National Health Care Now!

I am trying to not get too worked up about this because it is the same old b*llsh*t like always in terms of politics.... but....

I am annoyed as hell about the current yammerings from politicians and pundits about the "national health care debate". We finally have a president again that is trying to do something that will help the PEOPLE of our nation and improve the quality of life for our society. All people should be able to have access to health care regardless of their economic background, their job, or their age and stage in life.

The politicians and pundits who keep working to minimize and negate the idea that PEOPLE should have guarantees about having health care are rude, obnoxious, evil little people who only wish to greedily hoard their own riches. Even more obnoxious is that these politicians and pundits use unscrupulous tactics to sway many to their side. They prey on the idiots and the unaware in our nation and make up foolish and hyperbole filled arguments designed to make the masses who haven't got a "clue" so to speak duck-step into the old Reagen-era notion of "Oh my God, Govermnment is the root of all evil." and "You'll give me a "national plan" only over my dead body!"

It is foolish, stupid and frustrating as hell. How can any REASONABLE person who believes in social justice, fair governance, and a society about PEOPLE not corporate profit not see that HEALTH INSURANCE CORPORATIONS are about THEIR OWN PROFIT, and do not give a damn (really) about the health and well being of any of their "clients".

I hope that Obama does not waffle on the notion of a "government option" in terms of his health care reform. If he does, then I suspect all will be lost. Additionally, I hope that Obama does not get beaten down by all this yammering and b*llsh*t from the extreme right and give up. WE NEED HEALTH CARE REFORM AND WE NEED A "GOVERNMENT OPTION" so that we are able to treat our nation's citizens fairly.... not in the biased, discriminatory manner we do now by giving people different coverage based upon what their employer is willing to cough up money for. It is stupid that we are even having this debate. We should have had national health care for all when Theodore Roosevelt first suggested it long ago. We should have had it when Clinton tried in the 90s. It is utterly assinine that we do not have national health care.
