I usually try to not be particularly political on my blog, as I tend to think we hear too damn much political commentary in most other aspects of day-to-day life, but today I will make a brief exception:
I find it horrendous, criminal, and utterly ass-backwards that the United States has a "health care" strategy that revolves around having an employer determine and dole out the potential health care it may (or may not) wish to provide.
I find it asinine that so many foolish folks in the United States are so brainwashed by money-grubbing elitist politicians... that they will fight tooth-and-nail against any sort of attempt to bring universal health care to everyone in the United States.
I find it unbelievable that so many cannot see how universal health care for all the citizens of the United States is a civil rights issue.
How can so many in the U.S. not recognize how so much of the industrialized world treats its citizens so much more fairly and equitably than we do here (look at Canada and Brittan for just two of many countries who do a good job).

The lack of universal health care and the proliferation of assault weapons are two things that the rest of world can't quite fathom. And there there's a certain president.
ReplyDeleteYou are right! I am no fan of small government. We citizens need a counterweight to corporate greed and its short-sighted worship of the bottom line.
ReplyDeletethe medical industrial complex has hijacked your health care narrative.
ReplyDeleteall i hear about is funding health insurance but virtually zero on improving health. the money is in keeping people sick and obese rather than making healthy food more affordable than corn syrup laced junk food and soda pop.

I have always cared about politics..but I got a little crazy when Bush became president..mostly cause I knew how he fucked up Texas when he was governor..and then we had peace and good will for 8 years..when trump ran for office..I thought no biggy no one will vote for that asshole..so now I'm batshit about politics
ReplyDeletePoorly educated, gullible, easily manipulated minority will support a party that wishes to limit their health care, do a way with government social security and medicare while driving up the deficit with tax cuts for the wealthy; by directing their focus to gun ownership, gay people, abortion and hatred of 'the other.'
ReplyDeleteIt is like turkeys voting for Thanksgiving.
