HEALTHCARE REFORM DEBATE
Once again, we are proving that we have the best government MONEY CAN BUY. When I read and hear about the town hall meetings where citizens are up in arms against health care reform, I have to chuckle. Again, the sponsers of these people have framed the issue in such a way that emotion has overridden logic. Death squads, if only it were so. I know who I would put up as candidates for target practice. The followers who can be so quickly caught up in there own fears because they can't sit back and think for themselves. Usually they are smug because they have healthcare insurance provided by their employers. They forget that if they lose their jobs, they quickly could sink into the morass of the many havenots in this country. Now seriously, why can't our President get his party behind this. The truth of the matter is, we already have a huge percentage of our populace on government sponsered health programs. I have always been a supporter of the Democratic party, but now I feel that both parties have become the puppets of big business. Our elected officials are continuously selling their votes to the highest bidders.The drug companies and the insurance companies are controlling OUR elected officials. The Dems have to sprout a pair. If not, don't whine in 2 or 4 years when those great framers the GOP retake the government. I further can't believe the people of this country can act so stupid, petty and selfish that they could elect George W. Bush, not once, but twice? Come on people, aren't you sick of being the puppets? Can't we do better?

ReplyDeleteI still am ineligible for Health Insurance, even though I am perfectly healthy! However, because I have a medical 'issue' that affects over 75% of the population, I am still considered part of the minority (which makes no sense) and continually get denied!
I hope people will finally realize that a 'public option' is not the same as totally universal healthcare... it is simply a way to keep private insurance rates down, and give people a chance at life and happiness when they otherwise wouldn't have it (because they have to choose between staying sick or spending more than they will make in 2 years on medical expenses).
Love the blog - keep it up!
