I know so many people who think they are ok with their medical insurance. I have tried to explain to them how they are wrong with little success. I just finished reading this article which explains how medical insurance companies are willing to reprice their products and walk away from customers. Employers will just not be able to afford to offer health insurance and people will not be able to afford it.
As I have explain before there is no keeping the present system even though I hear this refrain constantly from people. They think it will continue to work — they think it is working. They are not only wrong — they are dead wrong.
Consider that in the midst of a national health care debt, insurance companies announced 20-60% increases on health insurance. Are they stupid to say this in the midst of the debate? Of course they are. It is red meat for the people who want to reform the system. But it doesn’t matter because the increases are part of the system and will get much worse, year by year. 14,000 people a day are losing coverage and this will continue and get worse. More and more will drop coverage because they simply can’t afford it.
To say health care is broken in this country is simplistic compared to the actual reality. Meanwhile, Republicans are committed to killing even superficial reform — reform that only deals with a few items around the edges and will be years before it is fully implemented. The only solution is to completely eliminate all profit from the system and enact a single payer system that controls cost. This is not nationalizing doctors, hospitals and providers — this is just nationalizing health insurance. It is the ONLY solution — MEDICARE FOR ALL — period!
But America won’t do the right thing — they will keep arguing and people will keep losing coverage and complaining about the costs. For all the people who will lose their health insurance today, this month, this year — you are screwed — and if you get sick you will likely be financially ruined. I will care because I have seen this day coming for a long time. Republicans won’t. Many Democrats won’t as well — some are so busy with this fetish about abortion to care about the real living people who are suffering.
Even if some health care reform passes, I won’t be celebrating. It is a crummy non-solution and will just make it harder to implement the real solution. Republicans will lie and say if only the present system was left along — many will believe the lie, just as they believe all the other lies of the right-wingers.
Today, I am sad about America — I am sad to see it fail, yet again. I am sad to see the rich win and capitalism screw everybody over, again.
America is Doomed.
Couldn’t have said it better … thanks Michael
America is Doomed.
Democratic Senator Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas ACTS like a Republican — she is opposed to DEMOCRATIC polices. She is a disgusting piece of SHIT. She is being challenged in the upcoming primary by a progressive.
However, BILL CLINTON supports LINCOLN and so does OBAMA. No wonder the DEMOCRATS are so utterly fucked up. OBAMA supports a person who DOESN’T SUPPORT the policies of the Democratic Party and Lincoln is proud of this fact …
You can’t count her as a DEMOCRATIC vote … EVER …
America is Doomed.
College is pointless for this GENERATION — America is imploding and what good will a degree do? Learning is important but NOBODY needs college for learning — learn what is important to you. College simply certifies the learning in order to making hiring by EMPLOYERS easier. But look at the cost — not just in money — but the stress of learning what somebody else wants you to learn — even if you HATE it. Plus, EMPLOYERS can’t be trusted — they will discard even the best educated and most loyal for MONEY. If you want MONEY — you are better off without COLLEGE — start a business — the people with the most money, just learned to STEAL IT. If this is what you want — you can DO the same — but be warned, it won’t make you HAPPY.
The smartest college kids will see through the nonsense and just QUIT. No more debt. No more school. Instead, just enjoy life — doing what you want. Be free and don’t be sucked into the roller coaster of the so-called American Dream which, of course, is hardly a dream. Ask you parents. Ask older people you respect. But don’t let them give you a pat answer — press them — get them to admit that they wasted their life pursuing the nonsense of America. Eventually, they will admit that if they could do it over again they wouldn’t go to college and wouldn’t have children. They would have just enjoyed life, even if it meant a shorter life — at least they would have enjoyed it. Travel the world. Have sex. Surf. Write. Read. Love. Be Happy because there is no hope for America.
What IS the point of working hard, preparing yourself, slaving at a job, and getting laid off when a younger crop of people comes along. Reject it ALL now. Do something YOU love — something that will make your HAPPY. Reject the treadmill.
Remember that 50% of the graduates from top schools go into FINANCE — an occupation that does nothing more than move numbers around on spreadsheets causing pain and suffering for many. What must it be like to spend your life in pursuit of bigger numbers of spreadsheets — what is the point? You still DIE with those silly numbers of the spreadsheets – your body still gets COLD as it is destroyed.
Don’t get sucked in by Religion — another worthless endeavor with no point. Don’t let ANYBODY tell you want to do — not even this. DO WHATEVER YOU WANT. Don’t worry about other people’s rules because these people are UNHAPPY and not content — they have wasted their lives doing the boring, instead of the EXCITING. Do the EXCITING — no matter if there is any money at all. Music. Paint. Loving. Whatever you want.
There is NO saving America. If the student loans won’t do you under, then the financial crisis will, or global warming will … or the pollution of the food, air and water will … or just the general corruption of a corporate system too greedy and a government that doesn’t work. Stop it all NOW. Enjoy your life — enjoy each day doing what you REALLY want — DON’T WASTE YOUR LIFE on the nonsense which is America.
America is Doomed.
Thanks Jon Steward for exposing Fox News’ Fair and Balance bullshit (again) and crazy Palin … Fox News couldn’t find one person who supported health care reform. Instead, Fox News only found people who already have socialized medicine that are opposed to health care reform.
