What health care coverage?
14.5 million people are unemployed in this country.
In July, people unemployed for more than 27 weeks rose to 5 million. It increased another 584,00-meaning 1 in three people unemployed have been for longer than six months.
I was speaking with a friend about the health care issue this weekend. Her take? Like many-we don't need any death squads like England!
Her son is disabled and on medicaid.
I asked her if he had ever been denied treatment?
"No", she said-but that is medicaid."
"I'm not insured", I told her. I am 55 and working for a government program-hired through a temp agency. It is a government program to help people find jobs. I do not get paid for holidays or
receive health insurance.
For the first time in my life, over 30 years of employment in the US, paying for health care, I don't have it.
People with disabilities and those over the age of sixty five have government health insurance. These are considered, "entitlement programs" .
We take care of these two populations on a national level.
Oh! We also have "socialized health care" for veterans.
What is this madness?
The health care industry has gouged us for years. We hear nightmarish stories about people dying. Death squads already exist. Ask anyone with an HMO. Many people trying to appeal decisions by health care insurers die before they get a chance to receive treatment.
Why is everyone screaming about national health care coverage?
Our country descends into madness.
Ignorance is our enemy. The insurance companies must be gleefully watching the nations citizens descend into Dante's inferno of fear, suspicion and paranoia-shaking heads in amazement!
How can this be so easy?. they ask.
"It is a dream come true!"
We had no idea-the mental instability of the American people "
The rich white man's last hurrah
