[click image]Wasn't Rahmbo the first to float the no-public-option option? Do you have ANY confidence in these bastards?
... Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) sits at the head of a wooden table at his office as he and Sens. Christopher J. Dodd (D-Conn.) and Max Baucus (D-Mont.) work to merge two competing versions of health-care legislation into one bill. The three men will be joined by top aides as well as by members of President Obama's health-care team, led by White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel. The sessions started on Wednesday and could be completed this week.I have confidence they will screw us up really, really badly. I will be surprised if they only screw us up a little.
The group will make such key decisions as whether to include a government-run insurance plan designed to compete with private insurance companies. ...
I wonder, are they even relevant anymore?
ReplyDeleteIf all this nonsense is about health insurance (not health care), and people don't have jobs or cash to spend on a mandatory insurance policy. What's the point? It doesn't matter what they do.
Say hypothetically (we won't mention names here) someone had no health care for 20+ years, and now has chronic problems (mainly pain), for which there now is no medical cure for. Person has learned to manage pain with medical cannabis (didn't say cure it), and live without any hospitals at all.
So now along comes three official turds behind closed doors to decide to forcefully tax said person?
It's too little, too late. Even if said person could pay what tax was imposed, traditional doctors won't even do a prescription for what's already helping. IN other words Kaiser, or Mercy or the VA isn't going to give out a prescription for cannabis, instead they will push out something opium based, with acetaminophen which ruins your liver. Which also don't last for longer than 2 hours and really doesn't take the edge off.
They can pass whatever they want, it doesn't matter. They have already screwed this country up in many ways more than just health.
It's really not funny when folks think they know the answer to get someone into "traditional" health care, but the reality is traditional health care has been broken and exploited for so long such health care isn't health care anymore. What such folks need to do is put themselves into the shoe of the person who has tried traditional care, and found it's failures and moved on.
Does this mean if you break your arm don't go to an emergency room? no. But it does make all the advertisments about "see your doctor" a complete fucking joke.
If you have "health care" really the only thing separating you from not having it is to come down with something traditional medicine doesn't understand, or politically refuses to acknowledge exists. At that point you slowly become part of the underground.
Answer this, why does it cost $250 to get a doctor, with a glorified soldering iron to burn a hole in a nail which has a blood blister underneath? Hell, if I'd known that I'd went to radio shack for $2.50. But this isn't the only example.
Would I like to get a full physical? Sure, but what's the point when the only thing wrong with you is chronic pain? And you've already tried every drug via the underground?
Fuck their Insurance reform. We need voting machine reform to get rid of these pieces of crap.
Add into this the monetary failure about to come crashing down on our ass, and it's looking more and more like that stimulus money should have been saved to provide emergency food, and shelter for displaced Americans. Not for all the crap the banks say they need.
ReplyDeleteWhy is Bank Of America's advertisement on the stadium wall during the Los Angeles vs New York baseball game? Are they funding Baseball? How the fuck is that possible?
Yeah these three pricks aren't going to reform health, they're going to turn it into hell for people.
Voting doesn't faze this action. Voting, even when perfectly functioning, doesn't faze this.
ReplyDeleteVoting doesn't fix what's broken.
VOTING CANNOT FIX THIS.
