Versus

‘If by a liberal’ John F. Kennedy

Which world would you rather live in?

Most Republicans, Conservatives and Fundamental Christians, could be legally and most certainly psychiatrically and medically, diagnosed as Sociopaths and/or Psychopaths. Not only that, but these people are Capitalistic Imperialistic Terrorists who should be removed from America, they are ruining the United States of America, and they are ruining the World.

OR

“….if by a liberal they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people- their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, their civil liberties.. if that is what they mean by a “liberal” then I am proud to be a liberal. ” ~ John F. Kennedy

Any Questions?

Michael Moore took some of the 9-11 rescue workers that where sick down to Cuba and they treated them for free.

The problem with the American people is they don’t standup to this government and demand health care for everyone. The insurance and drug companies are getting rich off the backs of the sick.

THIS HAS TO STOP.

If Cheney had a typical employer-provided policy like Blue Cross/Blue Shield, he’d have hit his “lifetime maximum” a long time ago. The only way he’d get out of it is if his employer changed insurance carriers and that’s not so easy.

Also, if he had an employer-sponsored plan, it’s likely he’d have been “terminated” or his job “phased out” because his constant, expensive medical care would have jacked up the rates for the entire company at renewal, AND he’s so old that he’s a liability on the policy.

Health insurance companies now have procedures in place so employers cannot “jump” policies each year to keep their rates down. The first year of the policy, the insurance company uses “Average Age” to determine rates. The second year of the policy, they use actual “risk” based on medical treatment throughout the first year of the policy.

Most insurance companies WILL NOT give employers quotes on policies if that employer has “jumped” carriers in the past 3 years. Trust me, I know – I used to shop for these employer plans.

And I was the lucky one who got to explain the “new benefits” to our employees.

We need socialized medicine. We have socialized education, police, firemen, EMTs, etc. The only people benefitting from the current system are the insurance companies.

Just look up “cost sharing” sometime.

Healthcare needs to be free for all. It needs to be part of all of our taxes. (and before you scream SOCIALISM…remember that our public schools, our fire departments, police departments and the US Post Office…are ALL so-called “socialist” enterprises that each of you pays for every single day.)

However, a message like this IS a start.

Truthfully, a good number of good people without the good fortune of well…fortune…are going to have to die before we all get off our collective asses and demand a real solution to the national healthcare crisis.

It’s called an industry for a reason.

“Are you saying tax payers (Cheney’s employer) CAN participate in the health care provided to him?”

No, they cannot.

“Sure, employers are not required to provide health care, but those that do enjoy that same coverage.”

I’m not sure what you mean here. Employers often have different standards of insurance coverage. The CEO will enjoy a much higher standard of coverage than the department manager. Is that what you mean by “same coverage”?

“I don’t think this holds true for any company in America because it doesn’t make (cents), does it?”

Again, I’m not sure what you mean.

Insurance is expensive, even for companies that want to provide it, as mentioned by someone above and often they are just as happy not providing it.

How about coining the term “antisocial medicine”, which all too often would accurately describe conditions under our current for-profit system run by large megacorporations? It would be important to keep repeating this term at every opportunity, until it becomes part of the popular discourse.

“…the rank and file are usually much more primitive than we imagine. Propaganda must therefore always be essentially simple and repetitious. The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly…it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over.” — Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Propaganda Minister.

“See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda.”- George W. Bush -May 24, 2005

translation: “We don’t want to dignify this with a response because then people might see how full of sh!t we are.”
