Now that "Sicko" is making its way across the country, the "Progressives" are riding that wave for all its worth looking to garner some support for their issues, most particularly their issues on health insurance.
Missing in this wave is H.R. 676, the plan to create Universal Health Care for all. One of the co-sponsors is Dennis Kucinich, one of the most silenced members of congress in the MSM. He has created some very needed legislation but overwhelmingly he is silenced by the Criminal Cabal that runs the media and our government.
MoveOn sent me an e-mail this morning about the plans for creating a Universal Health Plan that will insure all children. Sorry, not good enough. If Universal Health Care is as important as this group claims it to be, why didn't they include H.R. 676?
I wrote them with this question, included a link to check it out, then encouraged them to generate another e-mail including a petition to support this bill. I'll see if this gets done.
Then there are the "Progressive" Democrats. I wrote to my Senator, urging him to look into and help pass H.R. 676. I heard back from him alright. Yep, his office sent the typical form letter asking for support for HIS plan for Universal Health Care. The flaws? It keeps the Insurance Companies in charge. Oh, sure, he talks about adding a few regulations, but AS LONG AS THE PRIVATE FOR-PROFIT INSURANCE COMPANIES ARE IN CHARGE OF OUR HEALTH CARE, WE WILL STILL CONTINUE TO SEE PEOPLE DENIED COVERAGE AND MILLIONS UNABLE TO AFFORD THE COST. I don't "get" why people are ok with this. Bean counters at Health Insurance Companies are dictating what services you can receive, what gets covered. The doctors don't have the right as they should. I visited my doctor last week and she had to be very careful in how she worded things in her final report to the Insurance pigs. Why? SO THAT THEY WOULD PAY THE DAMN BILL. I ask this question a lot, but I'll impose it again: THIS IS FAIR, JUST AND RIGHT IN WHAT WAY AGAIN?
My Senator did talk about a sliding scale fee (which DUH should be imposed on ALL goods and services--don't quite understand why that very basic, logical, common sense and fair philosophy is not adopted across the board. If this society is gonna accept sliding wages, it sure as hell better accept sliding scale fees.). However, it doesn't go far enough. He talks about making insurance affordable for all, even for the inunsured. Well, many many families and households can only afford FREE at this point. Good lord, catch a fucking clue. You cannot keep health insurance in the hands of the private companies IF YOU DO NOT ADDRESS THE WAGE ISSUE! Minimum wage, 94% of what a living wage was in the 1960's. Today, 50%. Housing up over 100% and more.
HELLO, McFLY??!!! ANYONE HOME IN BRAINLAND??!!
So, Senator, how much are the Insurance and Pharmaceutical companies stuffing into your pockets?
Progressive, my ass. Progressive means you don't tow the party line. You tow your CONSTITUENTS line. Millions of us want free Universal Health Care. Millions of us are sick of having to wonder how we will afford it. As I pointed out to my Senator, we pay for your coverage. It's time you return that favor. Your consituents deserve the same privilege. PERIOD. END OF STORY
