I read an article about Hillary's plan for "universal" health coverage. It's every bit as frightening as is Edward's plan. MANDATED health insurance. Gotta buy into it. Gotta use it. And guess what? Under Hillary's plan, she is not ruling out the possibility of FINING those who elect not to have health insurance. The state of Mass is going to begin doing that next month. You can be fined if asked to provide proof of health insurance and you fail to do so.
What the fuck? What country are we living in? Honest to god...
And democrats are applauding these plans? People are still continuing to support these nut cases?
There are of course a lot of conservatives saying this is what happens under Socialism. Well either I'm not a Socialist or I have a different definition of Socialism, because according to my belief system, the government should be using OUR TAX DOLLARS to help ensure each of us are able to afford housing, health care, energy, water, food. The basics. That's what a government OF and FOR the people does. Other than that, sorry--they don't get to say HOW or WHERE or even IF we choose to obtain such things. Help foot the bill then stay the hell out.
Hmm. I wonder if there's even a "label" to attach to that mindset? Maybe there isn't...
We're already MANDATED to provide automobile insurance, which is really ridiculous, and homeowners insurance, again, ridiculous. Now Uncle Sam is talking about MANDATING us to buy into health insurance.
There's gotta be another way. My mind is still processing all of this, still trying to figure out an answer. Or perhaps, answers.
What needs to be included in this discussion is the wage gap. We need to be discussing how wages have grossly failed to keep up with the cost of basic living expenses. NEED to be discussing this. You cannot have a discussion about the health care/health insurance crisis without addressing wages. And yet, these dimwit, clueless candidates think they can. Or at least think they can skirt the issue.
Well, this American knows better. And I am utterly disgusted, thoroughly disappointed and at this point, have no plans to cast a vote in the presidential election. These people aren't listening to the people. They're listening to the people around them day to day. And they're then feeding us a line of bull. I'm finished with writing my representatives, requesting, even demanding they listen to their employees. Sick of the excuses. The system is broken and I am DONE WITH IT.
So go on, progressive democrat. Rally around these people. Continue to live the illusion that the democrats are for the "little people". As I've been saying for a couple of years now, there really is no difference between the two party system. After the recent election, I would hope most of us would have understood this by now. The big clue was when Pelosi said "Impeachment is off the table."
And hear me when I say this: I will insure myself IF I can afford it and IF I choose to. Hear me on that one Uncle Sam? You can have my taxes but you CANNOT have my freedom of choice.

your profile said were kind and empathetic....maybe not...you have been doing some less than kind things to me when i respond on the crallspace blog....now, that also means that you allow your self to be influenced by others, without thinking on your own? BUT, reading thru your blog, it is obvious to me that you DO have a mind of YOUR own, with some depth and compassion, and intelligence....please...keep it that way.... thanx.....(o:
p.s.
whats the difference between a lawyer and a vulture?
oh, i dont know, not too much some or alot of the time...depends on if they follow their own heart (?) or follow the good ol boy crowd around....so basic...so basic...but will they ever GET it????!!!!!
oh. ok. i didnt see that..now i do..."frequent flier miles..."
lol
...the camera adds 10 pounds???sigh i dont know, but i will ask, definately.....
I think we should have universal single payer government provided health care like every other country in the free world. Not mandated insurance.
I think it should be illegal for government to force people to do business with any private company. If the governemnt wants to require insurance, they need to pay for it and provide it. What a f*cked up country we live in.
i keep hearing people talking about hillary care, but not one of them has mentioned who is going to pay for it.
what's wrong with me? is it because i'm poor? why don't i agree that hillary care is a great plan?

i need you to be more specific. what were those things i said to you on the crallspace blog? i know there was one day a few weeks back where i was in a foul, pissy mood and said something to another (perhaps you) anonymous poster, something like "wtf?". the poster had posted numerous, individual, short comments. i'm on dial-up, so it takes awhile for comments to upload. that day, it annoyed me. other than that, i don't recall saying anything else unkind to commenters.
