"America is the GREATEST country on Earth!!!" Really? Then why is healthcare a benefit? Why is somebody in Communist Cuba paying $2.50 for a lifesaving medication when people that rushed into that chemical cesspool that was the twin tower wreckage to save lives mortgaging their house 3 times over to pay for theirs?
Yes, it's true. I know a lot of people like to bash Michael Moore, maybe some of it is deserved, but watch his film "Sicko" and tell me it doesn't fucking enrage you. This whole fucking healthcare system we have here makes me sick. That it was partially cooked up by a sitting president should make you even sicker, but is it really that surprising? Health is not a BENEFIT! You shouldn't have to work for it or even fucking pay for it. Yes, I've been a recipient of governmental insurance, but do you know how much it doesn't pay for?
Every year they cut medications, services and treatments from programs across the country and medication copays are on the rise. This is how we treat people? And a lot of people have this image of some crackwhore with 7 kids as the type that predominantly receives these "benefits", but that's not the case. A good majority of people who receive them are hard working people buried in debt or that got cut from the insurance they have through work because they forgot to dot an "i" on a claim form.
I'm tired of the notion that socialized medicine is going to turn us into Communist Russia. Socialism is NOT Communism. Is Canada or any of western Europe Communist? Last I checked, no. That argument was created by the rich fucks in Washington and on Wall Street because if that happens, they stop banking millions and billions a year.
Did you ever notice that the top aspiration for most children is doctor or lawyer? Ask any classroom and I guarantee you at least 50 percent give you one of those answers. Doctors make lots of money, as do lawyers. Doctors here make more than anywhere else in the world. It's a great paying profession anywhere, but find me a surgeon in Europe that has 7 luxury cars 2 huge homes and a place on the beach. Lawyers, well... There are good and bad, but the richest ones keep the government and corporate suits raping you six ways from Sunday out of prison.
Sure, become a doctor or lawyer. Have fun paying back all that money you borrowed! Work your ass off in school for minimum 8 years then spend half your working life paying back your loans and maybe you can enjoy your hard work by the time you're in your 50's, just hope you can afford your cancer meds by then.
There are countries in Europe where you can go to college for free or next to nothing for a lot of things. But you wanna know what's REALLY backwards? People there with what are considered minimum wage jobs here can afford to live. Will it be a lavish life? No. But they live comfortably, healthfully and without mountains of crushing debt. I've known people who've worked in stores and restaurants who live better than most middle-class people do here.
I'm sorry, but the US is a disguised third world. The difference being that instead of some armed militia controlling the wealth, it's a bunch of assholes in suits. America, love it or leave it! Right? How about we change it? Other goverments fear the people, somehow that's been flip-flopped here. We elect and pay these pricks, how about they scratch our backs for a change. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness! Read the fine print and you'll see "Terms and conditions apply. Offer valid to straight, white, Christian men only."
The reason "regular" people bitch about Europe, Canada, etc. is because they realize they got a raw deal. Curse them fuckers for treating people like people!

Rei for president! I'd vote for you! ♥ I agree and I know that everyplace has problems, but people here seem to face odds that are more often than not, not in their favor. Yeah, it's the land of opportunity, if you can afford the interest rates. You won't get killed by a cartel, the police do that! There are positives about America, the negatives just seem to heavily outweigh them.
ReplyDeleteAnd if anyone wants to take a shot at her for being on disability, you try living on that and get back to me. K, thx!
Love you, sweetie! XOXO ♥♥♥♥
The horrid thing about the presidency is that it's a fucking popularity contest, just like in schools with the prom king and queen. Nobody who should actually be in power wants to be, or has the dough/horrible personality to win the election. It's despicable.
ReplyDeleteLove you too! <3
Thanks to you both! :3 Yeah, I'm good with the presidency thing. Don't want the headache and I'd end up selling everything for a few Poppy fields and make money the honest way. ;)
ReplyDeleteLove you ladies! :3 *Hugs*
