60. Many are afraid of asking the Overlords for too much. It's not unlike the Stockholme Syndrome

Apr 2016

where the subjects come to revere those that dominate them.

People are literally dying before they should because of a lack of health care. More babies under the age of 1 year die in this country from lack of care than any other modern nation and some not-so modern nations. How can an America accept that? How can Democrats accept that? They are afraid to ask for single payer. Afraid their authoritarian masters will get mad at them.

The Masters lied to us when they GAVE us the ADA. They recognized that the insurance industry would still be sucking off their profits while many millions still wouldn't have adequate coverage. They said it was a first step. Yeah, right a first and last step.
