Reply #59: Our so-called 'health care system' is the laughing stock of the industrialized world.

[Danger Mouse]

I am very fortunate that my job (though the pay is low) provides health benefits. I was uninsured for more than a year and it was a scary feeling. This country's system is based entirely on greed, greed, and more greed, and it is disgusting. Everyone SHOULD be outraged by it, but people continue to keep swallowing it because politicians keep conjuring the 'socialism' and 'big government' bogeymen. Politicians are some of the biggest culprits because of the big fat paychecks they collect from the sleazy insurance industry. These politicians, in combination with the fucking scumbags that run insurance companies, do not WANT single-payer universal health care. They want to continue to collect fat profits off of the sick and dying. They are our enemy, whether Democrat or Republican.
This is a MORAL issue, not a POLITICAL one...we can afford billions upon billions for pork and waste, but can't ensure that the children of our country have health care? That is criminal, and this nation should be ashamed of such a sickening set of circumstances.
Obama/Hillary have lousy med plans that are little better than what we have now. Edwards or Kucinich are the way to go...we need CHANGE not more of the same SHIT!
