Health Care Reform Reality Check: From the Commander In Chief.

Are death panels real?

Do I have to loose my plan?

Are you going to kill veterans health care?

Do I trust the crooked companies that profit off of us or the crocked branch of government that allowed the HMO to be created? (Thanks Nixon and Kaiser you jerks)

Neither, lets trust the market-

The only way I know to bring costs down is to start selling a lot more of it. Anything is better than what we have now. The truth is I'm already paying for socialized health care. Im 25, I've been working since I was 13, every two weeks I get social security deducted from my pay check, they estimate that before I retire social security will be long bankrupt. So when it comes down to it, I'm paying for seniors to get there health care costs at premium prices set by the company. I would much rather those costs set by the government. That way the might be a a few bucks left in the account that I've paid MY WHOLE WORKING LIFE IN TO. And maybe, if the costs are low enough it can pay for a hearing aide or something.

The Clinton's convinced the pharmaceutical companies to lower prices of HIV treating drugs in Africa by one simple principle. Minimal profits will be made at high prices, if you sell ten times as much product at a reduced price, you can yield more profits by expanding your market base. Good for the pharmaceutical companies, EXTREMELY good for the HIV victims of Africa. Since this has happened 1.4 million lives have been reclaimed.

Why can't we do this in America? Because there is a middle man in America that isn't in the African HIV equation, the insurance company. The insurance company makes its money by charging the patient even for when it isn't sick. In way it's like the mob charging you weekly for "protection", when the only people that you need to be protected from is the mob itself. I hate these damn companies.


So anything we can do to disband these jerk offs is a good plan. And this isn't to say it can't be revised later to work out it's kinks, all good plans have them, all good plans work them out.


Look at me for instance, I'm a union boy, I work in the hotel workers union. On average my company pays $1100 hundred dollars a month per employee. With that amount of money you would think I would have the health of a god, I don't, just found out I have high cholesterol. And I won't take pills I want to get rid of it naturally, so I've given up meat, in two months it's come down 20 something points. This is good, but I'm not taking drugs, where is the money going? To the insurance company. I've only been to the doctor a handful of times in the last few years. Im healthy, but it's not my company thats really paying this money, it's me, they find a way to deduct form my paycheck at the end of the day no matter what.

This week I'm being laid off. I was hired 9/17/07 that means my company has paid about 25k in health benefits on my behalf. When I lose my insurance next week, I won't even have the option to take pills for my cholesterol if I decide I need to, it will be a pre existing condition.

This reminds me of when you borrow money from the mob and then when you repay them they more and then more and then more. Or more precisely, when you pay them for protection and when you finally need it, they don't protect you, you get your ass kicked, and then at the end of the month they still come around looking for money for "protection".

Wake up America, we need to be come together on this, we know the nasty game they are playing we've seen it before. United States of America, not the United States of Amnesia.
