I know it seems like I’m “jonesing” about healthcare reform and universal healthcare but I do feel that this is something that can’t be put on the proverbial shelf by the Conservatives and hope to be forgotten about.
Our government should not abandon the health care reform just yet. Leave it to the Conservatives to keep shooting it down. This is all in hopes of letting it die out and hopefully the American people will forget about it. They seems to think that all Americans have the attention span of a pissant. Uninsured people, especially children are a painful reminder that our country’s healthcare system is in crisis. When people have to choose whether to put food on the table, pay rent, etc. over going to the doctor when sick and buying medication-it’s a healthcare crisis. Why should we trust the government to remedy the healthcare/insurance industry in this country when they can’t effectively run the United States Postal Service. I was convinced long ago that the government is in the pocket of the pharmacutical and insurance companies, as well as the Food and Drug Administration. Obama should keep on fighting for universal healthcare. The first people to have a crack at it should be all the uninsured. The insurance companies feel threatened by the fact that the government will have control over their operations and they should be.
When you have pharmacutical sales people who make six figures a year and drive around in a company vehicle, it makes you wonder.
Exactly how important is it to health care for millions of people in this country? Sure, there is state-sponsored health insurance but it is sliding scale which is based on income.
Again, when you have millions of uninsured Americans who are lawmakers kidding when they say we aren’t in a healthcare crisis.
I know opponents of a universal healthcare system say that it’s not what it’s cracked up to be in countries like Canada and England but it has to be better than having no health insurance coverage at all. People in this country go bankrupt over medical bills and can’t even afford to buy prescriptions. What is the alternative? I say when the lawmakers come back next month from the break, they should not let the millions of uninsured Americans down.
