Republican Conservative Moron Logic Healthcare Reform Not Necessary
The health care system is hurtling towards a humanitarian crisis if it isn’t there already. It is dragging the middle class down and young people just entering the workforce will take their chances rather than have their whole paycheck go to insurance premiums. Americans are being forced into bankruptcy and choosing to forgo not only preventive care but prescribed and necessary care. Tens of thousands of Americans die each year for lack of care. This is the situation today, it will compound every year and the numbers of uninsured and underinsured will snowball.
But this is not a problem in the eyes of conservatives. To them the problem doesn’t really exist. The data is all baloney concocted by a socialist president looking to take over health care and make the rich pay for the poor and illegal immigrants.
But the reasoning of a conservative moron pig like Pat Boone carries weight since he and his feeble minded republican friends have representatives in congress. Despite what we all experience every day some of us are still in total denial. What follows from a Pat Boone article is beyond senile: http://www.wnd.com/index.php?pageId=127071
“For a while, he (Obama ) was saying there were 45 million Americans without healthcare. (False, of course, in that any hospital emergency room in America is required to care for any human being who comes in.) “
This statement is beyond incredible. By this logic every person in the country can cancel their insurance policy and just get in line at the emergency room. It’s free so why pay over $1,000 a month for a family plan and do what 45 million smarter Americans are doing. Go without coverage and get free care at the best hospitals in the world.
“Now he says it’s 30 million without insurance, and he’s determined to see that they get it. And, though we’ve just heard an earlier recording in which he himself says ramming this proposal through Congress with a 51 “hands up or down” reconciliation vote will never do, he’s decided that if that’s the only way to force this on us, that’s what he will demand. “
What does Pat Boone have against 30 million Americans who need access to healthcare? In a sane world you wouldn’t be so callous toward the lack of health care of 30 million people. Unless of course you were a wealthy person and the gutter dwellers among us were essentially invisible non-existent entities. No doubt Obama made the whole thing up in some socialist plot to redistribute the wealth.
“But wait. Analysis has shown that his 30 million includes 12 to 14 million illegal aliens, not entitled to any government benefits at all. “
You got me on this one Pat. 14 million sub-human Mexicans who we are not required to treat. So what if they die their aliens not humans.
“It includes a few million more young people who don’t want insurance, and millions more who could have and afford insurance, but choose not to have it.”
These people are choosing not to pay for health insurance but they still want you to take them to the hospital when they get hit by a car. When these people are lying in the street with broken bones and bleeding lacerations, they don’t say to the paramedics “leave me here, I choose not to buy health insurance”. No, they want to be rushed to the hospital for emergency care which they have no intention of paying for after they get it.
“So the actual numbers of people who actually need and can’t afford healthcare may be no more than 12 million or so. That’s a lot of Americans, and we’re right to be concerned and want to help. And what conservative leaders are shouting at us is that we can do that with a much simpler plan, for peanuts compared to the Obama plan. A simpler plan that won’t bankrupt our economy.”
Not quite as simple as this Pat. Even the insured can’t afford to pay for the out of pocket deductibles, co-payments and uncovered services. That’s not just 12 million people. It’s most of the people. That’s just not a small number of Americans that we should feel sorry for while doing nothing to help. It’s the whole freak’n country.
The rich can pooh pooh the pain of the proletariat. “Stop whining it’s not so bad.” Average people don’t count for very much these days. This is the land of opportunity and we had our chance and blew it. We’re losers and this country doesn’t tolerate losers. If you’re feeling the pain it’s because that’s what you deserve.
I am an American peasant. The pain I feel is the pain of greed. The greed of the filthy rich who managed to gain too much of a piece of the pie during the periods of republican rule. But I have a surprise for you Pat Boone. I like pain. It keeps me focused. It gives me a passion for revenge that will not be assuaged until the day comes when justice prevails and all people are treated as equals. Not in terms of material wealth, but in terms of the amount of suffering they are allowed to endure before they are deemed worthy enough for equal access to medical care.
Keep signing that happy tune Pat while the rest of us suffer. As they say ignorance is bliss. I suppose the more you have of it the more the more blinded you become to the truth.
