I am a very lucky person indeed. And yes, this country was built on the backs of hard working PEOPLE. Not govt.
And those people that worked so hard and built it into something that can give people opportunity were not shackled by the govt and taxed so hard either. They were free to pursue the American Dream.
In my opinion, if Obama had done this right he would have took the bull by the horns himself. And we would have a REAL healthcare bill that gave everyone in this country HEALTHCARE.
That's something I wouldn't mind my taxes going to.
But instead, he FIRST cut a deal promising the pharmaceutical companies that they can continue ass fucking us. Then he handed the ball to Congress. And they did what came natural. They cut deals with the insurance companies. So now we have a nationally mandated Insurance scam.
We now HAVE to buy health insurance, whether you want to or not. And they are hiring 16,000 new IRS agents to enforce that.
Is this "healthcare reform"?
Seems to me that true reform would be stopping the hospital industry and the pharmaceutical industry from making it so expensive in the U.S. that people can no longer afford to go to the doctor without insurance.
Maybe I'm just a little older than some of you. But to me it seems ridiculous to think that an average person can't just go to the doctor and be able to pay out of pocket. That's what I did for most of my life. That's what my parents and their parents and their parents did. But now? We are ALL getting ass raped by the medical and insurance industry.
