Who Cares?

The most worrisome thing about President Obama's proposed health care
reform is big business-as-usual (b-a-u), (the pill pimps and the
medical insurance gangsters) are for it.

On this issue the corporation agenda and the Human agenda are
fundamentally and diametrically opposed. And yet President Obama's
plan begins with the servicing, the complete appeasement of the
interests and agendas of the corporate gangsters.

I've been much aware of this personal and very public issue as I
continue to seek medical care in the aftermath of a medical crisis, as
a card-carrying indigent, Okie, congestive heart failure.

That which is being proposed requires everyone who is not indigent to
be paying customers of the medical insurance industry. The poorest and
the sickest will continue to be dependent on the kindness and
not-so-tender mercy of the government. All who can possibly pay must
pay the vig to the medical insurance gangsters, even if they don't
have any medical issues.

If you aren't paying the vig to the medical insurance gangsters you
will be fined and penalized by the government.

Small businesses would be required to provide medical plans to their
employees. The only plans that would be affordable will be those with
huge deductibles. The insurance plans may kick in when the medical
bill exceeds many thousands of dollars.

This is a class struggle. It is the corporation's agenda against the
Human Agenda. It is them against everyone else.

This proposed health care reform is much like the bail-out of Wall
Street after that greed-induced crisis. Meaningful reform will not
happen if it's all about the appeasement, the bail-out of those whose
greed created the problem.

It starts with calls to man the barricades. It starts with the
recognition of who is opposing effective, universal health care -
which is a Human Right.

It is government from the People, for the People, by the People
against government from the money, for the money, by the money. It is
a life and death struggle.

One or the other must perish.
