At a time when the dysfunctional nature of capitalism is being demonstrated more and more dramatically with each passing day, we face an opportunity to put single payer health care on the agenda in the United States or to laze away as big pharmaceuticals, big insurance, big hospitals, corporate medicine and computer records megabusinesses impose a profit scheme that cheats most Americans of the health care they deserve.
Obama has it wrong. He wants all the big "health for a buck" businesses to get together and figure out how to make money at the taxpayer's expense. The American people have another perspective, we want the best health care in the world for a lot less money. We want something like a medicare system on steroids, something that can deliver tremendous health care bang for the buck to each and every citizen.
Now the greedy investors and nonmedical masters of medicine will not like this scheme. Too bad the big businesses will not get to skim the profits so they can enhance their portfolios. That is not what health care is about. Maybe Obama will figure this out if hundreds of citizens from every state fill up the D.C. jails as Congress and the Obamadministration
play patty cake with the profit maximizers who have no real interest in delivering health care, they just want to deliver profits!
I will be blogging here about how capitalism has failed to deliver the health care we in the United States deserve. Of course millions of citizens will have to rise up and sock it to the big insurance and hmo parasites that Obama has embraced. I would suggest that there is a place for some of these for profit schemes but fear that any tolerance of these greedy medical vultures will lead to them running and ruining the whole health care system the way they have already done.
Fill the D.C. Jails
Single Payer for all!
