(62,325 posts)have to work so hard to stay alive in this country. While Will can probably do all this, there are untold numbers of people who do not even know how to use a computer, or have anyone to help them wade through all this. And to have to PAY to be so abused, is unconscionable.
Health Care should be a right, but here people are just commodities and the rights go to Big Pharma and the Private Insurance Corps who mostly wrote this legislation. Their right to profit, trumps OUR right to live. It's better that people understand how it is, rather than remain hopeful that there is someone within this system who actually cares about them.
Wendell Potter, Whistle Blower described it perfectly when he told how shocked he was to see Americans lining up for a Third World charity organization, then operating here, in the US. Of seeing Americans being treated in Animal Stalls, desperate for care they could not afford. It touched him enough to go back to his HC Corp and show them his photos, hoping to get a reaction similar to his own very human reaction.
Instead, when he asked them what they saw, what they thought of it the response was 'More Customers'. But how, they had no money which is why they were there?
Now we know. Privatize Medicaid, force everyone to buy HC, if the can't afford it, the Health Ins Corps get it from Medicaid instead of that money going directly to the hospitals and doctors.
As that Public Fund, passes through their greedy hands, 20% or more is pocked by them.
What a scheme, if only we all could pull off something like this.
