Christian Democrats in the United States
Domestic Issues - Health Care We support the right of all American citizens to receive quality basic preventative care and medical treatment. We posit that the amount of money that could be saved by basic preventative care for everyone outweighs the immediate expense of treating advanced illnesses of the poor. Subscribe to Posts [Atom]

You're excited about reform, you're hyped, you want to do something to help the sick and the dying by banding together and working it out, and it looks like something's being done, except... well almost, but not quite.
And then a handful of people object and say, "but hey wait guys, look at that, it doesn't quite work." They become a "new opposition," and the people behind the movement of the political "reform" machine naturally lump us in with sociopathic pill poppers like Rush Limbaugh, and no one will listen.
The bill that the Senate agreed to debate (oh wow, how impressive) is one which still excludes some Americans from the hospital. "Those who have little, even what you have will be taken away from you."
By reducing the size of the oppressed group to 4% of the growing populace, the machine behind the curtain now manages the oppressed group more efficiently, and retains the political poker chip for future politicians.
Obama accomplished a new veil: now, you won't notice quite so many old and sick people bleeding and dying in the cold concrete streets of our cities. Meanwhile the Republican party plays the evil twin, looking the part of a murderous maniac but claiming to be on your side, so the Knight-in-shining Democrats can be moved about the board to execute the strategy of the big picture.
In fact we could feed, clothe and shelter everyone in this country, and send them to the hospital, giving them the "leg up" in freedom, so they heal, convalesce, or take their lives one step further into self-sufficiency. Overall we would spend less, and we would still have fun producing and selling in a free market.
A free and fair market is the best thing for tangible goods and many other things, but any fair and self-driven free society must refuse to buy and sell its own flesh and blood on a market. Our minds would grow brutish and dull, easy to anger and quick to kill.
If we continue to allow private insurance to rope our public economy into a private yoke, using minority oppression as a smokescreen to hide the deeper venom, then all we hoped for will crumble to dust.
Do not give up in the valiant struggle for truth. No compromise is possible to satisfy equal justice under the law. Health care reform now! But how can you reform one hundred and two soulless robots? Answer: COMMAND THEM.
"reform" perpetuates oppression of excluded minority
I am glad for the big new chunk of people the Senate has committed to ... what did they commit to exactly, just a debate about it? "The bill would cover 96% of Americans." Well what about the remaining four percent? Those Americans deserve access to basic preventative, emergency and palliative care as anyone else.You're excited about reform, you're hyped, you want to do something to help the sick and the dying by banding together and working it out, and it looks like something's being done, except... well almost, but not quite.
