Health Care in America is a Joke

Health Care

2013

Capitalism is good, as long as the system leaves health out of it.

I lost my job a few weeks ago. I have always had the desire to work for myself. So here's my chance right? Wish that were true. The problem I'm running into is, my wife has lupus and I can not go without insurance for long. So I started looking into the cost of the Affordable Care Act. Affordable, really? The prices are way too high. The deductibles would send me straight in to the poor house within a year. How does someone with out a job pay $1,100-$1,700 for anything? What a joke.

If you want people to start their own businesses, provide them with universal health care. No one can start a business and have insurance at the same time without plenty of capital. Universal health care would give individuals like me, a chance to step out there and take a shot at their dreams.

I don't understand why it is even legal to use someone's hardship (bad health) as a why to capitalize. There is something morally wrong with getting rich when people are sick.

America please wake up.

The ones that are not effected by all this are the rich. They have the money and are making it through our suffering. Again, and as I stated below, they have the system set up to benefit their needs, not ours.

2017

Just thought I'd add to this post being our new president (Donald dumb ass Trump) is attempting to make things worse by moving the country further from universal health care. Universal health care is not free. We pay taxes folks. Who has to pay for the tax write offs when hospitals and doctors don't get paid? We all do. The only difference is that poor person that couldn't afford health care to begin with is now saddled with a bill they can never pay off, and bad credit when they don't. Wish there was a way to reverse the roles of the rich and poor. The rich would have a different appropriation for what its like to be stuck at the bottom with no way up. Most would probably end their lives.

2018

Affordable Care Act (ACA)... Lmfao, What a joke, but I don't blame this on Obama. Obama's plan was to make health care free, but the Republicans wont accept it. He compromised with the Republicans, and now we have a mess. Trump and the Republicans have now rewrote the tax system to de-funded the ACA, and what a mess this will be.

The Real Right and a Rigged System

The Real Right

Early 2013

What's wrong with being fair? Paying an equal percentage is fair is fair right? How is if fair for a millionaire to pay the same amount in taxes as a poor mother? The rich understand and "own" the economic system, and it's meant to be unfair. They've created a near perfect and very complicated system. It’s mean to insure that mostly rich children will go to the best schools. These future ares to the thrown learn how to maintain the legacies. The system has been designed to protect the wealthiest of the population. The Right is the buffer between the rich and the poor. Their only job is to protect the rich and their money at all cost. They attempt to manipulate the poor (on the right) into thinking that they are one of them (they need the votes because they only represent a small fraction of the population).

Who we are as people deep down inside has not changed since the beginning of time. The hearts of the Right still believe in slavery. They believe they are better then you and I. Their ideology has not changed, only the world around them. The walls are closing in on the rich and the right. People are becoming more educated. Liberals are trying to close the gap, and elevate the poor by making their voices heard. Social media was created by Liberals to just this. This is the Liberals way of fighting back, and to some degree it's working.

If your making less than $250,000 a year and you still are voting for the Right, either you have been completely fooled or you are lying to yourself. Warning: The Right is no different than the Syrian Regime, or North Koreans, or any other dictatorships. If not for the Independents (Libertarians) and the Center Left, we would be in an active war to rule the world. They don’t want peace, hate to compromise, and will stop at nothing to rule and control everything. Mr. President, the Left would be crazy to put down their guns. I promise you the Right will never put down their guns. The South is still bitter over the civil war and still believe that the South will rise again.

The warning I wrote in 2013 is coming true. The Republicans are in power, and Trump is a dictator (main just a dick). Trump will push us into war, and maybe civil.

Dear US Government

Dear US Government

Late 2012

This can stand true for the World.

We know that the gap between the rich and poor is growing. We know the Treasury is printing millions of dollars a day, and then gives it to banks to loan to the public. Lets instead give directly to the people Uncle Tom. Divide it out to "every US citizen". We should also implement the Fair Tax http://www.fairtax.org. We should stop giving out food stamps and free lunches to just the poor. If we are going to be fair, lets be fair. How is it fair to give to one class and not another. Either give fairly or don't give at all. Why is fair so damn hard to see. We should send every child to college that can make the grade; every child. If a child is not making the grade, give that child free tutoring paid by the government. Stop making it so hard. It should be easy. If you have proof of citizenship, your in. You see, the smarter our children the better they will be with their finances. How can you expect children to grow up and go to college, if right out of the gate they need to start work just to eat. Teach them the value of a dollar in school not on the streets. Implement universal health care for all. Rich or poor. Create a society of smart, wealthy, multi-diverse people with goals of not trying to survive, but trying to change the planet as a group. We are making it harder then it has to be. The system is intentionally too complicated. It seems the rich are scared that the poor will become smart, and the competition will increase. I guess if I was loaded and born rich I would have a different view, but I wasn't.

Early 2018

Wow so Donald (ass wipe) Trump just set the system up to truly take more money from the poor and middle class. They (Republicans) once again pulled the wool over the eyes of their poor base by giving them a little tax break that will expire. Wake the fuck up people.

Mid 2018

Our country is in a state of emergency. The Presidency has been purchased by Russia, and turned into a cult. Our elections may be rigged forever. It's clear that conservatives are easily brainwashed if you tell them what they want to here.

Welfare at the Cost of the Middle Class

Welfare at the Cost of the Middle Class

Mid 2012

Welfare: The organized effort of government agencies that grant aid to the poor the unemployed, etc.

Okay, so if this is the correct meaning of welfare and the government is supported by the people, why is the middle class stuck with the bill?

There is a current argument in congress today that basically says that the rich are not paying their fair percentage of taxes. Understand that not only are the rich, rich; they are very intelligent when it comes to money. Think about it, they've constructed a system that creates more wealth based on the amount of money you have (the reason the rich are getting richer). And they understand how to manipulate society in their favor. Not to mention they have the pockets to bribe the right people. If the rich are not paying their fair share of taxes and the poor don’t pay any, who do you think is being stuck with the bill required to support all welfare programs.

Just as a gut feeling I would assume that the lower end of the wealthy are really middle class and lower end of the middle class are poor (more smoke and mirrors). The lower ends wealthy have become the solders for the ultra-rich and have no clue that they are really only part of the middle class. The rich use these zombies to push their message (or manipulate). Damn it sure feels good to have the title “rich”. I call it blind. I don’t care how much money comes in each month, if you are unable to quit your job and support yourself until the day you die with no fear of how you will pay a major medical bill in the event of illness, you are not the rich. The truth is the lower end rich are so determined to look rich; they've put their selves in debt so far their children will not inherit a dime. What’s even worse is that these children have been spoiled into a false reality. One generation later and these families are in the poor house. Because mom and dad where so busy looking rich, they forgot to teach their children how to budget and live below their means.

The rich are paying the government to protect their livelihood at the cost of the middle class. Why do the rich not want health care to be universal; because the working middle class would have about $400 or much more a month to save(The middle class people are beginning to save and no longer spend. The poor already have free insurance or are already so far in medical debt and feel the future is hopeless, they don’t care to add more debt. And the rich don’t need it.). The rich like all other humans are competitive and want to keep as many people below “the line” as possible. Slowly the rich are pushing the line further and further away; driving us back to the days of kings, queens, and the poor ass peasants. The more people with money the less the rich are worth. Why do you think the rich have become so rich during this economic down turn? Why do gas prices fluctuate at just the right moments? Oil is one of the many tools the rich use to hold down the middle class. The rich want the middle class to have just enough money to support the poor, but not enough to generate more wealth. The economy has got to be scaring the shit of the rich though. If you study the great depression, you will find that the population as a whole became smarter with their money and began to save. This movement sparked and created wealth for people like Warren Buffet and George Soros. To this day these men still live frugal. But the rich do not want the middle class to do this and they are scared we might just learn from our mistakes and see the rich for who they really are. The rich want you blind, in debt to the banks they own, spend money on the goods they create, and pay for the poor. And God forbid someone generate enough influence to challenge them. Think about it. How will the poor and middle class ever have a say when we are too broke to get into office. Who was the last poor or middle class government official you remember? The part that is an absolute joke is how well the parties are at manipulating you. Both parties are rich. And most of their followers are middle class and poor. They say, hey people, we are going to take care of you when we get in office. Then they get in office and…….nothing. So what can we do? Vote maybe? For who? Our current process is doomed for the individuals below the line. Who's to blame for this huge divide between the rich and poor? I promise you it's not the poor.

Is it impossible for "everyone" to be rich? Some have to be poor. The larger the percentage of the population that’s poor, the richer the rich become.

Money is a resource. The rich did not want the past bail outs because more money must be printed to do so, and that means the value of their dollar falls. They become poorer overnight. A true bailout should have gone to the people directly. But instead the rich said no if we do that the ever growing smarter middle class will try to save it. So let’s just give it to ourselves. Hopefully the middle class will have psychological shift in thinking (oh everything is better now) and start spending again. This didn't work because you gave the damn money to yourselves and didn't think we would notice. The money should have been divided out to all “working” people evenly. You know the ones that pay for everything. And make their money the hard way. I don’t believe all the rich are corrupt but can someone please show me the ones that aren't?

Abraham Lincoln - “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.”

-Gradualism is how they got us here and we need to stop it. Little by little all of our freedoms are being taken away.

Will we ever get the things we need to truly prosper and be free? Or is this all just a vicious cycle that will doom society. Is human nature set in stone and meant to be this way? Look at history; has there ever been a truly free nation with peace? The answer I’m sorry to tell you is no. See the problem is that there is a left and a right to everything. 

Newton’s law applies to everything, including human behavior. Meaning there will always be struggle. And each and every human is worried only about numeral uno.
