Trump's Health Care Poor

Obamacare is not perfect.

Monolithic insurance companies control the market.

Their executives aberrantly raise the costs of medicine and hospital care.

Donald Trump excoriated the health system by stating with vehemence, "Obamacare is a total disaster and I promised to replace the ACA with the finest health-care plan there is."

Trump failed to elaborate on his scheme, but it's probably a combination of the GOP's traditional policy on health ie "Drop dead." and Trump's propensity for declaring bankruptcy.

It's his forte.

Although Captain Picard of the Enterprise has a question for Trump.

Also take note that Americans are illing more and more from bad food, compromised water, and polluted air.

More of the GOP's Drop Dead philosophy.

Sinners Beware

According to the Bible-Thumpers from the square states Obama was born the Anti-Christ.

White people from north and south hate the president.

His every policy attacks their supremacy, but none more than the Affordable Health Bill, which strips power from the insurance companies' governance over profit from hospitals, doctors, prescription drugs, nurses, daycare centers, hospices, old age homes et al.

Even more diabolical has been the inroads incurred by marijuana, signaling defeat in the War on Drugs. The radical right of the GOP refuse to wave the white flag and the Republican majority in Congress has passed a bill against ObamaCare in hopes of returning power to fat white men over the nation, but we weed smokers refuse to listen to their bullshit.

On 4/20 we shall gather across the nation and smoke reefer to tell the GOP.

Reefer now.

Reefer forever.

Death Camps For The Old

During the fight to pass President Obama's Affordable Healthcare Bill, the GOP accused the Democrats of having written a clause designed to create death camps for the elderly. This falsitude was promoted by Fox News to the believers in the Right and this week Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin proposed to cut funding for the SeniorCare drug program to save a mere $15 million over the next two years.

Death Camps are back on the list.

It's the way of the GOP.

Few Have Chosen

Jen Rowley is young.

She loves posing for photos.

I met her at the 169 Bar on east Broadway.

She left that dive for San Francisco.

The City by the Bay must seem more free, but I bet she doesn't have health care and neither do most Americans even though the vast majority are covered by health plans at work.

ObamaCare has changed all that.

Millions of people are losing their coverage, because their insurers do not meet the minimum requirements of the health care legislation and Americans are not bothering to join the new health care network.

So far only 140,000 have signed up to the plan.

27,000 through the website.

The GOP have declared the program a failure.

Democrats are abandoning what they perceive is a 'sinking ship'.

In truth the current national health system is broken beyond repair.

Americans pay more than any other country for less.

They don't know it, until they need health care.

Healthy people don't go to hospitals.

Except to visit sick people and they are generally glad that they aren't sick.

Obamacare is not the answer to this dilemma.

It still depends on profiteering insurers.

National Health Care is the answer.

No matter what the fascist say and I'm sure that Jen Rowley also knows this.

She is a young woman.

In the prime of health, but aren't we all?

Big Boys Don't Cry

The GOP revisionists collapsed in the face of the federal budget default.

Ted Cruz vowed to fight Obamacare to the last breath of his body much as Charlton Heston had sworn to uphold the right to carry a firearm into the grave.

John Boehner survived the crisis to continue as the party whip, even though the extreme right are fomenting a rebellion against his leadership.

They want to undo change.

John doesn't know what he wants to do other than cry cry cry.

I don't blame him.

Government as usual in the USA, bringing new meaning to the 4 Seasons' classic hit BIG GIRLS DON'T CRY.

The Magic Of The Law

Fox News and CNN were shucked out of their jocks by Chief Justice Robert's siding with the left side of the court to support President Obama's health care reform law. Robert's had wandered off the range a month ago and the right-leaning judges failed to lead the stray back to pasture. They were especially angered by the Bush appointee's writing the decision defining the requirement for all Americans to have health coverage as a tax and he has been called a 'coward' and 'traitor' by right-thinking people afeared of the socialism of universal health care. Roberts was seriously concerned by how striking down the mandate would impact his legacy as a justice. "The framers created a federal government of limited powers, and assigned to this Court the duty of enforcing those limits. The Court does so today. But the Court does not express any opinion on the wisdom of the Affordable Care Act. Under the Constitution, that judgment is reserved to the people." I have never had to use a lawyer in my long life and now I know why. I can make sense of a word they say, but the truth will set you free.

Obamacare According to the Drudge Report

Moments after the Health Care decision CNN reported on screen; BREAKING NEWS: INDIVIDUAL MANDATE STRUCK DOWN. Supreme Court finds measure unconstitutional. Fox News' intense desire to see the law failed in the vote result in yet another erroneous headline in the spirit of declaration of the 2000 presidential election to close to call. The media caught many of Barack Obama's opponents prematurely ejaculating with triumphant glee, but that happy moment was soon replaced by gagging, as they realized that a national health plan had been rammed down their throats. Glenn Beck called Chief Justice Roberts on his radio show a 'coward'. Sarah Palin tweeted the nation, "Obama said it wasn't a tax. Obama lies; freedom dies." The right is crying in their tea cup and nowhere are they crying harder than on DRUDGEREPORT Chief Justice Roberts joins left of the Court, 'It is not our role to forbid it, or pass upon its wisdom or fairness'... Dissent: 'We Cannot Rewrite the Statute to Be What It Is Not' RUSH LIMBAUGH: 'WE NOW HAVE THE BIGGEST 'TAX' INCREASE IN HISTORY OF THE WORLD' Republican governors vow to ignore Obamacare... HOUSE REPEAL VOTE SET FOR WEEK OF JULY 9... Speaker Boehner: 'Ruling underscores urgency'... MCCONNELL: 'Sold to American people on a deception' ICHAEL SAVAGE: 'ROBERTS EPILEPSY MEDICATION AFFECTS HIS COGNITION'... FLASHBACK NYT: Roberts drugs 'can have troubling side effects, mental slowing and forgetfulness' Did Justice Roberts change his vote at last minute? George Will: Conservatives' consolation prize... HURT: Defending John Roberts... CURL: Gift to Romney... How does George W. Bush feel right now? Like shit I hope. As for Dick Cheney? He doesn't have a heart. ps I called the vote the other way. Sometimes being wrong is the only way to be right.

Fuck The GOP

Bon was a bad influence on my step-son. His parents had abandoned him as a baby and his elderly grandmother was too feeble to enforce discipline on the wild child. The nine year-old had been implicated in arson, larceny, and house-breakings. No one like the boy, except for soft-hearted Fluke. A year ago Bon lit off a firecracker in a rice field. A shrapnel shard flew into his eye. His grandmother was too poor to take him to the hospital and the infected eye went drastically septic and Bon died for the sake of 1000 baht of medical care. The deposed PM Thaksin had instituted a 30-baht health coverage for the poor. Somehow Bon slipped through the system. No one in the neighborhood lifted a finger to help Bon. None of the neighbors answered my questions on the matter. To them he was a lost cause better off reincarnating to a better world. Universal Health Care exists in most developed countries, but the USA has resisted health reform as a threat to capitalism. England, Germany, and the other European nations enacted various welfare programs for the workers to stem the rising tide of revolution. President Theodore Roosevelt attempted progressive health reform in the 1912 presidential election. He was defeated by Woodrow Wilson. America resorted to guns, billyclubs, and prison to defeat the reds. The carrot was never a viable alternative. Harry Truman failed in 1949, however LBJ was able to ram through Medicare and Medicaid in the 60s to the chagrin of the AMA and insurance companies. Even Nixon sought to provide Americans with health care, but his measure was defeated by Ted Kennedy who thought the program offered to little. The senator later regretted his opposition and gave his heart and soul to the Clinton initiative, which was soundly trashed by the GOP and special interests groups, who mythified Hillary Clinton as a modern day Emma Goldman for wanting to keep Americans healthy. Few politicians on the right expected Obamacare to survive a Supreme Court judgment. Chief Justice Roberts shocked the GOP by aligning his vote with the three women and one man on the bench in favor of the moderate health care reform to cover all citizens on America, which spends the fourth highest amount per capita on coverage with horrible results in infantile deaths, life expectancy, and bankruptcies from medical bills. 15% of the US GDP is spent on health care. $2.6 trillion in 2007, because most Americans don't go to the doctor until they are really sick like poor Bon. The GOP refuses to accept this defeat. The media and radio talking heads have blamed Robert's unexpected vote on the meds to combat his epilepsy. More like the Chief Justice voted with his head, however the battle over the multi-trillion pie will continue throughout this election, since the GOP wants to fight all its losses like they weren't a loss, almost as if the South will rise again. Wisely Obama stayed out of the fray during the Supreme Court test rather than crow like his opponent about the coming of socialism. Hey, I like the color red. It goes good with black on occasion.
