Why can’t we have such care here? Because our government allows them to put the healthcare gun to your head and say “your money or your life”. Because our doctors are afraid of being sued instead of caring about what is best for you. They can only do what the insurance company will pay for, and because they are to busy looking after their bottom line instead of your health. We have the worst health care system in the civilized world, unless you are rich. I believe the World Health Organization ranked us thirty-fifth in the world. It is shameful!
Wake up people! Vote them out!
Capitalistic health care is an oxymoron. It is a breeding ground for greed and corruption. We have proven that beyond a shadow of a doubt.
1. Form a nonprofit health insurance program that everybody participates in and contributes to according to his or her wealth. In towns where there is no public hospital, nationalize the health care services. You can’t let health care be under total control of a corporate entity.
2. Establish true free market access to health care. Make public record the success rate and failure rate of the doctor’s different procedures. Don’t restrict access to medical schools. Make the doctor's grades and performance public record. After all is that not what you are paying for?
3. Create a medical rating system for doctors and medical facilities that include actual patient’s feedback along with a professional review panel. Make this public information.
Again, for the most part doctors and health care workers are not to blame here. I believe most of them make a fair wage and are dedicated to your health. But then there are those doctors who think they are worth over five thousand dollars an hour. And after all what is your life worth?
Education
This education thing is a no brainer. College tuitions are out of sight for the average person. Education should be based on one's ability to perform, not on one's ability to pay.
You see, I believe the dumber they can keep the majority of people the less likely that we can break their grip on us. Yes this is their strategy. Please prove me wrong. I know that sounds extreme but that is exactly what is happening. Yes we can afford to educate everybody who wants an education. Probably for less than we are paying now if you add the cost of the extra police, prisons and crime together on top of the schools. Many poor countries have a higher literacy rate than we have.
Most of what we are paying for in our educational system is not education but indoctrination. That means being regimented into class structures that are not conducive to the way your brain wants to absorb information. Many students drop out because they don’t want to be indoctrinated. I believe this is human nature. This is why kids start smoking pot. There is this obvious government pressure to get kids to believe that marijuana makes you an instant loser when many of them know their parents smoked pot and hey many of them are successful. The hypocrisy is so obvious and unhealthy. Kids are very much smarter than you give them credit for. Teach your children well.
If we start trying to educate kids to use their God given wisdom instead of trying to program them with fear they will be able to make the judgments in life necessary to survive any destructive temptation life has to offer. If students were allowed to pursue their interest from a much earlier age instead of forced into the rigid class structured system we have now, students would flourish sooner and achieve more. The result would be fewer dropouts, less poverty, less need for police and prisons.
What is really hopeful for us is the Internet, for those who can afford it. We are rapidly progressing towards being able to educate ourselves. We need to make it available to everyone. All this talk about this free country we live in means almost nothing if you live in ignorance and poverty.
