I will keep this short and simple. Health care in America is a fundamental, unalienable, human right, as enunciated by our forefathers in the Declaration of Independence. Any elected official in this country who continues to treat this fundamental unalienable human right as a commodity is complicit in violating the human rights of every citizen in this country.
It is time that we stop dancing to the tune that the Insurance/Pharma industry has been blasting in our ears for decades, and enact a single-payer health plan for all Americans. We should not really care what the big-business-financed Tea/GOP calls it and have our trusty remotes at hand to mute the inevitable $billion add campaign against it. Most of us already get the bottom line beneath all the layers of disinformation. We Americans are not quite as ignorant as they think we are. Not anymore.
No American should have to hear or tell heart-rending, Kafkaesque, stories about being victimized by their heartless insurance companies. We should no longer accept that millions of Americans have to choose between going to a doctor and feeding their families. We should no longer tolerate that the wealthiest country on earth has the infant mortality rate of a developing nation. No one in this country should die, because a disease or disorder went untreated. And we must meet the mega-business effort to keep us in our place with a short and simple response: Not in my country.
My question to you out there is: how much longer are we going to sit back and allow our elected officials to line their pockets with cartel money and violate our fundamental, unalienable human right to decent, affordable health care?
