Let Them Eat Cake: The Elitist PR War Against Health Care Reform

I once heard the comment about people dying in Africa “it was not a successful famine” not enough people died. The bottom line, this is all about Darwinism, survival of the fittest. If you have bad luck and cannot afford health insurance, and have a major medical problem, too bad for you, you die. We are not civilized human beings, we are animals.

excerpt from a letter to my friend back home in the USA (I am USA expat living in Thailand now for 3 years):

The stark reality of trying to make a living in Dallas and this health care issue is insurmountable. One major health problem and I am financially ruined. I am sure the job situation has not changed for guys like me at age 54 with my background and the prospects for a good quality of life is bleak. So, I am making the best here, I pay about $450 a month (there are cheaper places) and have a nice place with good cable and internet. Don't need a car, walk to the sky train in 5 minutes, eat good on $5 a day. I can see the dentist and have cavities filled or cleaning work done for $12 including xrays. I can see a medical specialist, dermatologist (trained in USA) or general surgeon for $9. The doctors here care about people and not so much about money, often they come back from USA after working there because they don't like working in the USA medical system. I want to do something about changing the attitudes on Health Care reform in the USA. I don't understand why we can't fix the system in the USA and Charles Payne of Fox News wants to perpetuate the unsympathetic bias that is pervasive in America regarding this issue: (see below post). Now with all the unemployment back home, I think there will be many people without health insurance and maybe we can rise up against the elitist unsympathetic pigs running this PR war. Why does this issue have to be so adversarial? We have to ask, who stands to loose if we design a medical system that is affordable? But I think it’s all a moot point because the people in control who could make a difference love money and believe they are superior human beings “Let Them Eat Cake.” Greedy lawyers have driven up malpractice insurance so high that you practically need to be a millionaire start practicing medicine. Health insurance executives purposely create policy to stall paying claims and stall approving medical procedures. Their strategy is to clog the system and do everything they can to sabotage doctors and customers. They hire lawyers to write insurance policies that are so complex intentionally making it very difficult to understand what is actually covered in your policy. They are gouging the public and making huge profits paying themselves huge salaries laughing all the way to the bank while people are dying. This is beyond greed, it is pure evil.
