We also pay for OUR healthcare...which enables us to get what we pay
for....so don't take away the hope we have to PAY (tough as it may be)
so we can GET what we need.....

insurance worries due to a lot of hard work, luck, and the desire to PAY

The burdens placed upon us by the rulers of this country are indeed heavy. Every wrong we must suffer, we can lay at the feet of the rulers of our country.

This ammounts to the 100 billionairs who own and control the means of wealth i.e. the means of production. Having the burden of chronic illness and inability ; makes the life in our country that much more difficult.

Many of our friends, who post here, are deeply worried about the issues of coverage, insurance and tomorrow.
As well they should be..
They FEAR and believe the garbage that the extrem right says about government. Government is a weapon of class that can cut BOTH ways. It can, as this government does--take from the poor and give to the rich--OR it can be a weapon that can destribute the wealth of this society, so ALL of us have decent housing, income, heat in the winter, food , education, access to culture and UNIVERSAL access to QUALITY healthcare, for all.

Why do so many believe this is utopia? Might I answer--because they buy the garbage sold by the ruling class--that they must spend more on prisons than on education--that our youth are potential criminals--not the future of the country.
And when our youth kicks the sh*t out of another who is struggling to learn, should we then spend more on teaching them that this is wrong or let them  LEARN this is wrong???
Peace --and fight for your right to thrive, not merely survive.
Piece--of the pie in the sky...for those who work to survive....
We spend 1 Trillion dollars a year on healthcare--we deserve so much more than they dole out to us.
We also pay for OUR healthcare...which enables us to get what we pay for....so don't take away the hope we have to PAY (tough as it may be) so we can GET what we need.....
