Do you want the Terminator solution. It is guaranteed to work if it could be implemented.
Every Man, Woman and child in this country drop coverage now, completely. Let them sue eveybody until there are more lawyers than doctors working for the hospitals. Let supply and demand really kick in.
You got people who pay through the nose for healthcare and get no better treatment than a wetback.
Oh, and fuck anyone who says I can't use that term. That term means anyone who is in this country against the law. Prove it is something racial and I will not use it again.
The first thing people have to realize is that they do not owe you anything at all. After they tax you they might, but not everything. Nowhere in the Constitution does it say a single word about healthcare. If so, show me. I got a copy, just tell me where it is. I have read it, and I did not see it.
They owe you to provide for the COMMON defense, and a few other things relating to the infrastructrure, but very little. But they take all the work they can get because now, they have a golden opportunity to fuck it up and overrun costs and build unreliable garbage that needs continual upkeep. This way they keep their fingers in many more pies.
Let me tell you something now, very hard to accept, very hard to swallow, but I have some faith in CM people to be able to handle a new idea.
Some of you might remember me in other threads telling you just how much comtempt the rich who we support have for us. Some of you may remember about other issues, a similar point to that which I will make now.
All you people who needed a hospital in which to be born, were saved by medical science, who benefitted by advancements in technology, those disformed, handicapped and disabled. To you I say this. They only keep you alive so they can play the game, you reproduce and that breeds more people they can "help".
This makes portions of entire generations dependant on "them" and propogates further exploitation.
Let me ask you this. You have a $900,000 CAT scanner. You have had it for ten years. It was a tremendous writeoff in previous years, but 300 CAT scans at $3,000 each yields what ? But wait, there are 365 days in each year. Now with a $900,000 product, I would expect it's life cycle to be at least five years.
When do you and I get a chance to triple or quadruple our money in five years ? I don't say quintuple because people have to be paid to run it.
But why did it cost so much ?
You are asked to give, in this case with your tax dollars, to bear the cost of treating the needy. And if they pass it and you are a taxpayer you have no choice.
Well, it is not fair. If you don't get it it is not fair to you, if you ever contributed. If you get it it is not fair to me. Because I don't take that kind of favor.
Quick back to the CAT scanner. If the suits were not making more than the engineers, with their yahcts and Lear jets, pensions that boggle the mind and bonuses out the ass, that CAT scanner would cost one tenth what is does. But then once it gets to your local clinic or hospital, there is a whole nother bunch of suits to feed.
So the cost could be amortized alot quicker, I am not saying it would be cheap, but there are so many non-producing MFs involved in the process that it has made it prohibitively expensive.
Let's say there was no insurance or anything, it would all be out of pocket. Let's say the US goes to a VAT like Europe. We have more money in our pocket, but everything went up overnight.
No insurance, no nuthin. You need a CAT scan, hell even an ultrasound you pay. Full price. Most of us couldn't afford an ultrasound !, and you know it. And what's more, they advertise schools to become an ultrasound technician, do you realize that I already make more than that, and that I am actually technically a high school dropout ?
Like the computer schools, once they get your grant money and student loan money, you are on the hook. You might still be working at McDonald's.
But ultrasounds are commonplace now, and they ,,, the workers that is, simply don't make all that much money. The suits are making the money.
They might say "You can make $20,000 a year". I would laugh. You can't live on that anymore. And to be saddled with a loan, but then all that matters is that the suits and their families are doing well.
The grunts (that is you and I) are left to our own resources. What they get in proportion to what they do is never reviewed nor questioned, but when it comes to us it is. We are held responsible for everything, while they are not, while they take as nuch as they can, as long as they can.
This is the crux of the problem. This is why I want nothing from them.
