Health Care Reform

You can reduce your costs with regard to pharmaceuticals, but the current system is untenable no matter how much you stand on your head and attempt to curse it into being adequate.

The strategy of manipulating patents, exploitation of them, and closing the trade tangibles that are baking cakes for the only people that don't need the help, i.e. abusive, opportunistic pharmaceuticals needs to stop.

We have hit terminal velocity.

I am not offering you a website, a number to call, or a pharmacy to visit.

Discuss it with your doctor, because if yours is anything like mine, yours is just as fed up with insurance companies dictating health care as mine is.

They milk doctors and patients alike while proclaiming to be "Insurance Health Care Providers."

That is an issue that has not been addressed, and perhaps has actually gotten worse for many people right here on this board, not to mention the public at large.

My friends in the North that support Hillary Clinton

particularly our friends to the North in Canada that support Hillary Clinton, I ask you to look at things from the perspective of a person that lives way South of you in the US.

I know some wonderful Canadian friends, and they are just about the most caring, determined and resourceful people I know. So I ask my neighbors to the North to consider a few things.

Before you judge why I support Bernie Sanders instead of Hillary Clinton, let me elucidate why I feel the way I do and the stark realities we have looming in front of us in the US.

Probably 90% of Americans would gladly hand you our government if we got adequate health care and weren't drowning in medical debt.

Most of us would probably hand you our government for student loans, too, which we are now indentured servants because they cannot be wiped in a bankruptcy. I just barely escaped that fate, but far too many have not. They are *permanently* indebted for merely getting an education.

Can I have your Parliament and sensible laws? Can I pay taxes knowing that no one is going to be denied an education or healthcare, without them being permanently financially in the hole, bailing out a boat with a spoon? I escaped that fate. Most didn't or my generation.

Can I pay taxes knowing that they will be invested in my country and not bombing someone else's?

I'll take your government in a heart beat.

Please don't ask me to vote for Hillary Clinton because for far too many in the wealthiest country in the world, we are on life support.

Stop testing our intelligence "Security" industry

I ran yesterday though I was nervous that I might be the recipient of a bomb, but I ran anyway.

If you have all of this surveillance apparatus and cannot determine that there will be an attack by 8 terrorists, while we are spending billions to fund you, you are dumber than a box of rocks.

This absolutely makes me want to defund your asses because we are getting nothing for our money. Shit like this goes on, we are frightened to run, go to movies, concerts and yet all you do is make the situation worse, "security" industry.

You are a big bunch of frat boy failures that have way too much taxpayer money and far too little intelligence. I am fucking disgusted.

I just do not understand Paris

How can you indiscriminately take lives like that?



What motivates people to be so evil against people that never did a mean thing to them?
