blaming the "fuckhead," why not blame every goddamned voter and politician who worship at the altar of for-profit health insurance which makes its profit by limiting care?

Why not blame the fucking country for not instituting a truly universal national non-profit health care plan, free at point of service and funded entirely by taxes? Take the financial stress out of the equation, paying too much money to insurance companies, and then paying more for deductibles and copays, and nobody has to rely on emergency care.

THAT'S THE ANSWER TO OUR HEALTHCARE CRISIS.
