We deserve and can afford
to provide universal
health care.
Our citizens, children,
seniors, students,
service people, leaders,
and the most vulnerable
among us must be
healthy, fit, secure,
and productive if we hope
to move forward and meet
the challenges
we face.
Healthy people build healthy families,
communities, and nations.
This is not simply a matter of compassion,
morality, and common sense. This is a matter
of national (and international) security.
Sick and unhealthy working people can cripple
a community and incapacitate a nation.
The profiteers have made it impossible for the USA
to compete in the global marketplace. And the
insurance cartels, by treating health like a commodity.
cripple our businesses so we can no longer compete.
We can't afford to allow private speculators to
gamble with our health and security. We are
constitutionally guaranteed life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness.
Too many lives are lost due to inadequate access
to health care. Too many lose their freedom and
are driven into bankruptcy, depression, or early
graves due to profiteering and the machinations
of the insurance cartels. And to many people suffer
and are incapable of finding happiness, because we
allow transnational economic cartels to control the
cost of health care, cripple this nation, deny health
care, and marginalize or murder our family members,
neighbors, or friends. This creeping fascism must stop.
We must demand real change. Americans deserve
good health, rewarding jobs, safe and affordable housing,
functioning schools, and well-maintained infrastructure
and services. This is the least that we should expect.
If Republicans are too corrupt and Democrats to cowardly
to deliver... it is time to explore other options.
Past time. We have too much at stake.
