Showing Original Post only (View all)Two years ago today, America’s Profit-Driven Health Care system killed my only son. [View all]
http://bluntandcranky.wordpress.com/2014/06/25/two-years-ago-today-americas-profit-driven-health-care-system-killed-my-only-son-warning-profanity/"You see, he died because health insurers refused to pay for the care he needed: had they paid for it, they wouldnt have made as much profit. He died so that millionaires can get even richer, and thats the ONLY God-damned reason he died.
So heres a big Fuck You to anyone and everyone who opposes Health Care Reform. It could have saved his life.
Heres another one to anyone who opposes the Affordable Care Act (flawed though it is, it at least kept my boy alive a bit longer).
Heres a big Fuck YOU, Motherfucker to all the legislators and pundits who are still trying to block further improvements in accountability, care, coverage and quality in our national health care system.
Simply put, if you are in favor of a health care system that is purely based on greed and profit (as Americas is and has been), then you are in favor of people dying so millionaires can get even richer. And yes, Fuck You for that.
Fuck You, John Boehner. Fuck You, Mitch McConnell. Fuck You, Aetna. Fuck You, Sam Brownback. Fuck everyone who is like you, too.
You want objectivity when my kid got killed, motherfucker? Yeah, right. If it was your kid, youd be saying the same thing Im saying right now. So, no, Im not objective on this topic.
And fuck it, I dont care. Aetna banked big bucks, their people got bonuses, and where did that money come from? It came from denying care and saving money thereby: and by so doing, killing people like my son. So fuck objectivity. Sometimes, objectivity is just a bunch of rationalized, sophist bullshit.
In closing, heres one more FUCK YOU, MOTHERFUCKER FOR ANYONE AND EVERYONE WHO SUPPORTS THE POLICIES THAT KILLED MY KID.
Mr. Blunt and Cranky
P.S. Heres a big shout-out to the President for still standing by the ACA when so many evil, greedy motherfuckers have been buying congresscritters to try and kill more people with bad insurance. And a big boot up the asses of those bought politicos."
