Hey ... dumbfuck anti single payer politicians .......... |
|
The only people in this country with decent, affordable health insurance are those who work for BIG bidniss or the gubmint. The rest us pay through our fucking noses or we do without. Many more of us work for small bidniss. You know ... Mom and Pop companies who can barely afford employees, let alone to pay for health care. Most of us who even *have* decent jobs are damned glad for that. Health insurance is a big bonus that many of us just don't have or pay for at the expense of other things we need nearly as bad.
Get your fucking heads out of your collective asses. Promise us health care and the white house is yours.
I don't give a shit if you're a Democrat, a Republican, a Green, a Libertarian, a Communist, a Socialist, or a Bullshitist. If you tell me in a way I would believe that you're for single payer, you got my vote.
The resta yuz? Feh .... quit blowin' in my ear.

2. And Make The Insurance Industry Accountable! |
|
They cannot refuse anyone because of a pre-existing condition nor can they gouge rates for such a person. Any person with a chronic disease is already being slammed with drug bills,hospital bills and everything in between. They would not be allowed to cherry pick their customer base. Be it illness or age or anything else they would have to accept everyone. It because of their tactics that make many companies try to push out the older workers,the workers that can still do their job but that pesky pre-existing thing haunts them at every turn. People without insurance get sicker and get in to see doctors when conditions are getting out of hand. Many die far too young because they couldn't get into a doctor without insurance or couldn't afford the prepay/copay. The system needs an entire overhaul. Doctors should be calling there shots(ya I know,bad pun) but they shouldn't have to be spending more time fighting an insurance company over what drug a patient should be taking or needless referrals before a test or surgery can take place.

3. I do not work for big business or the government |
|
I have good insurance and I do not pay through the nose for it.
The toughest selling point of single payer is convincing those who have insurance that it will be worthwhile to give it up.

4. If you have never been expensively sick, you don't have a fucking clue about whether-- |
|
--your insurance is any good, just like you don't have a clue about how good your local fire department is if you've never had a fire. That is the problem, of course. Most people will never get expensively sick, and they are too busy to think about changing their insurance.

The rest us pay through our fucking noses or we do without.
...you'd be reduced to the first of those options, whether you could afford it or not. "Individual mandate," remember? :puke:

9. what makes you think they care about your miserable little vote |
|
or mine
or all of ours
advocating single-payer universal health care would lose them all that insurance lobby money and get them kicked out of the campaign by the corporations that own it.
