'Health Care' GENOCIDE: STOP it or just SLOW it down? Which camp are YOU in?

[asteroid2003QQ47]

GENOCIDE of The People, by The People, For (2 or 3% of) The People!

It's estimated that 137,000 Americans have died between 2002 & 2006 because of lack of health insurance.

In February of this year, TPM estimated that 2,220 people had died since Obama took office and because of lack of health insurance.

(Thank you for these tpsbmam)

The information presented in this post explains the basic estimate I use. That estimate currently is 22,000 Americans dying from lack of health insurance per year. Divided by 365 days of the year, the number is 60 Americans per day.

= SIXTY DEAD AMERICANS PER DAY!

X 365= TWENTYTWO THOUSAND DEAD AMERICANS PER YEAR!

Train hits car; 3 die ACCIDENTAL deaths and MSM is all over it!

22 Thou ORCHESTRATED deaths a YEAR is not newsworthy,
yet don't you dare call it GENOCIDE!

(If it's not GENOCIDE, what is it?)

Universal Single Payer Now!

“There is still a lot of hard work that we as a country need to do. They can’t look to any one individual, whether it’s Barack or it’s the next new hope that’s going to appear to be that savior. And I would just hate for people to sort of see this potential and think: Oh, now I can rest easy because Barack Obama is going to fix things. It doesn’t work that way.”
--Michelle Obama

1. It is genocide.

But a certain amount of americans have always been expendable when it comes to health care. The object is not to open access to health care to everyone, it is to get back to that number of uninsured that has always been acceptable in our society while still ensuring massive profits for ins. companies. It's a delicate balance.

50 million uninsured is too big a number to legitimize. 10-20 million- not so much, that number was certainly acceptable in the 70's and 80's when the vast majority of the middle class still had ins. through work.

The same expendable folks who have gone without for decades will go without in any reform that falls short of single payer/universal care on the table today.

2. This is not a civilized country.

If we were, 100,000 deaths per year due to lack of healthcare would be unacceptible.

Physicians for a National Health Plan have information on single-payer healthcare. Don't believe the rightwing pro-death lies.
