It's not about health-care - it's about deceit, greed, unpatriotism, and unsympathy.

It's not about health-care - it's about deceit, greed, unpatriotism, and unsympathy.
They know they are from the dark side. They know they are lying when they say we have the best health care in the world. Even if it were so, there is so much room for improvement. It's a matter of deceit.

They say we can't afford it. Wars and military adventures, no problem. That is to protect our nation, they say. And what is our nation if not our people? Let's make sure our own people are strong and healthy, with the best health care in the world, instead of pretending to worry about the cost? That is nothing but greed.

If we truly care about our country, we have to take care of our people as the first priority. It is OK to love your flag but the flag is nothing without our people behind it. To help take care of our people is the patriotic thing to do. To ignore or to disregard the needs of our people, such as jobs and health care, is unpatriotic.

Caring about our fellow man and sympathy towards others is not just a liberal idea - it is an American idea. To be deceitful, greedy, unpatriotic, and unsympathetic is not what anyone wants our country to be. We can do better than that.

3. Health care has no cure for deceit, greed, unpatriotic and unsympathetic behavior.
Without a cure there will be no health care. Greed mongers trump all.

4. K&R. Years ago Jerry Brown said
At a small gathering in the home of an artist in the Angeles National Forest way back in 1992, the great Jerry Brown commented, "It's funny, they can never find money for children, for schools, for healthcare, but they can find billions for a war in no time at all."

K&R this thread.
