Health benefits for the healthy

Eights weeks after his wife was diagnosed with cancer,

    she lost her health insurance. Richard Addison - age 60 - himself

    living on $700 from  social security - is pictured wiping a tear

    from his eye ( page A6 , Pawtucket Times - Oct. 27 ) .

               Now there is already a $40,000 medical bill from

    Memorial Hospital.

               Al Gore does not have much to say anymore about

    " grandiose " national health care plans. Woopie for 8 years

    of Clinton-Gore prosperity ! Woopie for GOOD TIMES !

               Poverty activist , Henry Shelton, faces the truth :

    the have nots of the world -so much more numerous than the haves -

    must unite .  Yes, forget about the phony liberals. Maybe

    Patrick Kennedy will send Addison and his sick wife a sympathy

    card.

                 Isn't this system just wonderful : Health Insurance

    for the Healthy !

              And don't think that " compassionate conservatives " -like

    George W. Bush - lose sleep at night  trying to solve the health

    care problems of the poor .

                 Just a sigh and a " Let us pray ! "


            I know of one mentally ill man who also lost his health

    insurance not long after the crackpot.  Now he pays even more

    for his lithium - out of his own pocket, while working only

    3 days per week.


                 Woopie for our prosperity ! Greed and selfishness

    forever ! That's God's Way !
