It is no wonder that in a capitalist society -that can't put
PEOPLE above profits - car insurance is mandatory but health insurance
for workers - who own a LIVING machine far more complex than a car, far
more expensive to repair when damaged than car - HEALTH INSURANCE is
not mandatory. You don't dare drive a car without car insurance. Likewise
we should not dare LOAN our human body -and our human mind ( subject to
mental illness ) - to economic exploiters.
When will this nation grasp the simple human truth that
health care is a just a HUMAN RIGHT for everybody - employed or
unemployed ?
Today I read a TRIVIAL news story revealing that the 40 million
Americans without health insurance do not just walk into hospitals when
they need medical attention. They usually wait for a disaster to happen !
It seems that the uninsured are treated -more often than not-
as NON-PERSONS by the health care industry. Here RACE , GENDER, NATIONALITY,
SEXUAL ORIENTATION - are irrelevant. What matters is INSURANCE !
I say that nothing should be more politically correct that a
national health care plan for ALL Americans - and even for human beings
right off the boat !
