Health Care Is Now at Top of Bush's Agenda
You have to laugh or else you'd cry. Nearly 50 million Americas are without medical insurance. The Republican party's answer is always the same...Let private enterprise take over. Which as we've seen with their other corporate welfare programs usually ends in utter disaster. So now the Republicans have a new spin...Americans are over insured. That's right, we have too much insurance is the problem. All those people who are going bankrupt trying to keep their families alive are over insured. The reality is that Republicans are looking for a way to move the American healthcare system to a system that allows them to let people die on the streets while continuing to provide the best coverage for the rich and powerful at fair prices. When a Republican says they want healthcare for Americans they mean healthcare for those that can afford it and the rest of the country can just die when they get sick. The Republican dream is to establish a distinct class barrier between the rich and the poor. It's all apart of their dream of establishing a third world theocracy in America. Of course the most ironic part of all this is that it was the radical Anti-America Republicans that stopped any efforts to solve this problem a decade ago because they claimed that "market" forces would work the system out. And yet we see yet again that they were dead wrong. Not surprising because now it's a problem because campaign contributors in the business community that helped block efforts in the 90's are now worried about rising costs. It's interesting that when Democrats were saying that something needed to be done, there was no problem. But when business leaders are going bankrupt because nothing has been done, suddenly an issue that needs to be looked at. Republicans are always a day late and dollar short. If they could get past their hate of this country and start working on the problems when they became obvious we would all be better off.
