Healthcare????

A friend wrote me this short piece and asked me to pass it on as a statement of sorts; I found it too vague for such a complex issue so I wrote this short addendum.

First her statement…

No one should die because they cannot afford health care, and no one should go broke because they get sick. It's really simple to put people before profits. Healthcare is a basic human right.

My addittion....

I agree, but it must be clear that if the "heathcare" being offered is what is now considered "care" under law (so-called standard of care) then I want no part of it, nor would I want my tax dollars going towards any social program which offers it.

I think the issue that is getting all the attention is payment and not mode. What good is an overpriced, ineffective, drug based system? None at all... and I would rather leave the US than participate...

I've watched my father, mother, brother, X wife, and if me, would have allowed, die from such "care." ...

Please people wake up!!!!
