Universal Healthcare

[Jonathan Xenex]

*We have one of the worst healtcare systems in the world.
- Cuba has a better *ucking health care system than us, and they're partially stuck in the 50's still.

*The highest infant mortality rate.
- Most latin american countries have a better one of these.
Highest Obeseity.
- Stupidity, and the media.... dont get me started.

And so on and so on...

Universal care would obviously be the key way to going about this... but its just so impractical I just cant ever see it happening. Things will have to be so radically changed, so many noses are gonna have to be put out of joint, and somewhere along the line, someone rich who enjoys the wine and cheese and his personal leer is going to have to eat the cost...

It's just not gonna happen. We'll be paying for our insurance for a long long time... but all I have to say is that one way or the other, NOONE needs to be allowed to dictate who the hell dies, and who the hell lives any more, based on cost.

My aunt has stage 3 lung cancer, it costs them 16,500 and some odd change, for every chemo therapy treatment, every 4 weeks. They've already gone over the million dollar mark. Luckily her husband makes almost near 7 figures a year to pay for it, and they've been told by oncologists that if that wasnt so, she more than likely would have been dead a long time ago.

Its so wrong on so many levels, and it really needs to make us think as to where we're going, and what we're becoming as a people...
