Houston: The Health System has now Reached the Point of Total Failure, Over and Out

This was in response to this article, which was more or less a news story about how key non-right Democrats who had spoken in favor of a single payer health care system were folding their tents and giving up on true reform so that they could obediently fall in line behind their party leaders, like good little boys and girls.

The abomination that the Democrats are ramming through, in a just world, will lead to their just end as a political party within 30 years, to be replaced (in my preference) by the New Democratic Party, which will genuinely be for the common people, and will get a single payer system up and running very quickly, with the speed of enactment reflecting the need to rescue the country from health care system failure AND economic devastation.

You can not possibly get your money's worth by buying American health insurance and then paying deductibles, co pays, and prescription costs if and when you get actual health care. This is already overwhelmingly true and will be even more and more "extremely true" in each and every year ahead for the foreseeable future. The Democrat's bill will provide very few cost controls, so the hell that is the American health care system will only deepen in the years ahead.

If to the present you have arranged, through your own conscious efforts, your health, your health care participation, and your finances in opposition to the grossly overpriced health insurance, and when this bill passes you now succumb to the dictates of the traitorous, disgusting, and useless to say the least Democrats, you will very likely be economically defeated by the fat cats in that party and in the massive health insurance companies. You will most likely lose out economically. You will be fleeced. You will be played like a violin.

True, you might possibly get some health care if you become a slave to the insurance fat cats and write them very large checks often and on time, but you will be financially and economically devastated, or at least heavily damaged. Your health insurance company may or may not stand with you should you really need real assistance; that depends on specific circumstances.

If you are by nature a more gentle, compliant soul and you feel you have to bow down to the politicians and the health insurance moguls, then you will write those checks and not worry about the financial wreckage you are causing yourself, which of course could easily lead to your bankruptcy and could possibly lead to your homelessness. which would devastate your health regardless of any insurance you have.

But I respect you if you will not fight being a slave to the multimillionaire health insurance executives and their death dealing, incompetent employees in their claims denial departments. The fight against greed and tyranny is always optional; it's always for those of strong beliefs.

In fact, there is no real right thing to do once this pathetic excuse for legislation passes. The American system has now failed to the point where every course of action that a common citizen can take with respect to health care will actually do more harm than good overall, if a complete and total accounting of every factor is done. In other words, the system has reached the point of Total Failure, the point where almost everyone is losing almost all of the time.

Until real rescue comes to us, I wish everyone all the best as they confront the deepening devastation of what was once a promising country.
