Ok, enough of this crap! Bring on the socialism.

I wasn’t going to write too much regarding the health care reform issue because I thought that eventually all the lies and mis-direction being tossed around by some republicans and their radical followers would eventually stop. Well, it hasn’t.
I’m going to do my best to break this down in a sort of language that some people that are still not on board with reform can understand. That language will be FRIGGIN PLAIN OLE ENGLISH.

At this point and time health care is being run by 3 entities: The insurance companies, the drug companies, and Wall Street. They really decide who gets insured, for what, how much it will cost, what medicines they can pawn off on you, the cost and allowable doses. Now who is really in a position to kill grandma?
The insurance companies can raise the premiums on an average of 37% a year, the drug companies can continue to raise the costs of medications and Wall Street can assist in the free for all by providing the insurance companies and drug companies a running daily tally of how richer they are becoming. If their stock goes down in any way, RAISE THE COSTS OF THE COVERAGE AND MEDICINE.
The drug companies and the insurance companies cannot call the shots regarding medicare. You know why? Because it’s goverment run. The goverment, if allowed to intervene in health care, could regulate the insurance companies and keep them honest. They can provide sanctions and penalties for any types of price gauging. They can keep tabs on how much drug companies are charging for necessary drugs that help people. There aren’t any “death panels” either. The article 1233 in the house reform provision just allows for people to have ‘advanced directives’. Active military personnel, as well as veterans like myself, all have that option. It just allows for you to have doctors or nurse practioners to discuss your wishes should you become terminally ill, comatose or outside of your faculties. This allows a scenario where your family and/or doctors don’t have to guess what your intentions or wishes would be.
This is not brain surgery. This is understood by more people than the republican lawmakers are revealing. This is becoming more of an issue to defy the “Black President” than it is to actually look out for your fellow mankind.
We should actually strive for more socialism. Medicare and SSI are examples of socialism. These are avenues to where not only the rich and decision makers are covered or helped. These systems work. Some people argue that it would drive out some insurance companies and screw up their current coverages. Not true! The President has stated about a thousand times that if you like your current coverage you can keep it. The fact that there would be competition wouldn’t ruin the fabric of health care facilities any more than UPS or Fed-Ex has ruined the post office. Which is a goverment run entity by the way. Why is this so hard to understand? There have been more than a couple of republican lawmakers that have voiced their hopes that President Obama fails at health care reform. Is this the type of world we want to live in? Where partisan gamesmanship is the order of the day rather than humanity?
Some republicans and radical conservatives are asking what’s the rush. Why the need to push this through?
It took our goverment 250 years to free the slaves, another 100 years to give us equality. How many years did it take before women were officially able to vote and be equals? The time is now people. We aleady have a history of waiting too long to equal the playing fields. Below I’m going to add the definition of socialism and why it actually needs to be a way of life in many areas.

Here’s a synopsis of “Socialism” folks. Take a look, then follow down at the end of this post.

Socialism refers to various theories of economic organization advocating state, worker or public ownership and administration of the means of production and allocation of resources, and a society characterized by equal access to resources for all individuals with an egalitarian method of compensation. Contrary to popular belief, Socialism is not a political system; it is an economic system distinct from capitalism.

Socialists mainly share the belief that capitalism unfairly concentrates power and wealth among a small segment of society that controls capital and derives its wealth through exploitation, creates an unequal society, does not provide equal opportunities for everyone to maximize their potentialities and does not utilize technology and resources to their maximum potential nor in the interests of the public. Therefore socialists advocate the creation of a society that allows for the widespread application of modern technology to rationalize economic activity by eliminating the anarchy in production of capitalism[4], allowing for wealth and power to be distributed based on the amount of work expended in production, although there is considerable disagreement among socialists over how and to what extent this could be achieved.

So please people, don’t let hatred or animosity be the reason. Health care should be available to all.The Veterans hospitals can really be the model to follow. We, as well as all of congress and the senate, are a part of a goverment run health plan. Are we contributing to socialism? You’re damn right! Put you and your family’s health care decisions back in the hands of the doctors and youself rather than Wall Street, Insurance companies or drug companies.
Don’t lie and sabotage something just out of spite, partisanship or racism. Do the right thing people. If happen to see, or are in any way close to one of those crazy gun totin hostility buckaroos, please calmly inform them of the truth.
I guess that’s all for now.
Good morning, good afternoon & in case I don’t see ya, GOODNIGHT!
