Health Care

The availability and affordability of health insurance should be a basic human right in this country, but it is not.

       In our dog eat dog society, health care is viewed as a commodity to be traded for as much money as you can possibly squeeze out of someone. Our doctors in America are not healers anymore, they go to medical school to graduate as doctors and then make as much money as they possibly can. Our health, and our very lives are being ransomed. The drugs and medical procedures that  really cost hundreds, are being billed in the tens of thousands, and God help you if you don't have health insurance. If you don't have the money, the medical business will gladly and cheerfully turn you away, and leave you on the side of the road to die in the ditch.
       Affordable health insurance that we are lucky to get  at all is usually tied to employment. If you don't have a job though, or if you are self employed you really are SOL. The guaranteed insurance that would cost anywhere from 40-60 a month at a job would cost 300 to 2000 a month on your own. If you could get it at all, the insurance companies will reject you out right if they think there is any chance that you will use it.
       Why is affordable health insurance tied to employment ???? Control. The ones in power want to have a compliant , dependable workforce, a lot of people in the United States work solely for health insurance, it is that important. More people would strike out on their own, with new businesses, if they knew they could afford health insurance.

        Lets rise up and demand that health insurance be decoupled from employment.

        Make health insurance guaranteed, and affordable, to everyone who wants it based on a percentage of  their income.   

        Health Insurance shouldn't be mandatory, but those who refuse to get health insurance should have to pay for all of their health care costs,  the public should not have to pay for the irresponsible.

        If insurance companies had to really compete for our health care dollars, the cost of health insurance would drop to a reasonable level overnight.
