Tony Snow in his latest incarnation of conservative apologist as White House press secretary brought himself to tears in honor of the ineffectual, discriminatory and third world health care system in the U. S.. Of course, he received the best available medicine in his fight against cancer. Of course, he is grateful for the skued to the rich health care system that saved his life- early detection, prompt treatment and all that.
That scenario just isn't in the cards for the vast majority of the rest of us- underinsured or just not insured at all!
What is with this new class of conservative elitists?:
1. They just don't give a damn. We've got ours, the rest of you go to hell.
2. Their corporate sponsors and powerful Washington lobbyists (insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies and the like) don't want true health care reform. They get 25% of cost for administration of the system as it is. Compare this to the government programs like Medicare and Medicaid that charge for administration maybe up to 2 %!. Profits, profits, profits. . .
3. It would take true vision and a dramatic change of course to change the system. This repug administration and congress is just not willing or capable of doing this.
Thus, we are stuck in the middle again, which is nowhere. American government under repug domination won't do the right thing and put 'family values' first!
The Democratic Party will- with all it's faults. VOTE Democratic this political season!
