So today at work i had the pleasure of hearing people( all white btw) rant about the recently passed health bill. Now it's one thing to be opposed to something and state your reasons why, but these people were pulling the most rancid bullshit out of their asses. It started off with "oh this is gonna be so much money and the government can't run any kind of program before it gets out of control" which has some truth to it, however i think for the sake of being a compassionate and caring human being; you'd want affordable health care for your fellow Americans. But they all were talking about the cost of this bill ( which they kept referring to as universal healthcare *eye roll*) as if there aren't thousands of people who die every year from not being insured, as if the insurance companies don't suck money from people, as if a shit load of money isn't being pumped into a senseless war.
On top of all that inconsiderate shit, they had the nerve to talk about how if the bill got passed it would make hospital waits longer, people would get shitty health care coverage and there would be no money for doctors to make. Newsflash! It is already like that. I sat in the emergency room for an hour and while my head was bleeding from a dog bite. and once i was seen i had a nice fifty dollar emergency charge to pay. I had a obgyn lecture me on my "Overly active sex life" after telling him how many sex partners i've had. All of this happened under this wonderful model of current health care. This is all bullshit!
Some how through through this shit fest they went on about how fucked other countries medical schools are, how students come from all around the world to learn at our schools and go back to their country. They also went on about doctors in other countries not being able to make enough money. And there they went back to money. It's all about money to these people. It really bothers me when people talk about issues that ALL people should have. There was no acknowledgment about poor people who have the right just like them to have affordable health care, poor people don't exist in their world. This Shit just makes me sick....
