"What really irks me is that one guy on the Right walked into the pet store and uttered the word "Socialism," and it set off every goddamned parrot in the building."
Let's privatize the fire department too while we're at it. Morons.
I have one contention with the plan. So far I've heard of nothing that prevents private employers from cutting corporate health insurance to save the millions of annaul dollars once workers are able to get public health care, which would put a far greater strain on the economy.
Also, I don't think people should be excluded from public health care as long as their employers offer health insurance. For example, the girl I'm seeing now, the health care her company offers costs roughly $250 a month. She makes roughly $400 to $600 a month. How is that affordable?
Many states are already offering Socialist public health care for every child under eighteen, and that seems to be working out fine. Millions of people in Europe aren't dying for lack of proper medical care.
November is coming up. We could put it to a public vote. I bet there are far more poor and sick people out there than there are wealthy morons, and if people feel this strongly about it, the voter turnout would dwarf the last Presidential elections.
