this modern world

health care is a very important issue that affects us all. and health care reform is something that will benefit us all. so, it’s sad when an issue like this gets fringe groups to come out and give the illusion that there’s even a debate.

this is just like tax cuts for the rich. amazingly, fox news and the republicans know how to motivate their party, and it ends up being that the people who benefit the least from tax cuts end up doing all the foot work for the ones that benefit the most (the rich).

in the health care debate, it’s the same story. lower and middle class folk are out there, spewing crazy talk, in order to protect a system that only benefits the insurance company ceos. i know, in my heart of hearts, that most of the people in those rallies would greatly benefit from free health care.

imagine being able to go to any clinic/hospital/doctor that you choose, getting the care that you need, and not having to pay a cent. it works in many countries. i know people who have gotten free care in the uk and in japan. universal healthcare is real and it works in a lot of countries. i wish we had it here in the us.

i’m not sure what’s more funny. glenn beck being moved to tears, thinking about how much he loves his country. glenn beck pretending to be moved to tears, thinking about how much he loves his country. or his co-worker mocking him. hahah.
