Health Care Passes Vote

Well here's My take on the health care debate.

Universal health care can probably be a good thing. Other countries have been doing it for years and have had great success. The problem lies with our government and the incredible success rate they have of fucking things up. We have such massive bureaucracy in every damn thing that it takes 2 years to swim through all the bullshit just to get something completed, and by that time, it's usually too late. If you don't believe Me, go "Google" new world trade center and take a look at the tower that's there to replace the old ones. That's right, 8 1/2 years later and there STILL isn't one built! That's not the United States I remember!!! The United States I remember would have built a new tower in 6 months after the bombing as a message of 'FUCK YOU' to the terrorists. But 8 1/2 years later, it's still in bullshit land with all the politicians. Nice work people.

Not to mention the core principles of health care. It really doesn't make sense that companies should profit on other peoples sickness. That alone just doesn't make much sense. So we got the American fat diet getting rich off us selling shit food, then we got the medical companies getting rich selling us pills because of the many consequences of eating the American diet. Hmmmmmm. But, bottom line .. people have to be stupid enough to eat crap on a daily basis to begin with. No one has a gun to anyone's head saying "HERE, eat this triple cheeseburger with bacon."

Or the fact that this country is a wee bit broke. I can understand Obama wanting to take on a major project while He's president, but under the circumstances I think if He just balanced the budget He would be a national hero. We sure as hell don't need any new projects to undergo during this time of massive deficits. If I were Him, I would have made a public speech that said, "I HAD a dream of national health care, but considering the reality of where this country is sitting financially, the plans have unfortunately changed and I must focus on getting rid of the massive debt snowball we are living in .. end of story!" But He's got his ego to fill, so here comes more spending on the way. I know, I know ... it's gonna SAVE money. BULLSHIT!!!! When has the government ever done something to save money?? They are the least financially responsible structure in the history of EVER!!!

Maybe I'm wrong about this outlook .. hell, I HOPE I am! But going by the track record of the results in the past, it seems unlikely.

And on a final note, I am very disappointed in Myself. I used to not care about world happenings. I never cared about what's 'in the news', and now I find Myself looking at news stories once again. It is on the internet, and not on TV, so I must give Myself some credit. I still won't turn on the boob-tube to this day. I admit, this gets worse in the winter months since it's usually minus 20 degrees outside, but that's still no excuse. There was a time not long ago that nuclear missiles could have been flying around the world, but as long as they didn't land on My property, I didn't give a shit. I guess being retired and living in frozen tundra land does have it's disadvantages as I will always find something to keep the mind busy. It's just that caring about what the rest of the world is doing is a terrible choice as people are idiots. I long for the days when all I care about is a little patch of land called the "State Of Les" again.

The true health care costs.

You know what one of the biggest cost of our health care is today? Americans are fat and eat crap! I should know, I'm one of them! Seriously, we eat total garbage, but I'll save that for another day.

You know what another HUGE factor is. Old people! Yes, old people. The people who are on their last leg suck up and enormous amount of health care costs. You know what I say? "Pull the damn plug already!!!" Yes that's right ... let 'em go!! It's just a matter of time before they will be gone anyway, why the hell should we be paying for some 90 year old to sit in a wheelchair for another 6 months who can't talk anymore, doesn't know who they are, and shits them self? It don't make much sense to Me!

It's estimated that 50% of all health care will be spent on medicare for old people. Holy crap! 50% of our health care cost will go towards the people who are of no real use anymore! That sounds stupid to Me!

Now don't get Me wrong, I'm not saying we should go out and start axing every person over 65. I'm just saying that if certain elderly people ARE NOT, and CAN NOT, sustain a descent life, then why the hell are we spending so much money keeping them alive. I'm talking about the people who can't even get out of bed anymore, and don't know what year it is, or who the hell they are anymore, and have to be fed, and showered, and have their diapers changed. What is the point to this? It costs a tremendous amount of money keeping this person alive and there is no light at the end of the tunnel. It's not like they are going to snap out of it and become a fully functioning person anytime. They're dying!! It's a perfectly normal thing that happens at the end of one's life ... let them go!

I say if you one of those people who wants to keep your grandmother alive for another year in a nursing home just so you can go visit Her once a week and have a totally one side conversation because she doesn't even know you were there, then SHUT THE HELL UP when it comes to the cost of health care! YOUR the one causing it!!!

And I'm not just yapping My jaw here. I'm willing to step up to the plate too!! If I have an elderly relative who has no chance of living a productive life, I'll be the first one to say "Pull the damn plug already!!" And if I get to a spot in life where I don't know who the hell I am and I shit Myself and giggle while drool is dripping down My chin, then PULL THE DAMN PLUG on Me!! You think I wanna be here if I'm like that??? HELL NO!!! I don't care if I'm only 45 years old, if I'm that bad off ...... kiss my ass goodbye!! Deep inside I'll be cheering that I'm cutting your health care costs AND reducing the exploding population count!! You see ... it's a win-win situation.

So next time you visit your elderly parents or grandparents and they have that drop of snot hanging from the end of their nose that they don't notice, or they're farting all the time and don't realize it. Do the right thing and walk up and put your arm around them and look them in the eyes and ask, "Do you really think you need to be alive anymore?"
