Bad Bill, cont.

So Joe Lieberman has decided that the Medicare buy-in that he was proposing in September is no longer allowed to be in the Senate bill.

What is still in the bill is a provision to force Americans to buy health insurance.

Soooo.. the bill essentially forces people to buy health insurance.. thus benefiting the health insurance companies. I don't even want to check their stock prices today.

Reminder.. Joe Lieberman was the Vice Presidential candidate for the Democratic party in 2000. He is now a bitter old man, that is going to die alone and despised if there's any justice in this world. I'd settle for just the despised part.

There is a bill on the floor of the Senate that would allow the importation of pharmaceuticals. This would reduce the cost of drugs for all Americans. The Republicans do not want Americans to have a chance to pay less for prescription drugs.

As a reminder.. to all Americans.. you can buy generic drugs from India for pennies on the dollar. It's not technically legal. Fuck the drug companies and fuck those assholes that are working to destroy the middle class in America.

What the United States government is doing is further fucking the people that vote for them. Fuck Barack Obama.. no money.. no votes.. hope he loses in 2012. He's a spineless coward.

And fuck those stupid fuckers in Connecticut who voted for Lieberman in the last election. I hope you fuckers go bankrupt without the medical coverage you could have had with a good bill.

....

By the way.. the bill has a provision in it that would prevent insurance from being denied for pre-existing condition. A loop-hole that the insurance lobby had inserted in the bill is that they can charge you whatever they want for coverage due to pre-existing conditions. That can be done even with employer provided insurance. They can jack your rates up to such a point that you simply cannot afford to have insurance.

Truly, what we're seeing in D.C. right now is a give-away to the health insurance companies. This is making the situation worse for Americans, not better. That is why we cannot support Obama in any way, regardless, because all the campaign rhetoric was simply lies. He's an even better liar than Bill Clinton.

At least with George Bush, he wasn't really trying that hard when he lied, and he was able to get pretty much anything he wanted.

Really, the only way any of this can be resolved is doing it on a state level. A state can quite literally impose their own single-payer system on the state, and kick the insurance companies out. We know that won't happen in a state like my state of Texas. I really don't care. I don't mind leaving the Loon Brigade to twist in the winds of their own stupidity.

I'm still a big advocate of ideological segregation.
