From the people who brought you the Post Office and Amtrak, here comes Health Care!! Good luck with that….

just came across the site again after a long absence……….

guess i just have to ask the commentor: Jfoster what is wrong with
the post office? doesn’t it work like its spose to? and amtrak,
aren’t the trains running where you live? if not properly funded no organization can sustain
its mission, or fund development and future growth. I can only imagine
what our country’s post office, amtrak, roads, health care (medicare and
va and federal government) would look like if we hadn’t had an arms race
with russia, a war in vietnam, and mess in the middle east. i find it amusing that other
smaller countries can take much better care of its citizens then we can.
i believe its called priorities. and it seems our priority is to be war profiteers, protect
rich people and their money and everyone else is just on their own. we have always had this boot strap fantasy
that never existed. and it certainly isn’t remotely connected to “morality”
in any way. like i always say: we have the best government money can buy.

Another possibility is a dramatic downturn in the ability to get medicine than standard people experience these days if there is a large-scale collapse of the economy.

This is what Dmitry Orlov says in ‘Thriving in the Age of Collapse’ about medicine in a collapsed economy. His opinion comes from visits to Russia and witnessing the collapse of the economic system after the Soviet Union was replaced by Capitalism:

“Medicine
“If you have or foresee significant ongoing medical needs, staying in
the United States will pose a unique set of problems; you might even
consider seeking refuge in one of the many countries that provide free
basic and emergency medical care to their entire population. The
United States is a very special case in having made basic medicine
into a profit-making industry rather than a social service. The
medical system here has become a parasite, bloated and ineffectual.
The doctors are saddled with unreasonable regulations and financial
liabilities.

When it comes to medicine, almost any country in the world will be
better than one that is full-up with unemployed medical specialists,
insurance consultants, and medical billing experts. In Belize, which
is quite a poor country, I received prompt and excellent free
emergency medical care from a Cuban medic. In the U.S., in similar
circumstances, I had to wait 8 hours at an emergency room, then was
seen for five minutes by a sleep-deprived intern who scribbled out a
prescription for something that is available without a prescription
almost everywhere else in the world. Then there ensued a paper battle
between the hospital and the insurance company, lasting for many
months, over whether the hospital could charge for a doctor’s visit on
top of the emergency room visit. Apparently, in U.S. emergency rooms,
doctors are optional.”

President Obama’s current plans of medical ‘reform’ are the same kind of old swindles in favor of the Insurance companies. Even today in the Russian Federation people demand a higher standard of subsidies concerning medical services than people do in the reactionary United States.

What a write!! Very informative and easy to understand. Looking for more such writeups!! Do you have a twitter or a facebook?
