Health care

I generally do not care about the healthcare debate. I care less about the whimpering between republicrats and their brothers in arms, the democlans. This healthcare debate, with the insane white people loudly protesting their right to look stupid in public, should end in a few weeks when congress returns from their vacation and hopefully the democratic majority grows some balls.

Ouch.

The truth is this, Americans knew what they were getting into when they voted in democratic majorities in both houses and the White House. What the Dems seem to have forgotten is that the people were right for a change, voting for change. The majority of Americans who have ever stubbed a toe knows that our healthcare system is so screwed up it may as well be run by Jon and Kate and the 8 saplings they somehow created.

Change we can believe in? I got that right here. Quit trying to work with the republicans, time and again where the democrats are concerned, they have proven to be the enemy. These republicans are not patriots, but instead, they are corporate shills with no morals, ethics and backbone, a lot like the typical democrat at this point. The difference? Democrats control the process. I say, forget about debating these weasels, just do single payer today, and let the chips fall where the will.

See, here is how memory works. I voted last November, buy already, I have no clue who I voted for or why I voted. What I wanted then is different that what I want now. In a year and a half when the elections roll around again, I will vote again for my special interests, which amount to beer and sex.

So, if you want to get this healthcare thing done, do the big move. Single payer, screw you republicans. Some people will be up in arms, most will not and in two years, when people go to the polls, people will either support your brilliance, or toss you out of office for bankrupting our country. But guess what? That fact will not be much different if you diddle around and do nothing much. People will hate you for having both houses and trying to appease the insane republicans. People will not respect you as leaders if you do not lead. People will vote you out of office if you basically did nothing. So, you could be screwed either way, but in the end, 10 years from now, people will be going to doctors and not worrying about whether that headache that has been bothering them is stress from work, or a tumor, because either way, it's covered.

So, if you are an elected member of either house, ask yourself this, do you want to go down in history as someone who wore cheap suits, had a fake tan and tried to negotiate with republican terrorists, or do you want to be a leader who made a touch, but smart, decision that will better this country over many decades? That is not such a tough choice, make it, vote and run to the nearest tanning salon.
