The Force is With Me
Exactly, because the Democratic Party is controlled from the right. It only drifts to the left during elections.
I've pretty much given up on any kind of good public option. It's a shame because people will die. I have excellent health insurance. It's so good that I do not need referrals, for anything. My co-pay for one of the top gynecological oncologists on LI was 10 bucks. My copay for prescriptions is ten bucks. And I'm not going to lose this insurance. This is no skin off my personal nose. People sometimes seem to think that it is.
There's a part of me that sometimes feels dark things, like, you know what, f it. Some Republican asshole's insurance will drop them when they get cancer, or they'll lose their insurance, and then their homes, and maybe die to boot. Maybe a lot of Republican assholes will have that happen. Oh, it won't happen to the elected Republicans these fools follow, but it'll happen. Maybe it'll happen to someone on this board whining and crying now about "the govt takeover".
But I hate to see anyone suffer, even selfish fools. I get more spiritual as I get older, and I feel, there's going to be a reckoning for everyone and everything and I can't say if it comes to everyone in this life, but it comes. I do donate money to Blue America specifically for ads they run against blue dogs and R's on health care. And I'll keep doing that. And I'll keep sitting here with my great health insurance which is better than 90% of the unelected people who are against this (except for the real bastards who are on the dole via Medicare and are all about I got mine too bad about you, ahem, I know that will ring some bells with certain 30 year olds in their 60's) and I'll just shake my head.
It'll all shake out someday. It's not on my conscience. We lost our chance back in the day when all of the other industrialized nations got theirs (and for people who think it sucks, explain why no politician in any of these countries would ever dismantle single-payer becaUse they'd have their heads cut off by The People), and we lost that chance because of racism. The South didn't want to integrate their hospitals. Eventually insurance companies and big pharma got so big that there's no beating them. And that's the way it is...for this generation.
But for those celebrating, you're celebrating death. Wouldn't it be ironic if it turned out to be your own?
