Another FaceBook comment I made about healthcare

Alan L. Maki

Here is the thing... they had to put a few things in this legislation that offer a few things to a few people in order to further divide the movement for real healthcare reform and now these few people who will benefit are running around, "pass it, pass it" without any consideration at all for most of us who will suffer the consequences of the insurance companies, the hospitals, the greedy, money-grubbing doctors and the pharmaceutical companies gorging themselves courtesy of this most regressive and reactionary piece of pro-corporate legislation intentionally designed for the benefit of Wall Street coupon clippers.
We see small groups of people clamoring, "Pass this legislation because it will help ME."


Me, me, me... is what this entire rotten and thoroughly corrupt system thrives on.


What will benefit all of US?


Do these "Me, me, me" people ever stop to think what would benefit all of US?
Socialized healthcare would provide everyone free healthcare based upon their healthcare needs--- everyone, even the filthy rich who bemoan anything "socialized;" yet, who are always pushing and shoving their way to the front of the line to get the benefits when they are there.


To even bother or attempt to debate whether this or that portion of the legislation will "work" or not work creates a trap in itself for the movement for real healthcare reform.


The fact of the matter is such that those who are screaming the loudest to support this legislation will in the end turn up crying the loudest when they find out how they have been sucked in.


Let me just remind everyone that when Medicare was passed... many people at that time had been pushing for it to cover everyone... and then we had the exact same forces in the labor movement--- different names, same backwards ideas--- saying that, "This is the first step; in a few years everyone will be covered;" and they dragged out all those who would benefit to say, "Pass it, pass it, this is going to help ME." The "me, me, me" crowd not once looked back to care about US.


There is an "art of compromise" and a time and place for compromise--- when it comes to healthcare there is no room for compromise because the right to healthcare is a basic and fundamental human right--- anything less than socialized healthcare is a denial of human rights--- Dennis Kucinich thought he could escape this basic fact by starting to call healthcare a "civil right;" which he has been good at compromising over--- he turned his back on the civil rights of others and figures he can get away with turning his back on a civil right easier than a human right.


As for John Conyers he is just a plain old corrupt crook and it makes me sick to see the "progressives for Obama" defending him after he took corporate bribes in return for being part of criminal corporate wrong-doing.

Al Capone and Meyer Lansky could only have dreamed about owning these kinds of politicians backing their rackets.
