Medical Zingers

Medical Zinger One
What makes socialized medicine so terrible?
It is terrible for the insurance companies who deny applicants access and reap huge profits in the doing.
It is terrible for the HMOs who keep profits high by denying treatment to members.
It is terrible for the drug companies who charge outrageous prices for their pills.
It is terrible for doctors and hospitals who would see their profits reduced from disgustingly wealthy to merely wealthy.
It is especially terrible for politicians who would no longer rake in big medical bucks for their reelection campaigns.
For the participants—us—nothing about socialized medicine is terrible.

Hillary Clinton’s Health Plan is flawed.
No national health plan, or socialized medicine as detractors like to call it, will work as long as businesses functioning with the free market mentality—dog eat dog—control it.
Their---the insurance companies, the HMOs, drug companies—goal is not helping humanity, but satisfying their greed.
Why would anyone who has dealt with these profit mongers want the same people who in the past have denied insurance coverage for fear of a medical care payment; who searched for ways to deny needed treatment to a sick patient, rather than to search for a way to offer it; who currently make outrageous profits off the Medicare Drug Program while lobbying congress to make it illegal for the needy to buy cheaper drugs in Canada?
The answer is we do not need these people who have systematically bled us for decades.
Close down the medical insurance operations; send the marauders to the auto, home and disaster divisions; incorporate the HMOs, the drug companies and the medical professionals into a government controlled system.

The medical care providers keep driving up their costs year after year; currently it rises three times more per year than inflation. The total yearly cost of medical care in the U.S. may be close to one trillion dollars. It is time to tear down their temple and melt the golden calf. Why? Because, in this temple there is only one god, and the medical profession and their acolytes hold the key. Even our government with its alleged incompetence could operate with less than a trillion dollars by controlling medical providers and their fellow sharks with a nationalized health care system.
