What a growing percentage of the population are beginning to realize is that neither party has anyone's interest in mind but themselves.
No doubt, and it will take some time to detach all the leeches from our GDP, but it must be done.
This has to be a national priority, even Bobby Vishnu Jindal gets that, of course being Governor of Louisiana it's probably hard not to notice.
Our privateer health insurance model is neither obliged nor required to provide universal insurace. Those without insurance ultimately find care in a colorful quilt of city, county, state, religious, charitable, and Federal operators and funding mechanisms.
None of which provide sufficient continuum and continuity of care to sustain healthier outcomes.
Often times disease which can be treated medically such as addiction become one of two million Americans incarcerated by the criminal justice system, where costs are amplified. Rather than simply pay for the medical treatment, we pay for police, judges, lawyers, and prisons. And the prisoner receives taxpayer-funded health care. Paying for care up front would be cheaper.
Do you really think the Founders envisioned an America where prisoners were treated better than citizens?
Really?
I understand it's not a (pre-Mudd) crime to tend to the wounds of the tarred and feathered, but it's certainly not constitutionally mandated that we cannot provide health care to whoever the hell we want to. Have you even read this document? Indians are a natural resource!
But if you want to have it your way, fine. Have it your way, America is your Burger King, where prisoners have a right to free (no out of pocket cost to them) health care and you do not. Enjoy your stay.
While in prison, taxpayers will pay for your health care. But not for their own. They are reluctant to pay for undesirable low-lifes who ought to be in prison but aren't yet.
Just pave the road and be done with it. "The Governemnt can't do anything right!" you ain't been around. I drove Fresh Gubmint Assphalt half the states in this country. It was smooth as glass and blacker than our President!
