Health Care in USA

Health Insurance is a pretty penny in USA
Oft tied to jobs which deduct x amount from paychecks
so that you're 'covered'
say one.. falls from a tree, hits ground - 'snap' - Yyouch! Knee!
concerned bystander calls 911 - ambulance suddenly shows - zooms injured person to hospital -
do you have 'Blue Cross Blue shield' - better hope so!
say it's some curious kid - who's parents don't have health insurance - who scrape by to pay rent and put food on table -
Whatev! time to PAY THROUGH NOSE!!!
Ah - and how about Bobby's cast - SHELL OVER THE DOUGH!!!
ah - and physical therapy - wh-what's that? - you have to pay rent? - TUFF BEANS -
COUGH UP!!!!!!

yes, reality is you and I (my American myspacey friends reading this) live in such a system

and we let it go on

powers that be collecting their paychecks

While places like Canada, Britain, France - even Cuba and India - have systems where the government pays for health care

CAN YOU IMAGINE walking into a hospital and being treated and not being anxious about an astronomical bill


I tip hat to these nations - whilst inserting a feather into theirs, respectively

for treating their citizens so well

in London they totally look out for pregnant mothers - allowing Ample time away from work

in France (where they enjoy a 35 hour work week) they get like 5 weeks PAID HOLIDAY - imagine the travels possible over the years - we're talking serious branching to exotic lands and beyond!

meanwhile think of all the work-a-day folk out in some place like Kentucky who the farthest they got in 40 years is like Jacksonville FLA because they're ball-and-chained to the factory that gives them their health insurance

Wake Up My Freedom Loving Friends!

As Mel Gibson yells in that movie: "FREEEEEDOOOOM!!!"

Let's Stand up and better the Health Care system

is it any wonder the STANDARD OF LIVING is so much HIGHER in Europe

is it any wonder Brits and the French LIVE LONGER

FREEDOMLOVERS UNITE!
