bumper sticker

I just saw this bumper sticker about an hour ago and I had to do a double take. I couldn’t believe how idiotic it sounded.

Does the right wing seriously believe health care is MORE expensive under the European/Single Payer system??

There’s a reason why every single person is covered under their system – even foreigners, tourists, and the like. Because everyone pays into the system, via taxes.

It’s not free – but it sure isn’t more expensive than our system, which will wipe you out within a matter of weeks or months, the moment you start receiving your bills. And that’s if you’re lucky enough to avoid getting canceled by your carrier.

I wonder what their bumper stickers would say if we didn’t have VA Medical Care, Social Security or Unemployment Insurance?

I finally saw Micheal Moore’s Capitalism: A Love Story documentary on Pay-Per-View last night – especially shocked by dead peasants insurance policies.

I can’t find the words to describe how disgusted and shocked I was to learn about such a disgusting scam. My God. There is a special place in hell for the corporations who practice this.

I’m still trying to process it all. Such an incredible flick.

Makes you wonder if Massey Energy had dead peasant life insurance policies. It would certainly explain why they cared so little for safety and human life.

See if your employer has such a policy. Your boss would much rather have you die, soon, so they can collect on the secret insurance policy they out on you.

Sounds crazy – but it’s all true.

There is no flag big enough to cover up the shame of killing millions of innocent people.
