I THINK THE SYSTEM IN THE USA IS A JOKE AND A LIE BUT I AM SENDING THIS LETTER ANYWAY. AND I KNOW I SOUND LIKE A CHILD AND THAT IS BECAUSE I AM NOT GROWN UP YET. THAT IS TRUE. I HAVE A GOOD BRAIN THOUGH. I AM JUST VERY EMOTIONAL LIKE A CHILD STILL AT THE RIPE AGE OF 41! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. i just sent this letter the white house and - U.S. Senators Patty Murray & Maria Cantwell & Congressman Jim McDermott i want single payer national healthcare NOW like they have in the uk. Brits spend only 8.4% of GDP on healthcare, compared to the 16% of GDP spent by Americans... See More profit making insurance companies need to be stopped. they have nothing to do with healthcare and medicine. they are just making money and stealing from people. i am thinking of RENOUNCING my american citizenship because of this and moving to a civilized more humane country with single payer healthcare. all my tax dollars to go WAR and WALLSTREET and BANKS. i want my taxes to pay for trains and socialized healthcare for every american citizen young and old, sick and healthy from birth until death. the "reform" is a joke. i am so angry and scared and sad and ashamed to live in a country that wastes money and does not take care of the people here in the usa. this article written by an american woman with children explains very clearly how much better the NHS system in the uk is as compared with our broken system here in the usa. http://potentialandexpectations.wordpress.com/2009/08/13/this-americans-experience-of-britains-healthcare-system/i hope someone actually reads this, thanks, shannon kringen low income artist in seattle, wa http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact Current Mood:  angry |

Brits spend only 8.4% of GDP on healthcare, compared to the 16% of GDP spent by Americans
this is what i wish we had in the usa NOW
below from this blog written by an american who lived in britain for 15 years and knows both systems.
"Brits spend only 8.4% of GDP on healthcare, compared to the 16% of GDP spent by Americans"
Brits believe that healthcare is a human right and are happy to have a system that covers everyone, all the time. They are HORRIFIED when they hear stories of Americans who have to hold fundraisers to pay for desperately-needed operations. It blows their minds that anyone goes bankrupt or loses their home because of medical bills. The idea that someone would lose their coverage because of a pre-existing condition or because they are so sick they can’t work is totally alien to them. These things simply do not happen in Britain.
Because healthcare is not tied to employment, companies are free to focus on their core business and people are free to make career decisions (and life decisions) based on what is best for them instead of what preserves their healthcare. Brits never worry about keeping their healthcover — they never worry about pre-existing conditions; they never worry about continuity of care if they change jobs; they never get trapped into a bad-fit job because they have to keep their healthcover. They are much freer to be entreprenuers than Americans, because their only worry is whether their business will succeed, not how they’re going to provide healthcover for their families when they’re self-employed. Companies, particularly small companies, are free to focus on their core-business because they not burdened by the administration of healthcare for their employees — they never have to pay someone in HR to manage health benefits; they don’t have to juggle insurance companies and negotiate lower premiums; they don’t lose employees because their healthplan isn’t as good as some other company; they don’t see their bottom line rocked by a sudden rise in premiums. Decoupling healthcare from employment is hugely freeing to both individuals and employers, and can actually a very good thing for the economy at large.

VETO VETO VETO VETO
barack obama has the POWER TO VETO ANY BILL that doesn't contain a public option and yet he is NOT DOING THIS. creepy stuff if you ask me! i hope barack obama will use his VETO power to fight for the american peoples rights. if he doesn't then he's part of the mafia that runs america i guess. i think it's pretty NAIVE to think the usa government is going to do anything to protect the poor and middle class. in the usa inc wealth rules everyone and everything. it's money money money and no soul |

self abandonment got me stranded again
the lone wolf disappears into the fog, passion will be found once again, fragile sense of self, intangible desire for wealth, she is flying you CAN heal...self abandonment got me stranded again. polluted and uprooted. heaving reveals your dreams. remember this. sk i feel very unappreciated but i guess that is because i don't love and value myself enough?! |
