The Bonfires Of Wellness Care

Let’s send away wellness insurance down. Greedy corporate bastards should burn. Big Pharma together with large hospitals should in all probability send away too. You know who else is really, really, bad? Wall Street. Let’s send away the banks. And let’s send away Big Tech together with the entire Silicon Valley cartel. Let’s also send away Big Agribusiness that’s making us fatty together with sick. And let’s send away the Oil companies that are destroying the planet, together with let’s send away the automakers too. Heck, let’s send away all the globalist billionaires together with spell at it, let’s send away the White House. Let’s bring a cathartic bonfire of all things nosotros passionately hate.

The “scorched earth” military machine strategy was tried together with constitute truthful fourth dimension later on fourth dimension throughout recorded history. Unfortunately, the Geneva Convention banned this useful exercise a few decades ago. Not to worry though, the aficionados of all burning things discovered a modern version of the same: the “scorched economy”. Like General Sherman marching resolutely to the sea, the warriors against all things evil are marching from election to election on what volition hopefully presently survive the ashes of the Great American Economy, together with from those ashes the brotherly, egalitarian together with perfect inwards every way, Phoenix shall rise. We only cannot allow republic to snuff it inwards darkness. Hence, nosotros volition calorie-free the most magnificent bonfire the world has e'er seen, together with republic volition snuff it inwards a glorious blaze minute solely to the Lord's Day itself.

Health assist is ane 5th of the American Economy, together with it is a highly combustible mixture of money, disease, pain, suffering, death, greed, lust, inequality, exploitation, theft, together with fifty-fifty murder, along amongst every other sin known to mankind. It is a goodness house to get-go our illuminating devastation of evil. Health insurance companies cannot survive allowed to exist. Pharmaceutical corporations must all die, together with yes, hospitals should all survive shuttered down. Heck, fifty-fifty doctors should survive wiped off the human face upward of the earth.

Our government, where nosotros all come upward together to do good, should render assist to the sick, together with preferably wellness to the healthy. Our government, past times the people for the people, should invent novel ways to forestall together with cure disease. Health assist should survive given inwards the comfort of one’s domicile past times artificially intelligent machines. Doctors together with hospitals, similar walls, are immoral 14th century implements, that tin survive easily replaced past times moral technology, such equally drones, sensors together with other electronic “things”. Once nobody gets paid to do wellness care, because government, together with because, you lot know, “technology”, wellness assist volition apparently survive free. Problem solved. Move on.

To paraphrase Susan Sontag (mostly because ane cannot write anything today without some reference to the Third Reich), 10 per centum of whatever population is irrational, no thing what, together with 10 per centum is rational, no thing what, together with the remaining fourscore per centum tin survive moved inwards either direction. In our case, the irrational 10 per centum is alternately running for some elected part or serving on goodness TV panels on everything, from fighting ISIS to fighting cancer, largely based on mightiness to rapidly skim through Wikipedia articles. And when Medicare for All is deemed necessary to avert climate change, according to a of late introduced House resolution, ane is forced to wonder if a Dodo Bird inwards Every Pot volition survive the winning electioneering slogan of our times.

Health assist according to many well-intentioned people should survive a “Right”. Americans bring many such Rights enshrined inwards our Constitution, together with the Right to wellness assist seems to gibe the bill. We bring the Right to gratis spoken language for example. Is my Right to gratis spoken language exercised the same as, say, Jeff Bezos’s Right to gratis speech? We all bring the Right to Assistance of Counsel if defendant of a crime. Is an assignment to a populace defender, the same equally existence able to hire Alan Dershovitz? We bring a Right to non survive assessed excessive bail. Do you lot bring whatever stance how many people languish inwards jails for lack of $50 to postal service bail? Declaring wellness assist to survive a Right is a inexpensive together with rattling fell shape of demagoguery.

What if wellness assist is non a Constitutional Right, but exactly a correct to a gratis populace service, similar state K-12 education? American populace educational activity has the largest toll per capita, middling outcomes, rampant systemic inequality, underqualified together with underpaid teachers, together with a constant stream of flailing Federal initiatives to bring no kid left behind. Lots of “tech” though, inwards every failing, illiterate classroom, together with to a greater extent than added every day, except inwards the posh schools of the rich. That’s what a gratis populace service looks similar when the foundation is broken. There is piddling argue to believe that gratis populace wellness assist volition survive different, ane time the evil individual sector goes upward inwards flames.

Here’s an interesting thought. Would you lot survive surprised to larn that employer sponsored commercial wellness insurance is the most egalitarian wellness insurance arrangement around? Do you lot know why? Because the “decision makers” are required to alive within the decisions they make. Unlike salaries together with taxation, when it comes to wellness insurance, the large powerful CEO gets the same exact excogitation that his secretarial assistant gets. Their interests are perfectly aligned inwards this case. Compare that to gratis populace services, similar wellness assist together with education, where determination makers are inwards no agency obligated to alive within the “comprehensive” solutions inflicted on everybody else. Think virtually that. There may survive a clue hither on how to acquire virtually fixing many things inwards this country.

Once you lot are safely inwards orbit roughly the Washington DC swamp, you lot volition never ane time to a greater extent than bring to send you lot children together with grandchildren to a populace school, never ane time to a greater extent than bring to store for wellness insurance, never bring to purpose populace transportation, never bring to worry virtually rent, utilities or anything else the “American people” worry virtually twenty-four hours together with night. All the problems you lot pretend to solve are theoretical. Other people’s problems. Sure, you lot may survive a rattling goodness person, really wanting to bestow medical assist on all Americans, but it’s non similar your piddling kid is at conduct chances of dying because you lot can’t afford an asthma inhaler. Theoretical problems tend to generate theoretical solutions. Theoretical solutions seldom operate inwards practice.

Setting everything together with everyone on send away together with watching it all send away inwards a semi-religious exorcism of all that is together with has been evil inwards America, is non the same equally having your ain plump derrière baptized past times the flames.
We who are virtually to survive sacrificed inwards your self-aggrandizing arsonist rituals, categorically turn down to fuel the bonfires of your mistaken revolution.
