I'm about on my last hair on this issue. People are calling into our newsroom about the damn Death Panels. There are no death panels but people want to believe there are. Its like they're mad at us for not reporting that the sky is falling.
Then we find out that insurence companies are suspected of planting people at these town hall, to spread misinformation and to start chaos so nothing gets done. My guess is that if this is so, you'd better believe that Palin is in on it or she's that fucking stupid.
There has to be common ground somewhere. When one of our older employees catches an upper respirtory infection and it turns into pneaumonia, because he can't afford to go to the doctor and get treated, there is a problem. When I cracked my lower leg, I had to suffer with it for months because I couldn't afford treatment. I work hard. I have a full-time job with a company that can't afford to give me or other employees proper insurance. Something needs to change.
Worried about crowding in hospitals? In Paris, they had medical teams that make house calls for everything from a cold to a heartattack. Doctor visits are $65 and are paid for if your income is too small to cover it.
There has to be something better than what we have.
