Today, I sat there on my day off and sat back and flipped through the channels on my TV, and of course it happened to be Oprah, and Michael Moore, and several other people… 

I honestly can say that I do agree with Mr. Moore on many great details of the American Healthcare system. For many years they have known there is a problem with their system and a situation in which the health care system is for profit. I agree with Mr. Moore when he says that we should not be playing roulette with peoples lives when it comes to the health care system.

How I see the only change being made is on a state level where each of the states purchases healthcare facilities and then hires the staff to do the job. All it takes is passing a law stating that no person shall be denied healthcare, irregardless if they are insured or not. They should be able to receive healthcare needed for an operation. 

The problem is that healthcare companies do not understand politics and nor do they care to understand the taxation quotient that decides how much taxes have to be paid. If that person was able to be healed and put back into work, and if they made 7 dollars an hour, how much in taxes would there be put back into the system.

When people are healthy, they tend to enjoy life more, and tend to spend more. Thus in the mathematics of everything brings in more taxes. 

You see, politicians in America are not in your pocket, and that also needs to change, they need to be there for the people. There needs to be accountability to the highest levels of government. People need to be in control of their Government, and the people in America need to stand up for their constitution, their rights, what many have fought and died for. The constitution is not just “a god damned piece of paper” you know, it’s an ideal, it’s a belief in a better way of living. In the words, “We the people of the United States of America”, it does not say “We the corporations of America in order to form a larger bank account and line our pocket books”.

People need to stand up and realize that when all that violence that happened with the Civil Rights Movement, it changed America, it made the Governments take notice and listen. I believe that it is time for Americans to once again wake up and use their voice, use their vote.

Don’t vote for the Democrats or the Republicans. They have the same sponsor’s stickers on the side of their car. Vote for the person that you believe to be honestly there for the people and by the people… do you realize what would happen if there were a lot more independents in the House and Senate?? It would change the shape of politics in Washington. Political parties would take notice, that lies and deceit will not be tolerated in America.

Don’t vote one way because of your grand pappy did it or your brother does it or another family member or your best friend. Stand up use your voice, and let them know that “We the People” will not sit here and take their lies anymore. 

Let us find a way to change the healthcare system in America as I said on a state level. Do you realize what it would do to the corporate healthcare system? While it would not destroy it, it would sure make it smaller. There should be both sets of systems, one for those that want to pay and those that can not afford it.

Honestly, the costs that they were talking about on Oprah today for procedures have to be highly over priced. How the hell can you justify seven hundred thousand dollars for a procedure? I believe that the prices are unjustified and are highly over inflated. 

The American healthcare system is flawed because of how it operates and is setup. There needs to be a change and no one seems to want to deal with it because it is too much of a problem.

In American Politics they never solve the problem only talk it to death and another election comes along and talk about it again. 

It is time for a serious change in both the healthcare system and the political system. If it takes the people, marching and voicing their opinion in the streets so be it, because talking on the radio sure the hell as not done anything at all to change anything. 

It if takes an amazing amount of civil disobedience like during the civil rights movement, so be it.

But if it be your will, to live in a flawed system and do nothing; not to take your government to task for their wrong doing and their evil deeds against you, then you are as guilty as those that destroyed your country. Take heed knowing that your choices are yours.
