Health Care
Mar. 22nd, 2010 01:44 pmI'm still pretty pissed about this whole "Forced Coverage" thing, and I want to know what it actually does to costs, etc. So, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wacko1138 has answered my call for links and sent me this interactive thing, from the Washington Post: http://bit.ly/cz1hcf
No Matter what House Speaker Pellosi says, we haven't guaranteed coverage as a right. We've more demanded it, as a responsibility, which means that this bill is toothless, compared to working out an actual universal health care system. I'm more than a bit angry about the crowing, and preening, from Democrats, who couldn't get their heads out of their asses long enough to do something that would seriously benefit a ridiculous number of people and who instead chose to water down and muddle the majority of their supposed stances and efforts.
In addition to that, there's the doomsaying, from Republicans who keep trying to convince people that this is the end of the fucking world, and the gay ageist abortionists are going to be entitled to come for our wallets, in the night.
More people have the opportunity to obtain health care. Most people are now required by law to obtain health care.
But I think it's a Start toward something better.
