Just got this message from a friend of mine…

“I’ve been pretty good. working 3 jobs right now cause i have to have knee surgery. how are you?”

Fuck you healthcare industry and double fuck you to people who say people without healthcare are lazy and mooching! Dicks.

I recently wrote this to someone, I don’t know him, I just read his comments on a Facebook post. He feels that he should not have to carry the burden of others and feels that the health insurance system we have currently is fine…

Kenny, I’m happy to hear that you are doing well enough financially to get the health care that you need. I also appreciate your concern. However, I very strongly disagree with your perspective. Why should a single mother waitress be unable to get health care because she can’t afford it? What about 20 somethings working in coffee shops and bookstores? We have a huge population of people in this country who are unable to get healthcare. This isn’t because they’re all lazy or ignorant, it’s because life has dealt a lot of them bad hands and they were unable to achieve the degree of success that you yourself have, or haven’t gotten there yet. Why should an insurance company be able to dictate to a dying person the amount of health care they are allowed to receive or deny service due to pre-existing conditions? It’s a cruel and ruthless industry called HEALTH CARE. Explain that to me. Those two words as far as I know are supposed to define well being and support.
