"Lazy, drunk, drug-addicted, and criminal: that's our "poor."


I could argue it's the same over here in the UK and that does make up a large percentage, though on the other hand there's a lot of people been laid off work or the companies they worked for have gone into liquidation so there are genuine cases and plenty of them.

Laying that aside however, the list of ailments which would prevent somebody from getting health insurance seems preposterous, and just taking a controllable illness such as diabetes as an example would preclude millions.

It surely can't be the case that anyone with diabetes is basically up shit creek without a paddle if they have a complication due to their condition, can it?

Now because I know Michael Moore is a manipulator of emotions, I was mentally filtering through all the repetitive points he was making and the extreme cases which won't have been commonplace.

Even so, I can't imagine that any objective opinion of anyone in a developed country would not be quite frankly appalled at the lack of care available for those least able to afford it.

The sight of a woman being dumped by one hospital outside another was shocking, no matter if she was an alcoholic or drug addict.

If it's acceptable that this should happen because some individuals are deemed worth the effort, then fair enough but the US Government shouldn't try to convince itself that the US is a Christian country anymore.

It's a company.

Now I understand that Barrack Obama is coming under a lot of criticism for his proposed Health reforms which I'm assuming includes some form of free health care, and again I'm shocked that anyone could have any issues with this apart from the drugs companies who apparently have almost every politician on their payroll.

Probably far more to it than I can see, but from the outside it really does seem...shocking.


Today is a gift - that's why it's called the Present.

Chris Redmond.
