Alter: Our Heath-Care System Is Just Fine As Is! | Newsweek Voices - Jonathan Alter

Your comment is pure hate mail. Venomous, generalizing, stereotyping garbage. You don't know the people who are objecting to this bill personally. You've never sat down and talked with them to find out WHY they don't like it. They may actually care more for the people so they fight something that is going to kill, maim and make mental zombies out of a whole generation.

What if you found that to be true? Could you admit it to yourself, really?

I, for one, resent your inflammatory and arrogant statement that "(our) bigotry is transparent" is despicable. YOU are the hater. You are the one who hasn't done your due diligence or, you would fight this human enslaver of a bill too because you care about people.

But chill on the hatred.

There are other bills and other ways to solve this health care crisis. Ron Paul has a 300 page solution without all of this drug company chicanery.

Read the bill.

Desperate people do desperate things.

This country is absolutely in need of health care reform.

Doctors charge too damned much ($1,000 a NIGHT in a hospital? They'd better be serving caviar.), the drug companies are serving everything they profit from in these hospitals and prohibiting anything natural to heal serious diseases, even and especially cancer, for example.

Should there be health care reform? ABSOLUTELY!

Approximately 2,000 people A DAY die in hospitals due to medical negligence or incorrect medical treatment. Health care reform, yes.

But we should REFORM (make a new form of the previous form) what is there, not add ridiculous things that will harm people more.

We don't need TeenScreening, for example, which screens teenagers for "mental health" problems so that drug companies have new minds to make a profit on. We want to put our tax dollars on destroying the minds of the next generation? I'll vote against that.

We don't need the "Mother's Bill" that screens PREGNANT women. The state will consider that all pregnant women are wards of the state and the state can review their mental condition and do anything they like to relieve their, "Post Partum Depression". This would include ANY psychiatric form of so-called treatment that the state would see fit (not that the mother agrees to). This would definitely include Prozac, Zoloft, Xanax and could stretch to Electro-convulsive therapy (shock treatment) and other barbaric solutions. The drugs WILL find their way into the mother's milk and therefore, the baby is then affected and addicted. Is that the kind of reform you want to enforce on the "lazy no-good brown-black-non-whites", poster "Coventry"? Who is the bigot who would want to enforce that on anyone?

I'll vote against that, thank you.

And, if you'd like to be micro-chipped, there is a section in the bill that makes it law that every US citizen shall be implanted with their very own micro chip with financial, medical and personal information on it. Oh, and the government can locate you any time they want. Sort of like a human, "Lo-Jack". 1984 anyone?

ALL of these things are hidden in the "Health Care Reform Bill", HR 3200.

EVERYONE wants health care reform. Even Ron Paul and the Republicans. What they don't want and what I don't want - and what I hope YOU don't want - is enforced ANYTHING.

If you put the people in a position of EXTREME poverty as the Switzerland bankers have done with this recession, OF COURSE they are going to say yes to ANY help. What a great strategy.

But LOOK at what the bill ENFORCES along with what it seems to give.

There are other health care solutions. I hope that the readers will do their own research:

If you are REALLY a myth busting site, Newsweek, you'll leave in my links and publish my comment.

Thank you for reading. Would love to hear

Nah, writers should use sarcasm, satire, etc. all they want. If a few people don't get it, that's the way it is. Some people lead sheltered lives, and sometimes articles written like this are their first introduction to these forms of writing. Ideally, once it sinks in that they've read what, for them, is a new form of writing, they might get the joke and find themselves enjoying classic forms of this writing style, by such obscure writers as Mark Twain, etc.
