The only thing preventing real health care reform in Washington DC is the massive corruption that has the Congress in its hideous grip.  An overwhelming percentage of the American people want single-payer health insurance but the big “for-profit” corporations have paid off “our” elected representatives to make sure that we never get the huge benefits of such a plan. 

Maybe its time for America to take to the streets in massive numbers as well!

Just to keep an eye on what the “enemy” was doing I signed up for a membership in “Divided We Fail”, a schill organization sposnored primarily by AARP.  They present themselves as a progressive organization working for health insurance reform when in fact, they represent United Health Care and, of course, AARP, itself a private for-profit health insurance provider.

I recently received an email linking me to a questionnaire that they were circulating.  They said that they wanted to know what I was thinking.  Well, I told them.  Question 14 asked for a narative so I gave them one.  You can read a copy of it below.  If you would like to respond to their survey yourself there is a link at the bottom of the page.

Thanks for reading my blog,

Actually I have a question for you:

What is the best feature of our current health insurance system?

(  ) Obscene corporate Profits

(  ) Bloated CEO salaries

(  ) Hundreds of competing and redundant administrative systems

(  ) 47 million uninsured

(  ) Millions more underinsured

(  ) 60% of bankruptcies caused by medical bills

(  ) $400billion dollar annual burden imposed by private for-profit health insurance corporations

(  ) USA the only developed country without a real national health insurance system

(  ) All of the above

The correct answer - All of the above

As an arm of ARRP you are little more than a schill for United Health Care and as such cannot be trusted.  Single-payer health insurance under Medicare for all (H.R. 676) is CLEARLY the best possible solution to our health insurance crisis yet for your own greedy, selfish purposes you use lies and distortions to try to keep the American people from receiving the tremendous benefits of such a system.  You corrupt the Congress with massive payoffs and bribes to keep “our” elected representatives from enacting real system reform.  You create front organizations like Divided We Fail and pretend to be one of us while all the time your purpose is to protect the financial interests of the big health insurance companies and AARP, itself a private, for-profit health insurance provider that supported the passage of Medicare Part D under George Bush with it’s huge “donut hole” and prohibition against the government bargaining for volume discounts with the pharmaceutical companies to save billions for the American people.

You think that you have us beat now but remember…  it’s not over ’til it’s over.

Our Congressional representatives are becoming a little jaded to the enormous volume of email traffic that they get.  Accordingly phone calls are much more effective and written letters are even more effective still.

Below is a copy of a letter that I  sent my Democratic senator just this morning [I figured it was a waste of time to write to the Republican].  If my views happen to reflect yours, please take a moment to write to yours as well.  Thanks, Larry Pius, Dir.

Dear Senator

More than anything else, I believe that the latest push for national health insurance reform has, in a manner never before experienced by the American public, turned over a huge rock on Capitol Hill.  In so doing, it has exposed in a very ugly and graphic way the true level of corporate corruption that has our national legislature in its fetid grip.

The health system issue is just so clear and compelling that all but the most greedy, sociopathic ideologue could possibly ignore the desperate need for real health insurance reform in the United States, the only developed country in the world that has failed to solve this problem.  The fact that the single-payer option is so clearly the best possible solution by a very wide margin causes all those who oppose it to expose themselves to the charge of being a corrupt, paid lackey of the for-profit health insurance lobby.  It is well known by now that in the name of insatiable corporate greed, they have spent untold millions buying off congressional votes in an effort to deny the American people the benefits of a real health insurance system that adequately provides complete coverage for all at affordable prices.

Clearly, if true health care reform fails this time around and we are left with some pathetic watered version of what amounts to nothing more than continued corporate control, essentially the same type of failed system that has brought us to the brink of collapse that we now face,  there is little doubt that much more will be heard about corruption in government in the very near future; much more indeed!

Now please go out and do the right thing.

Sincerely,
