Health Care Rant
GODDAMN IT all this health care bullshit is making me crazy.
At this point I think the government should just go the fuck ahead and DO IT ANYWAY even if part of the population is against it. Because I don't give a fuck what those people want anymore. If we already had a health care plan in this country and the right wanted to see it shut down, they would never get EVERYONE to agree about it because there is no way that EVERYONE will ever agree about anything.
I'm not saying everyone should be forced to use public health care. If they don't like it, they can continue to go private (which has been part of the plan all along). If they don't want national health care, than that is fine, but how dare they try to stop it from being available to those who do?? (The Right are always trying to pull this kind of shit.)
The problem is that people are being told lies and they fucking believe them. We can have rational debate all we want, but people aren't listening. They're letting their fear be the boss of them. And I'm fucking sick of it. And once again, they're being fed this fear in order to manipulate them by people who have a vested interest in seeing that health care stays expensive.
And OH YES, we don't want to pay any more in taxes. The number fucking one enemy to the average American is higher taxes. There is nothing that they hate more. And it's so stupid. They think that because Republicans say that they don't want to raise taxes that they care about the average person. They absolutely do not. [Yes, I realize I'm making a generalization, but I'm kind of angry. I know that not everyone who is a Republican is a bad person]
I'm just tired of all of this. I'm tired of the conservatives being ... around? I just can't understand them. I can't understand how they can think the way they do. And I don't understand how they can have so much power, even when, strictly speaking, they don't have any power.
I'm done ranting now. I realize that there may be parts of this that are misinformed, as I haven't really studied the Health Care Plan, and don't really know all that much about it. It's just so ... everywhere.
Anyway. Rant over.
