Corporate Medicare

By Joel Bleifuss

The Medicare “reform” bill recently passed by Congress manipulates the cost and quality of health care provided to older Americans in order to maximize the profit margins of HMOs, insurance corporations and drug companies—the very same entities that poured money into congressional election campaigns.

    To all those who are still duped by the successful brainwashing which compels you to believe that only Corporate welfare or socialism is accpetable as long as its labeled, privatized…to those who still don’t understand that ANYTHING that your tax money is spent on is a form of Socialism and are now realizing that the ONLY thing its being spent on is the military, law enforcement, the prison industrial complex and corporate subsidies instead of giving it back to YOU because, well, after all, YOU paid for it…don’t you feel ripped off and flim-flammed?  You should.  They confused you by trying to equate an economic system, (socialism), with a political system, (despotism, bolshevism, etc), and you bought their load of crap.  Now we’re all giving our money to further enrich the already super-wealthy who are laughing their heads off at the way we were so easily suckered into falling for their scare tactics.  And you wonder why your kids can’t even read a map!  Shame on you all for being the dupes of HMOs, the Pentagon, Insurance companies, energy companies, the media, and just about every corporate contributor to this regime.  I hope you’re happy now because we have a long mountain to climb if we’re ever going to get back on our feet and start fighting for and demanding that our tax dollars be spent on US instead of THEM.  Wake up!
