but
universal health and elder care
would be yet another slavery trap. As it is already, folks will only use services that insurance covers, meaning only western toxic treatments. Universal healthcare would worsen that situation. Ditch the doctors, if you can. We have greatly improved chances of living long and healthy lives if we stay away from those quacks in the first place, and I mean from the moment of birth. Speaking of hours spent slaving away at household chores, imagine the time and energy savings if you didn't seek western medical care, didn't have to make futile calls to offices and insurance companies to "treatment" (read poisoning) paid for, didn't have to find a 24 hour pharmacy because you ran out of something.
Ditch the care, and you won't need to pay the protection fees (called "premiums what kind of double speak is that?) for products that are sold to us as "insurance." Big joke on us. Just say no.
Whenever I talk about achieving universal “health” care, I mean it as a replacement to the MIC. If taxes must be paid, let them have human concerns. And really, the care I am concerned about is quality of living/end of life care. Preventative education for the most part, and then a hand to hold for lonely Bob with untreated cancer in the nursing home. I am fortunate because I have worked to make myself aware. I eat “right” and breathe “right”. You are spot on about the Health Care Industrial Complex. It is a hell, and I avoid it until I get diverticulitis, which is no fun. Age and gravity are not the intestinal friends of a painter. Likewise, if he didn’t have insurance, or was in dire poverty (and off the treadmill), he probably would have died of an infection. I like the drug prescribers and the surgeons, especially for children and the poor.
And I honor the care providers! Too many good people out there with amazing powers of giving themselves to the needs of others.
For every libertarian there are 5000 who don’t have the freedom to think freely.
For those who are in a position to say “no” to health care I say “yes, keep at it”. Meanwhile lets get rid of the nuclear submarine and the 97% of the standing international army, and give homeless Fred an open door for antibiotics and painkillers.
Thanks for reading!
Ah, yes. absolutely end the MICs, both of them. It's absurd. We are all paying for the murders of human beings world wide, via both psuedo-medical and outright military means, all to serve the oil men and their buddies, for their amusement and enrichment. Today is the lunar eclipse I believe. Many are predicting all sorts of horrors to happen today, and more in the next two weeks.
It's interesting that you have gone "poor," to avoid contributing to the evil axis. Have you thought about trying to get non-federal-taxpayer status, or has Ruth? check it out. I haven't done it, but it's very much on my to-do list.
Oh I will certainly look into this! Thank you!
Power of universe rights itself constantly (in cosmic time).
