Twist and Shout

It is August and Congress is on recess and the health debate fills the air. The repudiated Republican Party has used this time to recruit their ignorant base to twist and shout during town meetings to disrupt any meaningful discourse between elected officials and the people who elected them in the first place.

This is a tactic of desperation and a dangerous one too. This Republican base does not only twist and shout, they also commit murder against doctors they disagree with, deny science altogether and for the most part are are a pretty scary bunch. This entire attempt to co-opt the democratic process reminds me very much of early Nazi Germany. Who would have thought we would see it here. It goes beyond nonsense. It is treason.

Common sense informs us that health care is a natural right for all people. Health care is what the Republican dogs of war like to talk about, but that is not what they are talking about, really.
They are talking about private for profit health insurance. High quality health care will remain the same, regardless of the payment process, for the wealthy anyway if nothing changes.

It is only common sense to take the profit motive out of health insurance. Life and death matters should be left up to the actual medical concerns without a for profit death squad deciding who lives or dies. That is only common sense, my friends.
