A quick reflection on the United Health care murder. [View all]

This election taught me that the Country I kinda hoped it was, clearly isn’t. Remember the deceased was doing what was approved by the American people. A lot of voters went for the guy who wants to dismantle the ACA. Preexisting conditions who cares?

The American people can vote for a single payer insurance (imho it is the only one that makes sense).
There is no great cry for it.

We fail to hold voters responsible for their actions. They are not automatons. This health system and the overwhelming abundance of firearms IS America. It is WHY we are the Democratic Underground . I know and agree that the present system is barbaric and our lifespan is actually falling despite the huge amount of capital spent on the system. We could have single payer coverage but our voters choose not to act just like gun control. Like Scrooge, Americans built this system link by link and it is a ponderous chain. They crucified our party and President Obama about the ACA with the “concept of a plan”.

The fault dear Brutus is not in our stars but with us.
