Health Insurance

45 million Americans don't have it. You get sick? Fuck you. Broke your ankle? Learn to limp. Acute appendicitis? Better pick out a cute coffin, because you are going to die. The odd thing is, the fundamentalist so-called Christians who run this country don't really care. This is the only time they believe in Darwinism and survival of the fittest. What Would Jesus Do? I guess he'd better go get an MBA, because without health insurance, stigmata can become infected very easily.

We claim such superiority over European nations and their socialized medicine, but here's a fact: They outlive us. They also have caught up and even surpassed Americans in height. When Jefferson was in Paris in the late 18th century, the Americans were nearly a head taller than their counterparts. They had been raised on food farmed in good soil, whereas the Europeans were getting crap from their tired dirt. Well, thanks to improved methods, they spent the last century catching up, and now the average Dutch man is six feet tall, and the average American man has gone from 5'10" to 5'9'. So many Americans eat cheap, nutritionally worthless shit all the time because they are too poor to eat properly. This the type of thing that strikes me as a national emergency, and dare I say, an imminent threat.

In a side note, please remember that you may not drive a car in this country unless it is insured. Still think you have more value than property?
