What you can do with $102,000 per hour

Did you know that the United Health Care CEO is making $102,000 per hour this year not per week, or per month per hour! Now, if I were him I would be anti-health care reform to. Heck I would even lobby congress to prevent any changes, I might even fund commercials to “expose” the public option as a SOCIALIST CONSPIRACY FOR GLOBAL DOMINATION.  The fact of the matter is that we are having the wool pulled over our eyes here in the US by dudes, yes, I said dudes.- The origin of the word is American in the 1880′s and was applied to a class of men all of whom were city slickers and came west to take advantage of the ignorant cowboys.  Hence the term dude ranch. Now we have a new class of  dudes who are really no different then the dudes of the old west. These modern day snake-oil salesmen  are taking advantage of the ignorance of the population for their personal business gains.

As the only Modern Western Country without a national health-care plan for its citizens, the USA is the last bastion of the  Health-care dudes. These dudes are well funded, and have multiple, so called think tanks spouting the benefits of the current system and the evils of not-for profit health-care like the snake oil salesman of the old west. These snake-oil salesmen have the cure for all your ills, and if you’re gullible enough to believe them you deserve what you get, nothing, nothing but denied claims and hassles every time you try to use the health insurance policy you pay for on every paycheck.

If on the other hand you don’t make $102,000 an hour for denying valid claims or sell snake-oil to the masses take the time to think about it. Who benefits from the status-quo by eliminating a public option ? To start with,  its those  dudes making a $100,000 an hour!  Once you get a grip on reality and understand that you and every other hard working citizen of the worlds richest nation is already paying for national health-care (see your medicare taxes on your next paycheck) you just can’t use it until your 65, it’s called medicare. As an American you should be entitled to a decent standard of health-care, not the 37th best in the world.  If you think (government run health care or-Medicare) sucks try and take it away from the seniors and see what happens. Ask your republican representative to sponsor a bill eliminating Medicare and see what he or she says. The fact is, that if you’re 65 or a veteran you already have a national health-care system and no one will sponsor a bill to eliminate VA or medicare spending why is that? Because old people and veterans vote, the poor and uninsured do not. The seniors have the AARP lobbying for them and its political suicide to attempt to cut veterans spending.  So what is the point of this rant… You are, you’re the point at least the deductions from you’re paycheck anyway. If you are reading this you are not the poor or the uninsured you are like me, an average American you are one of the 125 million Americans that all that all the hype is about. You see it’s about your money because it’s your money that pays the CEO of  United Health Care $102,000 an hour. So he and his army of high priced dudes are telling you in as many words to trust them, because the snake-oil they are selling is the best snake-oil ever…. The thing is it’s still just snake-oil..

Brian Beutler of TPM has posted a pair of tweets from some idiot named Scott Oskay of New Mexico who is encouraging anti-health care reformers to attend Town Hall Meetings armed and to hurt people from the pro health-care reformers.
