This really made me angry
Sep. 18th, 2010 11:57 amSomething I read on Facebook this morning. Linked by a couple of my friends.
"(This is a picture of) a young physician by the name of Dr. Roger Starner Jones. (photo) His short two-paragraph letter to the White House accurately puts the blame on a "Culture Crisis" instead of a "Health Care Crisis".."
It's worth a quick read:
Dear Mr. President:
During my shift in the Emergency Room last night, I had the pleasure of evaluating a patient whose smile revealed an expensive shiny gold tooth, whose body was adorned with a wide assortment of elaborate and costly tattoos, who wore a very expensive brand of tennis shoes and who chatted on a new cellular telephone equipped with a popular R&B ringtone.
( Click to continue reading the WTF? )
Not to mention the fact that the first paragraph of his letter makes it clear he's talking about an African-American. So, there is the thinly veiled racism, too.
The attitude of this "doctor" as well as so many other Americans, IMO, is the reason this country is going down the tubes.
According to this blog, it would cost the US government about 130-150 billion to fund a one-payor health care system.
This is the cost of the two wars the US has been involved in the last nine years.
It seems to me that all we have to do is pull out of both Iraq and Afghanistan (neither of which is win-able, it seems to me) then our government can fund universal health care without increasing the budget.
I've said it before, I'll say it again. The women of the world have to take control back. A matriarchy would get away from comparing dicks and get back to nurturing their people.
