The health of a nations population is a silly matter! Not sure there is a more important issue than healthcare beside avoiding foreign conflict.
Healthcare would not be a silly issue if the U.S. government wasn't violating our liberties more than any other Western country in the world.
It's like going to a drug dealer for prescription medication.
That may or may not be the best example, but our government tried to prosecute Julian Assange, putting him on the same level of Al-Qaeda. And Bradley Manning IS being prosecuted over the wikileaks fiasco!
So forget all the war crimes our military has done in Iraq and Afghanistan revealed by those documents. Our government only cares about prosecuting Bradley Manning? Not the person in a helicopter gunning down innocent Arabs?
Let's take this a step further. Did you know the federal government bans people from government-jobs if they read wikileaks? It's true. Now we're being punished for our first amendment rights for what is already in the public domain. Taking it a step further, we're being punished simply for "knowing too much". Don't you see there's something pretty messed up about that?
Healthcare in the United States is not just a silly issue, but also a STUPID issue! Because why should we trust our government who try to cover up the truth? Once you give them power over healthcare, how do we know they wont mandate treatments which are harmful for people? It's not like they even acknowledge the truth, so how can we trust them whatsoever?
Furthermore, once the federal government takes over healthcare, does that mean no doctor is allowed to read wikileaks? If the government continues to monopolize jobs after healthcare, does that mean they could censor any citizen they choose at the expense of his job?
Again, this is not just silly. It's stupid! Prosecute the crooks BEFORE they touch healthcare!
Let's get our priorities straight, people!
