the price is wrong

so this guy price tapped for health and human services head,
has been slavering for a chance to defund medicare and make
no mistake, medicaid. he's gonna give you a voucher and a tax credit
alla way up to 3000with which to purchaase insurance.. pre existing conditions
will not be covered, insurance must be continuous so don't leave your job.  and for god's sake don't get poor!

Price is all for right
 to life, not so much your
 life, but a feotus'.so , yeah life.
 Healthy life, meh, who needs that.  what happens
after its born is up to the 'rents .{ and what's this
 story about a woman being jailed for assault on foetus cuz her self-inflicted coat hanger abortion  didn't take. yeah, babe was born 1.5 lbs, a couple weeks later so they couldn't get her for murder but in tennessee, the crime of  assault specifically includes feotus. still think they won't jail you if you have an abortion? wake up feople.} he and paul ryan
( of the republican senate ryans)
 have a plan to save YOU money
 by letting insurers compete for your business.

as anyone who's been in the workforce for the past
ten years can attest, that's gone over real well
what with the double digit increases, and the speed
at which they drop you or pop you with new
out of pocket expenses that don't even
apply to your deDUCTable let's just say
i'm sure those with chronic illnesses are
lining up like cattle in a chute
to jump on that gravy train
 ready to be served a very thin gruel
at twice the price.

listen. can we have a little common sense here?
we aren't talking about medical care.
we're talking about how to insure
people who don't want  or can't afford
to be insured.  young people don't think they need it
and poor people can't buy it at any price.
i mean how's your alzheimer's brother gonna
get treatment on disability with a damn voucher
and who will manage his money, chose  his
fucking carrier and whatever doctor might be on
this shoestring budget policy he can afford?
what about that triple by pass your dad needs?
we've seen how insurance companies  manage
risk, does a 75 year old really need an active heart?
and if your cake baking favorite
aunt strokes out ensure she has a low enough
 deductible for admission
before dialing emt. manage your health people-
if you can't afford an epi pen don't eat peanuts
it's pretty simple, let price and ryan show you how

wouldn't it be so much more human
not to mention humane, if
 we didn't make medical care
a profit based system.
i'd like to take a moment to reflect on what
that might feel like. but i can't.
i don't see it now and i can't see it
with all these reformers standing in the way.
giving tax money to the insurance industry
in the form of cafe taxes {still paid for by you
dear worker b } hasn't satisfied
the corporate lust for profit.
 how is it the medical industrial complex
the MIC all over again
is allowed to exploit our bodies
yet they arrest prostitutes and their johns?

raison d'etre for insurance is to manage risk
for profit's sake but you know
we all gon  die, we all gonna get sick we all
gonna need some help sometime ain't no scaping that
so what do you do when i come to you hat
in hand no pennies to scrape together
and show you the tumor on my head?
hand me a form to fill out, then
 check the box : better off dead.

medicare would be heaven if it changed its name to medicaid and paid for my rx's, and pd the nursing home 100% and not steal from my social security check for plan B.
