Well, louise is up in alaska but, FB is everywhere and thus, i am too. So this guy Jason, who is turns out went to Syracuse with her, and was on the rowing team with her, and never spoke to her much...asked to be her friend. And, she isn't so excited about it right now. the reason being, he is adamantly against any form of government supported or designed health care program. He is a capitalist, he is wealthy, he is selfish and not afraid to say it. he doesn't want to pay one cent towards healthcare for anyone other than himself or his direct family members. Louise, her friend Joe and I have been in a dialogue with this fool for two days now. we shoot facts his way, he shoots opinion and heresay back at us. He reminds us of the long lines all over the world, and the fact that people can't always get an MRI when they 'want it,' in Canada. Then, we point out that the US residents spend over $7000 per person, per year on health care. That, the united states spends more money on health care than any other nation in the world and yet, we rank 37 in the world for health care. he told us that he works hard for his money and he doesn't want to share it. He is a landlord of a building in Miami...okay.
He noted that our founding fathers and the pilgrims before them didn't want to be told what to do so, they moved here. Taxing tea is a bit different than providing health care to help citizens pursue 'life, liberty, happiness and property.' which is what we are all supposed to be doing, right. He is from New Hampshire by the way, he noted the state motto on the liscence plates,' live free, or die.' well, guess what....that is just what is going to happen. we are going to die. people without health care will get sicker, get virus's and they will spread and the top 1% of the population, who controls 40% of the wealth in the US economy, will get just as sick as the lower 99% of us. This is what will happen and he deserves to be first in line. Tell you what...if he flees to canada, they will take care of him for free.
