Almost Affordable Health Care.

There is no reason to ask “why” health care is a complicated, unaffordable, and a seemingly insurmountable problem in the U.S. but not in Canada. We know “why.”

Unlike other industrialized nations, the United States health care system is centered-around for-profit insurance companies. Selling “insurance” so people can have access to health care is a money making opportunity. Withholding treatment for sickness and pain is a money making opportunity. Sickness and pain are money making opportunities. There is no need to look any further for a system completely lacking in compassion when we have the United States Health Care Insurance System biting us in the face.

What is the Difference Between a Psychopath and a Sociopath?

Spelling.

Though psychologists may disagree on hair-splitting the fine points defining a sociopath vs. a psychopath, they all agree these lying, manipulative, human mutants have no remorse, shame or guilt. They invade countries, gut economies, kill women and children, or deny life saving treatment to a cancer patient. They can do it all without missing a good night’s sleep.

And it appears they’re in control of The United States of America.

Some countries are not obviously controlled by monsters. Iceland’s big banks defrauded the country for astronomical sums and ran the economy into the ground. Sound familiar? The government did not bail out the banks.

Central bank governor Davíð Oddsson, said that the state did not intend to take over any of the banks’ foreign debts or assets. Instead, new banks were established around the domestic operations, and the old banks will be run into bankruptcy. Too Big To Fail (a.k.a. Reward The Vampires), was not the path chosen by Iceland. Instead Iceland forgave the mortgage debt of about 25% of its population and sued and jailed the bankers who destroyed its economy.

Iceland now has low unemployment and its economic growth is stronger than anything forecast for the UK or the rest of Europe.
