Frustration

I am so weary of hearing ignorant people, distorting facts and misinterpreting words - trying to stir up hatred against someone who is just trying to do the right thing.

My thought - How come the richest country in the world, so far advanced in technology and medical knowledge, is such a miserable failure in providing good care for its sick and elderly, compared to many other countries with far less?

Answer - We are morally bankrupt.

As I see it, there is just one way to turn this around - And, no, I don't imagine it will ever happen. That would be for new legislation to be passed stating that every member of Congress shall be covered by exactly the same rules that apply to everyone in the U.S. - no better, no worse. If they and their families were not safe and secure with their own comprehensive health care coverage, they would see to it very quickly that it was available for all.

Not a startlingly new idea Just a simple and rather obvious truth. Of course, the catch is, the people who would have to pass such legislation are the people who would be on the losing end of it.
