Healthcare & Longevity of Life

The intent of this blog is to promote human equality, human progress, human peace and justice, and optimism. To accomplish this, to encourage the discussion of ideas after identifying and discovering problems, and then creating positive solutions for "we the people," in order to provide for the "general welfare" and "domestic tranquility" of America now and its "posterity" into the future. To encourage an emphasis on separation of religion and state for all, no matter if this is for those "of faith" in a Maker / Creator (Deists, God-loving people, Christians, various people of spirituality) and atheists or agnostics.

Healthcare & Longevity of Life

February 19, 2022

According to a recent newspaper article, Canadian senior citizens have a better longevity of life than American senior citizens. At the same time, healthcare costs in Canada are half of what they are in the USA> Canada has a single-payer universal healthcare system. The USA does not. The USA has Republicans, in order to get their way and destroy ideas for single-payer universal healthcare in the USA, lie through their teeth and get RINOs (and some Democrats, too) and others to believe them. After all, as Hitler’s Goebbels said, “if you tell a lie enough times, it eventually becomes the truth.” Trump and his followers work to destroy Obamacare. Bush says, “what’s good for business is good for America.”

Translated. What’s good for big insurance is good for America, even if it means some of us have experienced dumping money which SHOULD BE capitalist investments, into homeowners’ insurance at very high rates in the Florida of DeSantis and Rick the Prick Scott and many years into big health insurance, only be told that when we don’t have such coverage, we have to pay out of pocket for “pre-existing conditions.”

The end result is that we line the pockets of big fat cats in business, pay twice as much as in the Canadian system, and have a lower life expectancy than what the Canadians have. Am I being cynical or what? Silly me.
