No Health Care in Our Time

After seeing what's been happening here in California, where the only real universal health care proposal is being ignored in favor of the tweedledum and tweedledummer choices of the governor and the legislature, all about politics and nothing really about health care--

And now after seeing the proposals of the major presidential candidates, most recently Hillary Clinton's, which suck up to the criminal enterprise known as private health insurance and in some ways make the current criminal-friendly chaos worse by making it mandatory--

I've given up the hope that I'll live to see universal health care come to the U.S. from the many more civilized countries in the world. And I suspect the lack of it will play a part in the circumstances of my final days. As it already does in the lives and deaths of many of my fellow citizens who previously may have believed they live in a civilized and compassionate nation, the best on earth.
