Another election cycle has come and gone. In spite of the fact most average voters would want the security of adequate healthcare coverage, all political parties in the U.S. never endorse a candidate who would move America toward access to free health care. Candidates such as Bernie Sanders for instance. Candidates who are seen as too ‘radical’ and ‘socialist’ to ever field enough votes in a general presidential election. Forget the fact most every developed nation in Europe, who have now passed the U.S. in several quality-of-life metrics, offers free healthcare for their citizenry. Is there a constituency out there who doesn’t know better due to disinformation by the greedy apparatus of these individuals and companies who want to keep the status quo? There absolutely is and we witnessed it when Trump voter after Trump voter claimed they voted to get rid of Obama care as a primary reason they voted the way they did. Only to find out the joke was on them as they later learned that Obama care was the Affordable Care Act. Legislation most of them verbalized they didn’t want to lose.
News outlets like CNN and NBC have produced around the clock analysis of who the killer was and what their motive may have been. The same meaningless tropes all legacy news producers have purveyed to the public for generations. Reader, find it most peculiar how they never take the time to discuss the reason why such an event happened. Find it essential to the reasons why. Ask yourself why it’s not analyzed as a separate news item on a continual basis before such an event takes place. There were hints as to why, United Healthcare CEO, Brian Thompson was murdered. There was testimony from his widow concerning irate emails about inadequate healthcare coverage. More than likely from those in life-or-death situations. Yet, that most crucial information is never discussed because most legacy media is owned by the same collective movement toward crass greed that governs American health insurance corporations. That governs all American corporations in any sector of our economy!
Thompson’s murder personally took me to an introspection concerning how much leeway I had concerning my perception of my own morality. I know killing another human being is wrong under most circumstances. Yet, I kept coming to the place of ‘third party’ absolution in either not caring about Thompson’s life or considering it was his just destiny. In the darkest parts of my sinful recesses, I even considered it symbolizing a ‘win’ of sorts for the needy in our society. Reader, when you have sane and decent people crossing that moral threshold as Americans, it’s an alarm bell signaling things need reform. Money needs to get out of politics. Needs must be met for the most vulnerable in our society. Because, if things don’t change fast, Americans will be subjected to more news feeds THAT DON’T MEAN A DAMN THING REPORTING ON AN ISSUE THAT ABSOLUTELY DOES!
