Think you can handle the truth?

Here's a nice little piece written by one of the producers of Keith Olbermanns show. Before you start your inner dialogue ... cease and desist. This is NOT about politics, forget that it's someone from the MSM (or whatever you want to call them) and IMAGINE for a minute that it was a friend, or a loved one, or even you either at the clinic or maybe even volunteering:

"Eighty-three percent of the patients they see are employed, they are not accepting other government help on a large scale, not "welfare queens" as some would like to have us believe. They are tax-paying, good, upstanding citizens who are trying to make it and give their kids a better life just like you and me.

Ninety percent of the patients who came through Saturday's clinic had two or more diagnoses.
Eighty-two percent had a life-threatening condition such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or hypertension. They are victims of a system built with corporate profits at its center, which long ago forgot the moral imperative that should drive us to show compassion to our fellow men and women."

The question that's asked in this article is the same that I find myself asking over and over and over again. To the point of insanity. How can a country of such "wealth" stand by and let this happen? People are DYING because of this. Forget about the fact that there may be an "agenda" in here ... just stop that arguement right now. This is NOT about agendas, messages or politics. When I started this blog I swore that I wasnt going to make it about politics but about things that pissed me off ... and friends let me tell you ..... on a scale from 1 to 10 ... this one is a 25. I am livid with rage, ready to snap the head off anyone who calls this some call to arms for any number of idiot conspiracy theories, socialist healthcare plans, Obama being any kind of "ist" or another rant from Glenn Beck.  Again let me point this out in VERY simple english. Politicians and their indifference are KILLING americans. While access to health care is NOT a fundamental right guaranteed by the constitution, it should be and should start now.
