(9,562 posts)My point is that they are still removed from the reality that we non-rich have to deal with every day. That provision in the ACA about Congress is little more than a joke. They can afford to get way better insurance while we are still being given crumbs and told to like it. This is outside of the fact that they can get decent enough insurance through the ACA anyway. Two-tiered system, all the way down.
Time for a government hospital that has nothing to do with insurance, and that can offer those who are not Thiels or Soroses the ability to get the healthcare they need, not what they can afford. The fact that the rethug oligarchy wants wage slaves but not the cost of helping them in any way is idiotic, but it is also standard practices for this regime. The upsetting thing is that this situation is not new, and to think that this particular regime change is going to remove this or even fix some of it is to be out of touch.
Face it, there are two 'Americas' here, and most of us are not in the one that actually gets to do more than 'survive for our masters'. This is not new. Yet, we are only seeming to realize it as a problem and not a 'policy issue' now.
That is even more upsetting.
