Wealth Inequity and Medical Care Reform


A reminder about health care improvement again http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HvVgYPkhUU&feature=youtube_gdata



5% of people control 90% of wealth in the United States. Or, a more favorable United States wealth distribution study: as of 2007 (article updated 2/2010) 20% of the people have 85% of the total net worth, and 20% of the people have 93% of the financial wealth. http://sociology.ucsc.edu/whorulesamerica/power/wealth.html

New York Times article 3/23/2010....For all the political and economic uncertainties about health reform, at least one thing seems clear: The bill that President Obama signed on Tuesday is the federal government’s biggest attack on economic inequality since inequality began rising more than three decades ago. Over most of that period, government policy and market forces have been moving in the same direction, both increasing inequality. The pretax incomes of the wealthy have soared since the late 1970s, while their tax rates have fallen more than rates for the middle class and poor.

Public High School in Seattle Wash has a clinic inside. Abortion Funding , paid for by all American Tax Payers is alive and well funded.
Read this:http://www.komonews.com/news/local/88971742.html

An article about Oceana High School youths stated, parents should be held responsible for a teenager drinking in their home. Even if it is not their kid, any kid. Some students will volunteer to be narcs and attend parties, take pics with their cell phones and call the cops.

If a teenager is pregnant, she does not have to tell her parents and she can get an abortion. It's not her fault. Paid for by you.

If a teenager is drinking in your home, they do not have to tell their parents, you will just get a fine. Snitched out by a teenager. You could possibly lose your job.

Who is putting these ideas into our youths heads? Who is turning our youth against us?
I know the country is broke, but is this the way they will pay for their Health Care? Destroying American Family's? Who is the enemy here? American Family's? It sure seems like President Obama and those who support him think so. Teach your children well. Tell them what is going on. Prepare them.

Kathleen thinks parents shouldn't be responsible for things that happen within their homes.

Can someone call San Mateo County Mental Health and send the Woo-Woo Wagon over to Kathleen's house? She's gone off the deep end.

Don't worry Kathleen, you'll get the psychiatric care you so desperately need under the recently passed health care plan.
