people who need people

People who need people...

People get sick. Some illnesses are mild, some are dire and some seem to mystify the medical professionals. America has promised and promoted that its citizens remain as healthy as possible and live a life with quality and care. By God, this is America say our politicians and we provide life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

People get sick and in this land of apple pie and motherhood we have corporations who are in the BUSINESS of developing drugs and medicines to help those people get better. People have illnesses and in the United States of America we have corporations dedicated to helping those ill to become less ill or even better and best to become better and not ill any more.

People who buy prescription drugs are grateful for drugs and medicines that keep them healthy. People who are share holders of companies who produce drugs are happy that Americans realize the value of drugs to keep them healthy and CEO's and other Executives of Pharmaceuticals understand the value of their product and services and understand that the quality of life costs money and it is more about the value of the bottom line than the value of life.

People want to do their best and live a healthy life. People seek out doctors care or the intervention of a nurse and try to maintain a plan to keep on keeping on when it comes to medical care.

People realized that Americans don't want to die from ailments, illness, or annoyances that might be stopped in their track if their tracks were detoured by correct, preventative and overt medical attention. People realized that they could create a BUSINESS and ideally develop a process and plan to provide insurance for those who just want to stay well, who wish to avoid hospital stays and who consider wellness not just for the wealthy. And people thought it was all part of the life liberty and pursuit of happiness promised in the Constitution and decided to try this health insurance.

People who buy health insurance are glad they have that coverage, hoping they never have to use it, but willing to use it when necessary. People who are shareholders are grateful that a majority of Americans want to try and stay healthy and are glad other people buy coverage. CEO's and Executives of Health Insurance Corporations understand human nature and the nature of humans to want to remain vital and vibrant and know that to do so too much money spent is an investment too many people will have to take. People realize that some people just don't want to die, and living is, well... living is expensive.

People tell us, that what they protest about, rant about and rave about is about the welfare of the children. People sound so selfless as they speak in unison about everything being about the children. People insist that what they do now is not for them but in fact for YOUR children and or YOUR grandchildren. People worry so much about the next generation, and humbly insist it may be painful now, but YOUR kids, and YOUR grand kids will thank you and thank you.

People who run the BUSINESS of Pharmaceuticals and Health Insurance love to say what they are doing is just a business thing and this thing done right will benefit the kind of America YOUR children and grandchildren will inherit. It is the American way, people say.

What enough people are not saying is that if Mom or Dad, don't have enough money to pay for medications, prescriptions, or health insurance for themselves and their children there will be less and less healthy children and grandchildren to be saved for a future America. What enough people are not saying is that less money for the unemployed, less social services for the poor, the disabled, the middle class means less money to pay for anything healthy. What enough people are not saying is that if we eliminate the means by which there is equality in health care, wellness prevention for all, that the ONLY children and grandchildren who will benefit from the selflessness of the Republican/Baggers/Evangelicals/700 Club/FOX News loving people are those whose Mom's and Dad's are millionaires.

People want to survive. People, it seems in this great nation of ours are being told that to survive you got pay the piper and if you can't afford the piper than perhaps you are not justified in surviving. All people are not equal anymore so it seems and even more than race, or religion or gender the inequality begins with how much money you have or how much money you have not.

People who need people...not unless you can pay for it.
