Health Care in the US. The Worst of the Advanced Capitalist Economies.

I forgot to mention in this short clip that my first chance at an appointment will be sometime in February. In other words, I have to pay out of pocket for a Chiropractor or suffer the pain, a few weeks, take more painkillers.

I should stress that I am not blaming the medical professionals here, doctors, nurses, orderlies clerical workers and so on; we are all driven by the system. We have free will indeed, but we, in almost all cases, exercise that free will under conditions that are not of our own choosing. My point in posting this is to stress the control corprations, or capital has over a basic human right and a necessity like our health. In Britain they complain about the National Health Service (NHS). Don't let them manipulate you psychologically and financially in to thinking it is worse than private health system. Public is far more efficient. It's just money out for them that also undermines the idea that the market is god so they want to starve it of  funds and force you in to the market.  Fund the NHS, take the money from weapons, the bankers, the hedge fund manager and all the other social parasites. The NHS or socialized medicine is the right road to travel. We demand health care of medical treatment as we need it, not on an insurance companies timetable. We demand the taking of the health industry, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, and so on, out of private hands and in to public ownership.

Here in the US, the poor do without it or in some cases, the working poor who, are by many accounts the vast majority of poor people, pay for health care with a credit card. In other words, the  moneylender gets a hold of them. Somewhere in the Communist Manifesto, Marx talked about after the exploitation of the worker through the labor process, in other words when we leave work with our wages, the worker is set upon by other sections of the capitalist class, the landlord and so on. He didn't envisage perhaps the hold the moneylender would have over the worker.
