I was scared of the Gulf War because I didn't know there was more than one Gulf and thought people were fighting on the beaches of the Gulf of Mexico.

So my mom got out a globe and schooled me.

Then the next day I saw a convoy of military vehicles and some oil refinery blew up and we had to stay inside with the windows closed.

That's when I knew my mom was lying and that SCUDs were being fired 45 minutes down the road :tinfoil:

Kids are dumb.

I feel ya man. When I was in Kindergarten, Reagan was president, and the USSR still existed.

I grew up a roughly 25-30 minute drive south of Kennedy Space Center and the launch pads. Which means I could watch launches from my back yard, or say, the lawn of my elementary school. Which is where I watched the Challenger detonate mid launch.

Fast forward to February 1st, 2003. My flight major and I were looking over the radar scatter of Columbia's debris field (I probably have some of the shots saved on a flash drive) and I mentioned that I never thought I would see a second shuttle loss. At which point another airman looked at me confused.


They had no idea there was ever a previous disaster and couldn't fathom time existed before 1990.

At least there are still a few politicians who aren't poo poo in this world

quote:

[removed name] -

Last month, we won a very important victory against the Republican health care plan that would have taken away insurance from 24 million Americans, raised premiums for seniors and defunded Planned Parenthood.

But we must be clear. This is just the beginning of our struggle, not the end. Our true goal is not just stopping Republicans from destroying health care. Our goal is guaranteeing health care as a right for all people.

Let me be blunt. The Affordable Care Act has done some very important things for our country. Today, 20 million Americans have health care who did not before the law was passed. We ended the obscenity of people being denied coverage because of pre-existing conditions and we put a cap on how much people with serious illnesses have to pay out of pocket. Progress was made but we can do better -- much better.

That is why, within a couple of weeks, I am going to be introducing legislation calling for a Medicare-for-all, single-payer program.

People who cannot afford health care don't deserve to die. We should not be spending far more, per capita, than any other nation for health care or be paying the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs.

I believe now more than ever that the American people are ready to end the national disgrace of being the only major country on earth not to guarantee health care as a right for all of its people. Add your name if you agree.

Add your name as a citizen co-sponsor of my Medicare-for-all, single-payer health care bill that will guarantee health care as a right for all Americans.

The truth is that the insurance and pharmaceutical companies in this country are bribing the United States Congress. In recent years they have spent billions of dollars in lobbying and campaign contributions to make sure that we maintain a dysfunctional, but profitable, approach to health care. Enough is enough. Now is the time to take them on and do something about it.

They will try to make words like "NATIONAL HEALTH CARE" sound scary.

But the truth is, we already have a very large single-payer system in this country. It's called Medicare and it has succeeded in providing near-universal coverage to Americans over the age 65 and gets high marks from people who are enrolled in the program. I believe we can and should expand it to cover everyone.

I believe the American people are ready for a Medicare-for-all, single-payer system that guarantees health care as a right for all Americans. But getting there will require nothing short of a political revolution in this country. Add your name to say we're in this together.

Add your name as a citizen co-sponsor of my Medicare-for-all, single-payer health care bill that will guarantee health care as a right for all Americans.

Today, 28 million of our sisters and brothers are living without health care, while many others have high deductibles and co-payments. Despite the gains under the Affordable Care Act, there is still a major health care crisis in this country.
Our job, together, is to end that.

In solidarity,
Bernie Sanders
U.S. Senator, Vermont

Its really what we need to fix the healthcare system, but it will happen over the corpses of every health insurance provider and pharmaceutical company in the US.

They won't let that happen no matter how many favors they would need to call in and how much they would need to spend in bribes. The US healthcare system is built from the ground up to profit off of the end user, and that poo poo aint ever going away.
