Welcome
Help stop the Iraq War, and the upcoming Iran War.
Read, investigate, use
the web, call your legislators, write letters.
Do something, please!
Hi. I'm a liberal democrat
who wants to see the human condition improved for all. I'm a
skeptic and non-religious.
Of particular interest to me is our healthcare system that is
corrupted by for-profit insurance.
This has resulted in a broken system. We must change to a system
that eliminates for-profit insurance. The savings from converting
to a non-profit medical payment distribution system would insure
everyone.
All this means is that insurance corporations won't be taking
a cut off the top. Insurance companies provide no healthcare
at all, they simply collect our money, skim off 30%, then negotiate
the least amount they can pay your doctor while limiting your
coverage. It's a horrible system.
Paying outrageous profits is wrong practically and morally.
Having a for-profit payment system naturally invites providing
less care for greater cost - because maximizing profit is the
goal, not providing health care. On the other hand, Medicare
operates on about 5% overhead. That's honest, effective healthcare.
Read my short Healthcare
Fact Sheet. For example: In one HMO, 19% of the Medicaid
dollars were skimmed to pay the three owners' salaries.

favorite quotes regarding religion.
Here are just a few disturbing quotes
from Family Bush:
George
Bush Sr. on atheism:
Question: "Surely you recognize the equal citizenship and patriotism
of Americans who are atheists?"
Bush Sr:. "No,
I don't know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should
they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God."
Bush Family Values
Barbara Bush:
"Why should we hear about body bags and deaths,"
Barbara Bush said on ABC's "Good Morning
America" on March 18, 2003. "Oh,
I mean, it's not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on
something like that?"
George W. Bush:
Bush won't meet with Cindy Sheehan and other protesters.
``...I think it's also important for me
to go on with my life, to keep a balanced life.''
A balanced like would be to care about the people
he sends to kill or be killed, and their families.
