Why the US lags behind in Healthcare

“The big threat to the planet is people: there are too many, doing too well economically and burning too much oil.”
– Sir James Loveloc
“A massive campaign must be launched to de-develop the United States. De-development means bringing our economic system into line with the realities of ecology and the world resource situation.”
- Paul Ehrlich, Professor of Population Studies
“One America burdens the earth much more than twenty Bangladeshi-ans .  This is a terrible thing to say in order to stabilize world population, we must eliminate 350,000 people per day.  It is a horrible thing to say, but it’s just as”
- Jacques Cousteau, UNESCO Courier
The arguments against universal healthcare range from the rhetorical, like concerns about competition, bureaucratic concerns and questions about funding, to the purely ridiculous, such as “we shouldn’t ruin the best healthcare system in the world, but all of these are diversions. In an era where we have witnessed significant technological and medical progress one could make the argument that the right to viable healthcare is fundamentally attached to the right of life. Study after study shows that the life expectancy gap between the aristocracy and the masses is increasing substantially. One should ask themselves why should one person be allowed to continue life whilst another perishes merely based on class? Is this the society we wish to pass on to our children? Is a wealthy person’s life more valuable than a poor person’s? If so, what is the exchange rate between classes? How many middle class lives is one aristocrats worth?
These are issues we must, as a society, truly examine if we want to allow this sort of egotistical masturbation to continue. Surely the vast majority of people will reach the conclusion that no one is worth more than anyone else, that all life is invaluable and that all mankind truly is created equal with a right to life among other things.
Who then are those who oppose universal healthcare and what are their reasons? The oligarchs in almost every society have always had a deep disdain for those whom they consider lesser human beings. Evidently, eugenics has always been popular conversation among the elites. Countless world leaders and aristocrats (Rockefeller, Kellog, Mellon, Ford, Carnegie, Agnelli, Mac Cormick the list really goes on and on) support the theory of eugenics, or selective breeding among humans. These same elite and their children still dominate the social elite today with wealth far exceeding any sane amount.
The most famous eugenicist of all time was Adolf Hitler, but what many fail to understand is that Hitler’s rise to power was almost exclusively funded by two entities. First, by British intelligence agencies by order of the King of England, George V from the house of Saxe-Coburg now known as Windsor. The other group was the Thyssen family, who with the help of Prescott Bush, little boy Bush’s grandfather, used Union Banking Corporation as a massive money laundering front for the Nazi party. In fact, the Thyssen and Bush families were known to have connections and business deals with Nazi organizations all the way up until 1951, when the UBC was liquidated by the government and Prescott Bush was given 1.5 million for his share of the company.
A lot of people would have you believing that the reasons behind the refusal of socialized medicine in the country are economical. Then again those are the same people who remind you to “Keep calm and carry on” and “If you see something, say something.” That’s part of the tactic, the sensory and information bombardment that reduces one’s ability to discern fact from fiction. Telling the masses that there are complex processes and ideas behind the healthcare debate covers up something much more simplistic. They want the weak dead, they want the poor dead. Also, the fear of sudden expensive medical emergencies, keeps many people in line, which helps the ruling elites maintain control.
