i would love to see this country move to being an actual democracy. They could start by say, guaranteeing everyone the right to health. That would be nice. 30% of people in the US without insurance are between the ages of 19 and 29. why? because of ...
a. the shitty economy. they can't find jobs
b. stringent insurance company rules knocking them off their parents insurance, even if they are still in school
c. they can find jobs, and jobs they love, but they are at small businesses that can't afford insurance because it costs the low low price of your firstborn child.
It's obscene. Much smaller democracies offer free national health care, and we are supposed to be pioneers in liberty? In Sweden, birth control is FREE! absolutely FREE! In between the ages of 15 and 19, only 10 out of every 1000 girls becomes pregnant. Knock that number up to 70 per 1000 in the US. The United States has both the highest teenage pregnancy rate and highest teenage abortion rate in the developed world. I have insurance, and it still costs me $15/month for my pills. Go to Planned Parenthood, the only alternative for low-income females without insurance, and you still have to fork over $21/month. Some assinine politicians bitch and moan about abortion and how it is so BLASPHEMOUS, yet what they hell are they doing for me? A whole lotta nothing. Instead of giving me free health benefits, they are smashing the economy and making sure that any form of health insurance stays well out of my reach.
thanks a lot boys. just don't bitch about the teenage pregnancy rate. that's your own doing.
