The Health-Care Debate?

There are two sides to the Health-Care debate fueled by two distinctive motives. On one side are large corporations who's motive are profit, large ungodly amounts of profit (profits that should become illegal as they're at the expense of human lives). On the other side are elected officials, people we elected to make real change in this country like our Health-Care system. This group is motivated by ensuring the promises they made to the American People. This has not always been so, especially for the last 8 years but we have new hope in our new president and so far he's keeping his promises.

So quick Motive recap,

Side A = "Greedy Profiteering at the expense of human lives"
Side B = "A promise to the American People to give quality and affordable Health-Care to all"

If there is a real debate here, if under the pretenses of the argument that a real debate is even possible, then I fear for the future of mankind. If people can be so ignorantly belligerent in defending a system which ultimately is killing them, if people can be so easily manipulated by corporate interest groups. lobbyists and politicians and have an inability to think for themselves then the greatest fear is already realized. A mind controlled is not a mind at all.

I think it's easy to see the Health-Care lobbyist, interest groups and pocketed politicians are feeding off the prejudices and ignorance of a dwindling population. At least there is hope in that, that this racist, ignorant and easily manipulated group of people are becoming less and less, evident by our new president, I can guarantee you not one of his votes came from this sad group of people.

We the intelligent, thoughtful, caring and completely imperfect yet striving to be better people are growing, are getting smarter, are becoming more aware. We're tired of the status-quo, we know what's right and what is wrong and even if we do have prejudices to pray on, we're aware and ashamed of them and will not let them guide our judgment.
