Where is the will of the people? O of course now I remember, it is on life support. Why would I say that the will of the people is on life support; well I'll tell you why. It is our healthcare, and contrary to many other issues it will kill you. It will kill your friends, your families and everyone close to you.
But before it does it will drain you dry, it will take your house, your car and all of your worldly processions. Then it will be you with the worn unwashed cloths. Slowly wasting away on the steps of the hospitals of the greatest nation on earth. A bottle of liquor on the ground next to you as you try to forget what promise your life had. What dreams you had, the un-reached summits, and a life never truly lived.
As quality healthcare becomes more and more un affordable to the average American this not a vision out of a novel fiction, this is quickly becoming a reality for many.
Saint George slayed the dragon, Hercules slayed the Hydra, we face a monster more fearsome than any dragon, and more challenging than any Hydra. We face our most dangerous enemy, our own apathy, our own complacency. This is the enemy of virtue, an enemy greater than any King, and that is our willingness to concede defeat to this criminal syndicate of an industry. Earlier I said wealth was not evil, what was evil was how it was used and acquired.
This industry as it is in America is an evil. A conscious and deadly evil whose only purpose is to make a profit. Until it is reformed or prohibited it will continue to do harm to our society to our brothers and sisters, to ourselves.
