POPSCapitalism again proves to the the source of the problem
This article is a must-read. The unfair capitalist healthcare system causes a glut on doctors in rich areas where they can earn more, and a sparsity in areas where they would earn less, like poor communities. Do people still think that America can get by without reforming Healthcare? Doctor's salaries need to be standardized, so a doctor working in a dirt-poor area of Arkansas is going make the same amount (by scale of skill) as a doctor in Malibu, California. 50 million uninsured Americans, and another 50 million underinsured Americans are too many people to be excluded from proper, complete healthcare. It's criminal, and amoral. C'mon, all you right-wingers! Don't you think that women and newborn children dying from perfectly preventable causes during childbirth is more important that wondering if federal money is going to perform abortions? Don't you think that people ending up losing limbs or eyesight due to lack of care for their diabetes is more important than getting all work

POPSHow to Pay for Healthcare Reform The US's corrupt commercial healthcare system wastes nearly as much money each year as it will cost to reform healthcare. Read the whole article and decide; do you want your money going toward providing good healthcare for all, or continuing to finance the fraud and waste in the current US healthcare system?

POPSHoax! The Baucus Bill has done plenty to rape the idea of meaningful healthcare reform.

POPSFrauds in the News Whether it's Balloon Boy, or the mythical idea that healthcare reform will raise premiums, people are paying far too much attention to fake productions in the news. Meanwhile, Glen Beck is still full of shite.

POPSShameful! Yet another reason why America needs to dump commerical, for-profit healthcare for a more sensible, fair Universal Healthplan.

POPSMore American Health Insurance Insanity And people are still trying to get people to believe that commercial health insurance is better than government healthcare? Utter insanity. In the victim's native Philippines, she wouldn't have to deal with insanity like this. America, just get over your irrational phobia of socialized healthcare, and get universal healthcare already. The rest of the industrialized world has already realized that a healthcare system based on commercial healthcare is criminal unfair, and utterly flawed in its basic concept. The rest of the industrialized world having healthcare systems that outrank America's dismal 37th place rating is another clue that only lunatics don't want socialized medicine.

POPSToo much money going to Defense The US spent over 3 times as much on the wars in the Middle East this year than Healthcare Reform will cost over 5 years, even in its most expensive form. Something is definitely wrong with this situation. The government is willing to spend trillions on killing brown people, but quails at spending mere billions on taking care of Americans' health for a change. There are pre-existing conditions, and those conditions are greed and hate.

POPSMisrepresentation Kooks, freaks and other Kool-Aid drinkers have tried to present themselves as "true Americans". People need to stand up and show the nation, and the world, that real Americans want healthcare reform. Americans deserve better than having to pay the most for the worst healthcare of all industrialized nations.

POPSBiggest Buffoon in South Carolina Joe Wilson, the Kool-Aid-drinking Republican't who yelled "You Lie!" at the president while he was debunking right-wing myths and lies about healthcare reform, has a new fan in the last politician to be an abject disgrace to the state.

POPSThe Destructive Power of the Free Market Considering what a horrible, overpriced mess most "Free Market" industries are right now, it's utter nonsense for people to try to paint government control as a bad thing. Despite the Chicken-Little-like cries of the Right Wing saying Medicare is broke, it continues to pay for good healthcare for people, without increasing the deficit at all. Free Market Loonies are just so obsessed with profits that they can't tell the difference between a program running in the black, and being "Broke".

POPSThe Healthcare Reform Debate There's the rational debate, on the Left and in the Centre; and then there's the Flakes on the Right screaming that the sky is falling. Can you spot the lunatic in this comic?

POPSRemembering Ted Kennedy's Passing There is no better time than now to get the government off their high horses and to work passing meaningful, comprehensive healthcare reform, in the memory of the one member of the Senate that did more to try to bring it to fruition than anyone. What better memorial for him can there be than 100 million people with currently no or insufficient healthcare receiving the healthcare they need the most?

POPSThe Pot calling the Kettle Whacked Right-Wing nutjobs are turning the dialogue about Healthcare Reform into screaming matches about fictional fears, because they're scared that they're going to lose the massive profits they've been able to rape out of the American People up to date for Health Insurance.

POPSGiving Thanks where Thanks is Due The parasites that are sucking blood money out of Americans for substandard healthcare definitely thank the naïve, gullible Town Hall Disrupter Sheep and the well-paid Right-Wing Shills for spreading outright lies about Healthcare Reform, making people think that it's something that it isn't. Those people are doing their part to ensure that more people die due to insufficient or substandard healthcare, that more people go bankrupt trying to pay when they do get hurt or sick, and that the income gap between the rich and the poor continues to grow to record levels. If you see someone spreading lies about Healthcare Reform; whether due to ignorance, or malice; correct them. Tell them the truth, and point them toward http://www.whitehouse.gov/realitycheck/?e=10&ref=text and FactCheck.org to debunk those vicious mischaracterizations of something that will help everyone in the US (except the rich)

POPSThe Truth About Canadian Healthcare If you're in a nation with universal healthcare, I urge you to go to the source site and sign the petition to the US media. Don't let the opponents of Healthcare Reform paint a deceitful picture of Universal Healthcare. Sign the petition, and leave a comment about just what Universal Healthcare means to you and how shameful American Healthcare is.

POPSReally, Chuck? Then why do polls say that 65% of Americans want Healthcare Reform? Chuck Asay is a typical right-wing propaganda cartoonist, paid to support the views of the Corporate Media that wants to keep Medical Insurance Companies raping Americans for substandard care. It's easy to make it seem like healthcare reform is unpopular by paying (or conning; after all, they are capitalists, and conning people is cheaper) people to voice Corporate opinions as if they were their own, but the vast majority of people at those townhall meetings (the polite, respectful ones) WANT meaningful healthcare; many of them actually wanting Universal Healthcare (it works well in 19 out of 20 G20 nations)

POPSBullies getting prepared to spread fear Bringing guns to Town Hall Meetings!!? What kind of crazy $&#(&^s are these people!? I don't care if you have the damn right to carry the guns; it doesn't mean that you should in a situation like that. Or maybe they're intentionally trying to scare people away from meaningful healthcare reform. This isn't free speech; it's the politics of terrorists. Time to start calling these gun-toting menaces what they really are... Terrorists.

POPSYou want these guys on board, why? The GOP is in the pocket of the Big Health Insurance and Big Drug, so of course all they're going to do is try to undermine any real reform of healthcare. Besides, if Obama would pay attention, he'd find out that stripping away the real reform to appeal to a handful of Republican't votes is going to lose him a whole bunch of Democratic support. Americans deserve, real, meaningful health reform; not another bandaid on a broken system.

POPSBullies at work They're in charge of an unfair, overpriced, underperforming system, and they like it that way; and they're willing to resort to lies, fantasy, scare tactics and bullying to keep it that way. American Healthcare is about creating profits, instead of taking care of people; and if you aren't outraged by that, then maybe you should be getting some mental health care.

POPSKilling the Truth The Crazy Conservatives are pulling out all the stops to make sure that you don't hear the real truth about Healthcare Reform. Don't let the bullies win! Stand up to them; even when the nuts bring guns for intimidation.

POPSThe Loud-Mouthed Minority Aren't these selfish, self-centred town hall disrupters interested in the will of the people being done? The vast majority of Americans are progressive, and they want this Healthcare Reform. But no, these selfish twits, who bought complete audacious and fantasy-based lies are stomping all over the First Amendment Rights of reasonable citizens to have their concerns addressed by their government. They are just making mindless noise like demented harpies, disrupting reasonable discourse because they have salient points to present and only baseless fear to debate with. When you've got no valid arguments; when you're violating the courtesy rules of civilized debate; when you've got nothing to sell but fictional fears, then yes. It's time to shut up and sit down, until you have something relevant and REAL to bring up. And rather than make a fool of your self by shouting down the grownups, read this. It will blow every single one of your false arguments out of the water.

POPSWho's Holding the Leash? Republican'ts; you are mindlessly doing the will of people who are raping you for your current, broken, overpriced, underserviced healthcare plan. Don't you feel foolish and ashamed by the fact that you're fighting to give ever more and more of your money to those parasites, just to get an ever declining level of care that still costs you an arm and a leg, and can be dropped at any moment? Don't you understand what complete and utter dupes you are? Yes, it costs money. And change costs money, but Health Care Reform will mean real savings in your pocket in the very near future! I thought that Conservatwits liked money?

POPSDeath Panel The Rabid Right is striking out with outright fantasies to try to stir up hysteria, because they fear honest, open discourse that much. What are they hiding? The rich execs of Big Health Insurance and Big Drug who are raping Americans for every last dime, driving them to bankruptcy just for very basic care that anyone in any other industrialized nation just takes for granted. America's current healthcare system is like something out of a Banana Republic. It's a disgrace to Humanity.

POPSA Comic about a Red Herring As usual, Michael Ramirez has nothing but lies and paranoia to show in his art. None of those things have been said by anyone. The Republican'ts are completely making shit up now, in order to try to scare people away from much needed healthcare reform. They've been trying to scare people away from Healthcare Reform since the 1920, and Americans have to say "No!" to them. Tell them that the loudmouthed minority doesn't represent the progressive majority of America!

POPSWho's making decisions? This manufactured "rage" is 100% due to Right-Wing Lobbyists fighting to keep the current broken, corrupt, unfair status quo intact. If you're protesting against the Healthcare Reform, then you're saying that you want the rich to stay rich, the poor to stay poor, and the middle class carrying the financial burdens of the rich.

POPSIrony, Part Two The Insurance Agencies have already told Congress that they're not going to stop denying and dropping people, based on pre-existing conditions, so the public option is absolutely essential . Where in the constitution does it say that only the rich and wealthy are worthy of getting healthcare?
