‘paradise’.. ‘utopia’ ...whatever
Elizabeth Edwards —currently a health care advisor to Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign—isn’t 100% behind the Democratic nominee’s health care plan.
Edwards complained that Obama… views healthcare as a commodity, rather than a human right. ...
said McCain’s plan fails in all important areas by leaving the decision-making process up to individuals, who can frequently “make stupid economics decisions.”
...unlike, for instance, gubbmints?
Speaking of “human rights,” wouldn’t food, water, shelter, clothing and a ‘living wage’ precede ‘health care’ in the list of ‘human rights?’ In most instances, folks can generally go years without ‘health care’ but only weeks without food and days without water.
Oh and what about InterToob access - hi speed, o’ course? I can’t go more ‘n a coupla days without that. And coffee - that’s 10 minutes tops. Eleven minutes late and I’m freakin’ out: I’m not really human without it. And yanno what else I don’t feel quite human without? Perfume. And if I can’t protect myself, I won’t be human for long, so I need my guns. And a place to train with ‘em - sloppy patterns ain’t really human, yanno. Hell a monkey can make sloppy patterns. And chocolate. Oh, and bacon—no real human can live without bacon. And steak. And tater salad. And maybe broccoli… with brown butter. And a fire place—ancient human thing; sitting with your dogs by a fire.
And I really can’t live without dogs. Or soft sofas on which to sit with those dogs. And whereinhell am I gonna get my InterToobs and put my couches and coffee maker and dogs and perfume and guns and patterns and bacon and chocolate and steak and broccoli and butter and fireplace—I’m gonna need bigger shelter, yannno.
All human rights.
