The American Broken System cannot all be blamed on Trump

I just had to put this video up as when I saw the Tweet about someone having to pay a $350 / £250 receipt for 3 prescriptions I could not believe it.

You may think the USA has the best health system in the world and all that crap that is easily found to be BS by statistics and comparisons with other western nations.

However never ever have we in the UK had to pay more than £10 for a prescription.

I used to pay £100 for a years pre-payment card and I could get all my many prescriptions on that card. I used to get so many prescriptions a month that I worked out that I would have forked out about £15,000 (using UK prices from the NICE – NHS book on drugs and just the no of times I had to visit the chemist by £8.60), on prescriptions a year using UK prices which is crazy enough but if I had to use US prices – goodbye – meet you at my graveside.

This is due to repeat prescriptions for my pain care and other related issues which see me going down the chemist almost every other day. I would hate to see that in dollars under Obamacare or Trumpcare or whatever failing system you have in the US but luckily we have the NHS and they give us the option of buying a pre-payment card to save money if you have lots of prescriptions to collect or if you are unemployed or on the sick you get them for free.

Call it socialism – call it whatever it you like but I would rather live in a country that by all means is still neo-liberal and a war mongering, US ass kissing, Capitalist society that created a health system where people do not have to go bankrupt just to collect prescriptions.

No wonder people are using the Internet or going to Canada to get them.

A country which pays an extra $800 billion to the military, the largest in the world, and of a size that is so bloated with so many weapons already they are rusting away or being handed out to local police forces. Just like the tank in Ferguson or other militarized police zones along with Baltimore and their fake guns to plant on the side of bodies that they kill during duty to ensure they don’t get caught or done for any kind of police brutality.

Can you tell from this photo whether these are the police who are supposed to serve and protect you or a SEAL team ready to engage a Taliban fortress?

Militarized Police
Can you tell the difference between Cops and Soldiers

So for one I cannot believe that someone would pay $48 for 3 prescriptions (just under £30), as she complained in her Tweet after saying that it was due to Trump and that a year ago she would only be paying $48.

I just cannot believe that the richest country on the world puts up with this when they literally make money out of thin air, not backed by anything like Gold just the “promise” to pay the owner back.

However they only decide to spend these digital 1’s and 0’s on banking computing screens on maintaining the US Empire, rather than helping the people at home with job programs, strong unions that get to sit on wage boards as in Germany. Where the workers actually get to decide how much their CEO and managers get.

Can you imagine Walmart implementing that idea?

The thing is, it works well and the co-operatives that use this system have flourished and made some great products as all the people in the company feel as if they have something to contribute and fairness can be smelt in the air, unlike the giant farts that people smell when forced to work at Walmart and still using SNAP cards.

Luckily they will also soon to have Donald Trumps personally picked selection of non perishable tinned goods sent to them so that they don’t waste their cards buying a chocolate bar.

US Social Security, something the people all pay into but is the first to be cut when they need to “balance the budget” after all the Democrats and Republicans have thrown more billions of unfunded money to the US Empires war chest.

This isn’t what the video below is really about but it shows the hypocrisy of blaming Trump for everything when in reality he hasn’t changed much from Obama.

The wars are still raging, the drones still flying, the NSA still spying and the US infrastructure all across the United States is in appalling condition. This cannot all be blamed on Trump.

Maybe a bit of socialism tried apart from all the socialist programs you already have such as the Roads, Bin Men, Schools, Fire brigades, Medicare, Police, Social Security etc etc would do some good and open a few eyes.

I just cannot get over someone having to pay $350/£250 for 3 prescriptions.

Here we can pay around a half of that and get as many prescriptions as we need for a whole year. The price we pay at the chemist is fixed at around £8.60, whatever the cost of the drug. Therefore I could be prescribed a pack of drugs worth £200 but still only pay $8.60.

So Mr Trump do you still think the NHS is crap and that we should move to a more US system?

The video goes into how Democrats and Republicans are basically looking after their own asses than the public and how they all back slap each other between putting on Punch and Judy shows for the MSM. This was just a video I was watching I had to jump out of bed and write about due to the prices they were talking about in the tweets related to medicine. It was just unbelievable to me.
