Backstory under the cut tws: familicide, emotional incest, child death
Kenneth Vinson was born in 1911 to his two parents, decently well off people living in New York City. His father worked in a marketing department for an automobile company and throughout his entire life was mostly absent due to work and other activities he hid under the claim of work. Despite his fathers alright job most of their wealth came from his mothers well off family giving her funds.
Because his father was often gone he grew up being raised solely by his mother and the two were extremely close. Unhealthily so. With her husband absent constantly she consistently used her son for emotional support and comfort. Her overbearing abuse continued until he finally left for college.
After he graduated he began work at a job at a television station behind the scenes. He worked there for several years, meeting a woman and despite his lack of attraction to her he still married her and had a kid. He was making alright money under his job though at home he still frequently complained about finances.
During auditions for one of the shows the station was considering running he was working and got called over to try for a character. He got cast and began a starting career as an actor. One that did not last long. Despite the initial success of the show it didn't last long, the brief taste of luxury beyond what he even had as a child was not something he let go of easily.
After the show ended only a couple of years after it had begun he tried out for other auditions instead of taking his previous job back, not taking long before his families finances were starting to run out. In order to achieve the life he wanted he decided to take out large life insurance policies on both his wife and daughter and wound up killing both of them.
Unknown to him a neighbor had heard some commotion and decided to come over, running away before he had even seen her and calling the police. He didn't get far before he was taken into custody and was sentenced to death, being executed of the electric chair a few months later.

“But you know, you perfumers, in the deep unfolding rose of your hearts, you know that fragrance is no automobile or table setting, no insurance policy, no Preparation H. Attempts to reduce perfume to a predictable product with which cost accountants can safely deal; attempts to own it, control it, and make it happen when the mysterious spirit is not there are fated to end in crude failure and coarse farce.
Perfuming is most unlike manufacture. And perfumers should be proud to assume our historic roles as enchanters, soul feeders, sacred pimps, and alchemists. 'Marketing people' are fine enough when it comes to peddling wares, but let us remember always that it is the perfumer, the flowermaster, the guardian of the Blue Hour, who can charm the birds and bees in the human spirit-and destroy its dinosaurs."
—Tom Robbins, Jitterbug Perfume

Our National Healthcare
I have discussed this subject before; but, especially in light of current events, I would like to discuss it again today–perhaps, even more candidly. I’ll be honest with you. If I were a member of Congress when the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), aka Obama Care, was passed, I would be angry with rejectionists like the illustrious Kentucky Colonel, Mitch McConnell. That I would have voted for that bill without hesitation. Even though, however, I was, in all honesty, really not in favor of it. I say to you, as I have said to others, the law is an exercise in masturbation. I told my friends then; and, I also, wrote President Obama, telling him that, too (He, eventually, thanked me for my letter but didn’t mention the subject of healthcare). Today, four years later, I feel even more negative toward it. This law has good intentions, but it fails the people of this country. I see a train wreck coming. It is coming, and it’s going to hit hard. When it does, the American people are going to be mad as a swarm of bees. Mark my words. Don’t forget I said it, Mister Politician.
It is anything but affordable for the masses of the people; it is confusing, bordering on being unintelligible to most; and it is so complicated and expensive, that it could drive all of us, people, and government into bankruptcy. In tackling our problem of healthcare, President Obama made the same mistake as President Clinton; in his effort to be conciliatory and bipartisan with the Republican Party, he invited the major stakeholders in the medical-industrial complex to the negotiating table, assuming that consensus there would bring reform. Who are those stakeholders? They are the pharmaceutical, hospital, physician, and insurance industries–the primary focus of all of them being profits, with the interests of the people being last on their list. They not only fought the administration on this, they fought within against themselves. I ask you. Who ever heard of the customer or client coming in first on the list of any insurance company? Really!
I submit to you that healthcare is not a commodity like oil, sugar, pork bellies, credit default swaps, housing, automobiles, and so on. Healthcare is not adaptable to or compatible with the free market (a myth at best) in any way, shape, or form. Who besides the most skilled can intelligently evaluate an insurance policy; who but the most skilled physicians can evaluate the abilities of a doctor; when you need to go to the hospital, how often is it you who has the decisive choice as to where to go; and, lastly, who of you is able and has the expertise to knowledgeably determine the proper drugs you should take when you are ill? I am certainly not qualified and neither are almost all of us.
Healthcare is a need of all of us–a need we share in common. Accordingly, it should be governed in common. Healthcare is our RIGHT. How do I justify that? It is stated as such in our Declaration of Independence. We all have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We should be allowed to have and enjoy that right. We need a system that will work, one we can afford, and one for which we can pay (Surely no one thinks it can be free). We need a single-payer, national healthcare system modeled after Medicare with, like the VA, the ability to negotiate prices.
Immediately! I hear someone cry socialism. In this individual instance, why should you care if it works? As one person once said, “It doesn’t matter if the cat is white or the cat is black. The cat we want is the one that catches Mice” (or something like that). A single-payer healthcare system will catch mice. If we were talking about the whole country going socialist, we would need, I would think, to sit down and have a long talk about the matter–a very long talk. In this instance, however, no one is even thinking about that. We already know socialism has failed as a whole, so this isn’t even the subject of the matter. We need a system that works for us.
Let me tell you about that word, socialism. The word socialism is inflammatory; used, primarily, to arouse and anger people to influence their minds in one direction or another. To most people, it is something bad, from which one will turn away with rejection. We hear it every day from those who don’t believe in government, usually some form of anarchists. It usually comes from those who want to control your mind and lead you in the direction they want you to go. Do you need that kind of person?
I want to call your attention to a fact of the matter. When Medicare was made into law in the 1960s, it was up and running in a year. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) was passed four years ago and still is not working, some provisions of which are being moved back even now, as we speak. Medicare, on the other hand, has been in effect for over forty years and working just fine even now. How about that? Our illustrious politicians haven’t been willing to even so much as give single-payer national healthcare a national hearing for consideration. Is that Democracy?
How should we pay for such a plan? I have given a lot of thought to the matter and changed my mind from when I first wrote about “single payer”. Please allow me to bring another issue into the picture, Social Security. This safety net, also, is moving forward to the day when our government allows it to become a national crisis. Social Security, to the best of my knowledge, is one of the most efficient, well-run programs, with the lowest costs of administration of any other government program. A big reason for this success is that the fund is “stand-alone”, “self-funding”, and not included in our general budget. In this way, it is highly controlled and does not affect our national deficit. Our biggest problem with financing this program is, in my mind, five-fold, the recession in our economy, the retirement of our “baby boom” generation, and our massive unemployment (Whereas, in the past we had more people paying than those receiving benefits, we now have less paying in–I am told only three paying in now for twelve receiving.), the aging of our people, and increasing disabled coming onto the rolls. Payments into this fund have to be increased, and cutting benefits and cost of living adjustments is unacceptable. Having said that, raising payroll taxes on employers and employees (the money is going to have to come from somewhere) will create additional hardship and political tensions no one needs or can stand just now.
Let’s now get back to the question (or issue) of single-payer healthcare. It, too, must be financed. Again, it’s not free. It will be expensive, but it will be a lot less expensive than Obamacare–a lot less. I might, also, call your attention to the fact we are not feeling the full pain of even our current healthcare expenses, as exaggerated as they are. We are paying for a lot of them “on the cuff”–it’s in our deficit. But I digress. We should administer single-payer healthcare in the same manner as we do Social Security, with a stand-alone fund into which go all receipts and out of which go all disbursements. In no way should the accounting for healthcare be mingled with the accounting for government. In no way should healthcare funding be allowed to affect our deficit. Tax rates for payments into both the healthcare and the Social Security funds should be automatically adjusted annually for any expense overruns or surpluses. So I am not confused, in no way should our stand-alone healthcare fund be co-mingled with our Social Security fund. The accounting for both must be kept completely separate and open to the public.
Now, let’s get to the question for which you have been so patiently waiting (if we have come this far and you are still with me, you must be patient). How should we pay for this? I believe we should create two separate and apart national Federal Sales Taxes, a separate sales tax for each fund. For states that presently have sales taxes, we should take advantage of their systems to prevent duplication in costs, using them for collection. For states without sales taxes, currently, they should set up a system and be reimbursed by the government for collection. These taxes should be itemized separately on every sales receipt, separate from those of the state.
In conclusion, what will we accomplish by all this?
We will have a national single-payer cradle-to-the-grave healthcare system, the cost of which will be much more acceptable to the taxpayer.
We should save trillions of dollars by eliminating insurance profits and reducing healthcare costs by allowing the government to negotiate prices (this suggestion presumes that healthcare remains private and the government is the single-payer). Additional savings should, also, be realized by increased efficiencies.
Employer and employee payroll taxes will be eliminated, a boon to both and a stimulus to the economy.
Healthcare will no longer be a “monkey” on the back of business.
The pressure for reduced work weeks will be eliminated.
Uncertainty of the future will be reduced and businesses will be better able to plan.
The adjustments and uncertainty surrounding both healthcare and Social Security will be resolved, and the tax rates will be adjusted annually.
The immense and horrendous worry by our people will be significantly reduced.
And last, but not least, hopefully our people will be more at ease and stable.
Let’s quit fighting. Let’s quit arguing and bickering and quit the politicking and put our country first. We must pull together and get the job done. Let us implement single-payer healthcare and protect our Social Security. This is just one more step in taking back our country from the “power elite”, our Shadow Government. Get with your representatives today. Unlike those of whom we spoke, above, we can’t pay them off, but we can let them know where we stand and how we vote. Respectfully, From: Steven P.

Once You See the Truth About Cars, You Can’t Unsee It https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/15/opinion/car-ownership-inequality.html
By Andrew Ross and Julie Livingston
Mr. Ross and Ms. Livingston are professors at New York University, members of its Prison Education Program Research Lab and authors of the book “Cars and Jails: Freedom Dreams, Debt, and Carcerality.”
In American consumer lore, the automobile has always been a “freedom machine” and liberty lies on the open road. “Americans are a race of independent people” whose “ancestors came to this country for the sake of freedom and adventure,” the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce’s soon-to-be-president, Roy Chapin, declared in 1924. “The automobile satisfies these instincts.” During the Cold War, vehicles with baroque tail fins and oodles of surplus chrome rolled off the assembly line, with Native American names like Pontiac, Apache, Dakota, Cherokee, Thunderbird and Winnebago — the ultimate expressions of capitalist triumph and Manifest Destiny.
But for many low-income and minority Americans, automobiles have been turbo-boosted engines of inequality, immobilizing their owners with debt, increasing their exposure to hostile law enforcement, and in general accelerating the forces that drive apart haves and have-nots.
Though progressive in intent, the Biden administration’s signature legislative achievements on infrastructure and climate change will further entrench the nation’s staunch commitment to car production, ownership and use. The recent Inflation Reduction Act offers subsidies for many kinds of vehicles using alternative fuel, and should result in real reductions in emissions, but it includes essentially no direct incentives for public transit — by far the most effective means of decarbonizing transport. And without comprehensive policy efforts to eliminate discriminatory policing and predatory lending, merely shifting to electric from combustion will do nothing to reduce car owners’ ever-growing risk of falling into legal and financial jeopardy, especially those who are poor or Black.
By the 1940s, African American car owners had more reason than anyone to see their vehicles as freedom machines, as a means to escape, however temporarily, redlined urban ghettos in the North or segregated towns in the South. But their progress on roads outside of the metro core was regularly obstructed by the police, threatened by vigilante assaults, and stymied by owners of whites-only restaurants, lodgings and gas stations. Courts granted the police vast discretionary authority to stop and search for any one of hundreds of code violations — powers that they did not apply evenly. Today, officers make more than 50,000 traffic stops a day. Driving while Black has become a major route to incarceration — or much worse. When Daunte Wright was killed by a police officer in April 2021, he had been pulled over for an expired registration tag on his car’s license plate. He joined the long list of Black drivers whose violent and premature deaths at the hands of police were set in motion by a minor traffic infraction — Sandra Bland (failure to use a turn signal), Maurice Gordon (alleged speeding), Samuel DuBose (missing front license plate) and Philando Castile and Walter Scott (broken taillights) among them. Despite widespread criticism of the flimsy pretexts used to justify traffic stops, and the increasing availability of cellphone or police body cam videos, the most recent data shows that the number of deaths from police-driver interactions is almost as high as it has been over the past five years.
In the consumer arena, cars have become tightly sprung debt traps. The average monthly auto loan payment crossed $700 for the first time this year, which does not include insurance or maintenance costs. Subprime lending and longer loan terms of up to 84 months have resulted in a doubling of auto loan debt over the last decade and a notable surge in the number of drivers who are “upside down”— owing more money than their cars are worth. But, again, the pain is not evenly distributed. Auto financing companies often charge nonwhite consumers higher interest rates than white consumers, as do insurers.
Formerly incarcerated buyers whose credit scores are depressed from inactivity are especially red meat to dealers and predatory lenders. In our research, we spoke to many such buyers who found it easier, upon release from prison, to acquire expensive cars than to secure an affordable apartment. Some, like LeMarcus, a Black Brooklynite (whose name has been changed to protect his privacy under ethical research guidelines), discovered that loans were readily available for a luxury vehicle but not for the more practical car he wanted. Even with friends and family willing to help him with a down payment, after he spent roughly five years in prison, his credit score made it impossible to get a Honda or “a regular car.” Instead, relying on a friend to co-sign a loan, he was offered a high-interest loan on a pre-owned Mercedes E350. LeMarcus knew it was a bad deal, but the dealer told him the bank that would have financed a Honda “wanted a more solid foundation, good credit, income was showing more,” but that to finance the Mercedes, it “was actually willing to work with the people with lower credit and lower down payments.” We interviewed many other formerly incarcerated people who followed a similar path, only to see their cars repossessed.
Did you know you can share 10 gift articles a month, even with nonsubscribers?
Share this article.
LeMarcus was “car rich, cash poor,” a common and precarious condition that can have serious legal consequences for low-income drivers, as can something as simple as a speeding ticket. A $200 ticket is a meaningless deterrent to a hedge fund manager from Greenwich, Conn., who is pulled over on the way to the golf club, but it could be a devastating blow to those who mow the fairways at the same club. If they cannot pay promptly, they will face cascading penalties. If they cannot take a day off work to appear in court, they risk a bench warrant or loss of their license for debt delinquency. Judges in local courts routinely skirt the law of the land (in Supreme Court decisions like Bearden v. Georgia and Timbs v. Indiana) by disregarding the offender’s ability to pay traffic debt. At the request of collection agencies, they also issue arrest or contempt warrants for failure to appear in court on unpaid auto loan debts. With few other options to travel to work, millions of Americans make the choice to continue driving even without a license, which means their next traffic stop may land them in jail.
The pathway that leads from a simple traffic fine to financial insolvency or detention is increasingly crowded because of the spread of revenue policing intended to generate income from traffic tickets, court fees and asset forfeiture. Fiscally squeezed by austerity policies, officials extract the funds from those least able to pay. This is not only an awful way to fund governments; it is also a form of backdoor, regressive taxation that circumvents voters’ input.
Deadly traffic stops, racially biased predatory lending and revenue policing have all come under public scrutiny of late, but typically they are viewed as distinct realms of injustice, rather than as the interlocking systems that they are. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it: A traffic stop can result in fines or arrest; time behind bars can result in repossession or a low credit score; a low score results in more debt and less ability to pay fines, fees and surcharges. Championed as a kind of liberation, car ownership — all but mandatory in most parts of the country — has for many become a vehicle of capture and control.
Industry boosters promise us that technological advances like on-demand transport, self-driving electric vehicles and artificial intelligence-powered traffic cameras will smooth out the human errors that lead to discrimination, and that car-sharing will reduce the runaway costs of ownership. But no combination of apps and cloud-based solutions can ensure that the dealerships, local municipalities, courts and prison industries will be willing to give up the steady income they derive from shaking down motorists.
Aside from the profound need for accessible public transportation, what could help? Withdraw armed police officers from traffic duties, just as they have been from parking and tollbooth enforcement in many jurisdictions. Introduce income-graduated traffic fines. Regulate auto lending with strict interest caps and steep penalties for concealing fees and add-ons and for other well-known dealership scams. Crack down hard on the widespread use of revenue policing. And close the back door to debtors’ prisons by ending the use of arrest warrants in debt collection cases. Without determined public action along these lines, technological advances often end up reproducing deeply rooted prejudices. As Malcolm X wisely said, “Racism is like a Cadillac; they bring out a new model every year.”

What is General Insurance?
General insurance, also known as non-life insurance, is a financial product that provides protection against various risks, excluding life-related risks. Unlike life insurance, which pays out benefits upon the policyholder’s death or maturity, general insurance policies offer coverage for specific contingencies, such as accidents, theft, property damage, and liability claims.
Key Categories of General Insurance
Health Insurance:
Health insurance policies cover medical expenses incurred due to illness, injury, or accidents. They can include individual health plans, family floater policies, and group health insurance provided by employers.
Motor Insurance:
Motor insurance encompasses policies for automobiles, including cars, motorcycles, and commercial vehicles. The two primary types are:
Third-party liability insurance, which covers damages and injuries caused to third parties.
Comprehensive insurance, which also covers damages to the insured vehicle.
Home Insurance:
Home insurance protects your residence and its contents against various risks, including fire, theft, natural disasters, and structural damage. It includes building insurance and content insurance.
Travel Insurance:
Travel insurance provides coverage for unforeseen events while traveling, such as trip cancellations, medical emergencies, baggage loss, and personal liability.
Property Insurance:
Property insurance extends beyond homes and covers commercial properties, warehouses, and other assets. It safeguards against fire, theft, vandalism, and natural disasters.
Liability Insurance:
Liability insurance protects individuals and businesses from legal claims arising from injuries, damages, or accidents for which they may be held responsible. Examples include professional liability insurance, public liability insurance, and product liability insurance.
Marine Insurance:
Marine insurance covers goods and cargo transported via sea, air, or land. It mitigates risks associated with damage, theft, or loss during transit.

Legal Requirements: In many countries, certain types of general insurance, such as motor insurance, are mandatory by law to protect third parties in case of accidents.
Peace of Mind: Knowing that you have insurance coverage gives peace of mind, reducing stress and anxiety related to potential risks.
Risk Management: General insurance allows individuals and businesses to manage risks effectively by transferring them to insurance companies.
How to Choose the Right General Insurance Coverage
Assess Your Needs: Identify the specific risks you want to protect against and assess your budget to determine the coverage you require.
Research Insurers: Compare policies and quotes from different insurance companies to find the most suitable option for your needs.
Understand Policy Terms: Carefully read and understand the terms and conditions, including coverage limits, deductibles, and exclusions.
Seek Professional Advice: Consult with insurance agents or brokers who can provide expert guidance on selecting the right coverage.
Review Regularly: Reevaluate your insurance needs regularly, especially when major life events occur, such as marriage, the birth of a child, or buying a new home or vehicle.
Conclusion
General insurance is a crucial component of financial planning, offering protection against a wide range of non-life risks. Whether it’s safeguarding your health, home, vehicle, or business, having the right general insurance coverage can provide peace of mind and financial security when you need it most. By understanding the different types of general insurance and assessing your needs, you can make informed decisions to ensure your protection in an unpredictable world.

Benefits Of Investing in Real Estate
Are you on the hunt for a savvy investment that will yield advantageous long-term benefits? Look no further because the current king on the throne of investments is real estate! Investing in real estate is guaranteed to yield far superior results in comparison to any other investment opportunity out there.
Capital Appreciation
Let's be candid, when investing in any asset, we all have hopes that the value will increase. However, many depreciate with time, such as automobiles, bikes, and technological gadgets like mobile phones or laptops. But, with real estate, the opposite is true! The value of a property purchased today is projected to increase over the coming years due to rental incomes and the appreciation of residential real estate. The icing on the cake is that if you decide to sell your property in the future, chances are you'll make a profit!
2. Easily Build Equity
Have you ever reflected on how buying a home could pave the way to building equity? Let's break it down for you. Once you complete your final mortgage payment, your assets begin to accumulate, and your property transforms into a firm foundation for expanding your monetary worth. As your equity increases, you gain the freedom to purchase additional properties and receive a higher cash flow. This situation is beneficial for all parties, resulting in a symbiotic outcome.
3. Long Term Security
In our fast-paced world, we often crave the instant gratification of easy money without any entanglements. But we mustn't forget that such money can be flimsy and fleeting. On the other hand, putting down roots in residential real estate at a young age can provide you with lifelong stability. Renting out these properties as co-living spaces offers a profitable opportunity to dip your toes into the world of commercial or residential real estate.
4. Tax Benefits
Worried about the harsh taxes that plague real estate investments? Fear not, as co-living spaces can act as your knight in shining armor. You don't have to fret about property taxes, mortgage rates, property management interest, repairs, or insurance policies when your property is a soaring success story. Say goodbye to tax worries and welcome extra income with open arms!
5. Diversification
Investment opportunities come in all shapes and sizes - from trading stocks to buying luxury cars. However, we must remember that life is an unpredictable rollercoaster, and stocks may plummet in value overnight. During such episodes of market turmoil, real estate remains our reliable companion, steadily appreciating in value and serving as a steady and dependable fallback option. Placing all our eggs in one basket is unwise and risky. Therefore, diversification is key - and investing in REAL ESTATE is certainly one of those doors worth knocking on!
6. Multiple Income Source
Transforming your dwelling into a co-living utopia is a masterful strategy to cultivate myriad money making channels. Infusing your residence with communal vibes taps into the burgeoning trend of shared living, satisfying the needs of renters seeking flexible and budget-friendly accommodations. Converting your personal space into a co-living hub is a stellar opportunity to optimize your investment and broaden your fiscal horizons.
7. Leverage
Investing in real estate during your youth is a stroke of brilliance. You see, your CIBIL score tends to be at its prime during this time, and if you've got a hefty chunk of change for the down payment, you can take out a loan to cover the rest. The cherry on top? You don't have to wait until the debt is paid off to call yourself a property owner. It's a wise decision, indeed. But hold on, what if you're no spring chicken? Fret not, because it's never too late to hop on the real estate bandwagon!
8. Tangible Asset
Real estate investing is akin to holding a tangible treasure. You can physically touch it, see it's worth firsthand, and enjoy the feeling of absolute ownership. It's not some abstract, intangible investment like stocks or bonds. Nay, it's a concrete, solid asset that can provide stability and financial security. Owning property not only means you have a roof over your head, but it's also an investment that always has the potential to grow. Whether you opt to rent it out or sell it later, your investment continues to be a beacon of peace and security. All in all, if you're on the hunt for a reliable, smart long-term investment plan, real estate is a savvy bet.
Are you seeking to make your mark in the real estate game? Well, listen up because your 20s is prime time to make that happen! Investing in property can be a seriously shrewd financial decision, and converting your real estate into a co-living hub is the savvy choice to make. Luckily, companies like 'Xtra Income Homes' have streamlined the process, making it simple for you to get started on your investment journey. Simply head to their website via the link below, and discover all the tools and knowledge you need to make your mark on the property ladder:
Remember, with so many options out there, it's all about taking your time and finding the property that truly speaks to you. The perfect investment home is waiting just for you!

Our National Healthcare
I have discussed this subject before; but, especially in light of current events, I would like to discuss it again today–perhaps, even more candidly. I’ll be honest with you. If I were a member of Congress when the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), aka Obama Care, was passed, I would be angry with rejectionists like the illustrious Kentucky Colonel, Mitch McConnell. That I would have voted for that bill without hesitation. Even though, however, I was, in all honesty, really not in favor of it. I say to you, as I have said to others, the law is an exercise in self-gratification. I told my friends then; and, I also, wrote President Obama, telling him that, too (He, eventually, thanked me for my letter but didn’t mention the subject of healthcare). Today, four years later, I feel even more negative toward it. This law has good intentions, but it fails the people of this country. I see a train wreck coming. It is coming, and it’s going to hit hard. When it does, the American people are going to be mad as a swarm of bees. Mark my words. Don’t forget I said it, Mister Politician.
It is anything but affordable for the masses of the people; it is confusing, bordering on being unintelligible to most; and it is so complicated and expensive, that it could drive all of us, people, and government into bankruptcy. In tackling our problem of healthcare, President Obama made the same mistake as President Clinton; in his effort to be conciliatory and bipartisan with the Republican Party, he invited the major stakeholders in the medical-industrial complex to the negotiating table, assuming that consensus there would bring reform. Who are those stakeholders? They are the pharmaceutical, hospital, physician, and insurance industries–the primary focus of all of them being profits, with the interests of the people being last on their list. They not only fought the administration on this, they fought within against themselves. I ask you. Who ever heard of the customer or client coming in first on the list of any insurance company? Really!
I submit to you that healthcare is not a commodity like oil, sugar, pork bellies, credit default swaps, housing, automobiles, and so on. Healthcare is not adaptable to or compatible with the free market (a myth at best) in any way, shape, or form. Who besides the most skilled can intelligently evaluate an insurance policy; who but the most skilled physicians can evaluate the abilities of a doctor; when you need to go to the hospital, how often is it you who has the decisive choice as to where to go; and, lastly, who of you is able and has the expertise to knowledgeably determine the proper drugs you should take when you are ill? I am certainly not qualified, and neither are almost all of us.
Healthcare is a need of all of us–a need we share in common. Accordingly, it should be governed in common. Healthcare is our RIGHT. How do I justify that? It is stated as such in our Declaration of Independence. We all have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We should be allowed to have and enjoy that right. Furthermore, we require a system that will work, one we can afford, and one for which we can pay (Surely no one thinks it can be free). We also require a single-payer, national healthcare system modeled after Medicare with, like the VA, the ability to negotiate prices.
Immediately! I hear someone cry socialism. In this individual instance, why should you care if it works? As one person once said, “It doesn’t matter if the cat is white or the cat is black. The cat we want is the one that catches Mice” (or something like that). A single-payer healthcare system will catch mice. If we were talking about the whole country going socialist, we would need, I would think, to sit down and have a long talk about the matter–a very long talk. In this instance, however, no one is even thinking about that. We already know socialism has failed as a whole, so this isn’t even the subject of the matter. We require a system that works for us.
Let me tell you about that word, socialism. The word socialism is inflammatory; used, primarily, to arouse and anger people to influence their minds in one direction or another. To most people, it is something bad, from which one will turn away with rejection. We hear it every day from those who don’t believe in government, usually some form of anarchists. It often comes from those who want to control your mind and lead you in the direction they want you to go. Do you need that kind of person?
I want to call your attention to a fact of the matter. When Medicare was made into law in the 1960s, it was up and running in a year. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) was passed four years ago and still is not working, some provisions of which are being moved back even now, as we speak. Medicare, on the other hand, has been in effect for over forty years and working just fine even now. How about that? Our illustrious politicians haven’t been willing to even so much as give single-payer national healthcare a national hearing for consideration. Is that Democracy?
How should we pay for such a plan? I have given a lot of thought to the matter and changed my mind from when I first wrote about “single payer”. Please allow me to bring another issue into the picture, Social Security. This safety net, also, is moving forward to the day when our government allows it to become a national crisis. Social Security, to the best of my knowledge, is one of the most efficient, well-run programs, with the lowest costs of administration of any other government program. A big reason for this success is that the fund is “stand-alone”, “self-funding”, and not included in our general budget. In this way, it is highly controlled and does not affect our national deficit. Our biggest problem with financing this program is, in my mind, five-fold. The recession in our economy, the retirement of our baby boom generation, and our massive unemployment. Whereas, in the past we had more people paying than those receiving benefits, we now have less paying in-I am told only three paying in now for twelve receiving. The aging of our people, and increasing disabled coming onto the rolls. Payments into this fund have to be increased, and cutting benefits and cost of living adjustments is unacceptable. Having said that, raising payroll taxes on employers and employees (the money is going to have to come from somewhere) will create additional hardship and political tensions no one needs or can stand just now.
Let’s now get back to the question (or issue) of single-payer healthcare. It, too, must be financed. Again, it’s not free. It will be expensive, but it will be a lot less expensive than Obamacare–a lot less. I might, also, call your attention to the fact we are not feeling the full pain of even our current healthcare expenses, as exaggerated as they are. We are paying for a lot of them “on the cuff”–it’s in our deficit. But I digress. We should administer single-payer healthcare in the same manner as we do Social Security, with a stand-alone fund into which go all receipts and out of which go all disbursements. In no way should the accounting for healthcare be mingled with the accounting for government. In no way should healthcare funding be allowed to affect our deficit. Tax rates for payments into both the healthcare and the Social Security funds should be automatically adjusted annually for any expense overruns or surpluses. So, I am not confused, in no way should our stand-alone healthcare fund be co-mingled with our Social Security fund. The accounting for both must be kept completely separate and open to the public.
Now, let’s get to the question for which you have been so patiently waiting (if we have come this far, and you are still with me, you must be patient). How should we pay for this? I believe we should create two separate and apart national Federal Sales Taxes, a separate sales tax for each fund. For states that presently have sales taxes, we should take advantage of their systems to prevent duplication in costs, using them for collection. For states without sales taxes, currently, they should set up a system and be reimbursed by the government for collection. These taxes should be itemized separately on every sales receipt, separate from those of the state.
In conclusion, what will we accomplish by all this?
We will have a national single-payer cradle-to-the-grave healthcare system, the cost of which will be much more acceptable to the taxpayer.
We should save trillions of dollars by eliminating insurance profits and reducing healthcare costs by allowing the government to negotiate prices (this suggestion presumes that healthcare remains private, and the government is the single-payer). Additional savings should, also, be realized by increased efficiencies.
Employer and employee payroll taxes will be eliminated, a boon to both and a stimulus to the economy.
Healthcare will no longer be a “monkey” on the back of business.
The pressure for reduced work weeks will be eliminated.
Uncertainty of the future will be reduced and businesses will be better able to plan.
The adjustments and uncertainty surrounding both healthcare and Social Security will be resolved, and the tax rates will be adjusted annually.
The immense and horrendous worry by our people will be significantly reduced.
And last, but not least, hopefully our people will be more at ease and stable.
Let’s quit fighting. Let’s quit arguing, bickering and quit the politicking and put our country first. We must, pull together and get the job done and stop acting like children. Let us implement single-payer healthcare and protect our Social Security. This is just one more step in taking back our country from the “power elite”, our Shadow Government. Get with your representatives today. Unlike those of whom we spoke, above, we can’t pay them off, but we can let them know where we stand and how we vote. Respectfully, From: Steven P.
