Greetinx from the foothills of Central Massachusetts, where we just got front page news of some Democrats winning. So what? As you can see from the lackadaisical glance this cow is givin' you, nothing's going to change for the working class.
That cow's healthy, youbetcha - and that's why we chose her - to represent our bloated, for profit as well as supposedly 'non-profit' healthcare industrial complex.
She's the perfect mascot; the udderly ideal symbol, the best analogy we could think of!
In light of what passed for healthcare reform back on April 12 of this year, we here @ URL aren't the least bit taken aback with any kind of high hopes that things will improve, nor will the cost of living magically be reduced for the working woman/man in the trenches of self-employment; not with the proposed INDIVIDUAL INSURANCE MANDATE staring them in the face.
This scary and quite frankly egregious item in the legislation speaks volumes to industry influence.
And as the entire bill is splayed out over 145 pages (and counting?), we as working stiffs have neither the time, patience, or desire to sift through and find how we're going to be screwed on July 7th, 2007, the date set for the mandate to kick in. Nor are we well versed in legalese, which would no doubt be a must for deciphering such a document. But hey, we know we're not intended to understand it.
Therefore, what the URL hopes to accomplish is to get some discussion going among the disaffected, soon to be affected and others from whom after-tax dollars will be collected, no matter how much they might have objected!
All ensuing posts, therefore, will be satirical in nature. Hells bells, rage - even rage against the machine, however justified or seemingly necessary, gets you nowhere.
