Big
Pharma is making its move to try and kill health care reform. I just got a so
called “survey” entitle “2019 National Survey of American Senior Voters on the
Democrat “Medicare for all” Plan.” It is conducted by a group calling itself
Christian Seniors Association, a part of Traditional Families Coalition, and it
was mailed to my father, John Otto, who is now dead.
This
is an attempt to reach seniors and I’m sure they are hoping “conservative
seniors.”
It
doesn’t take long before it is clear what this survey is really for:
“We expect this survey to show Congress that the overwhelming
majority of senior voters oppose this “Medicare
for All” plan being pushed by liberals- including by every leading Democrat
Candidate for President in 2020.”
They
list all the people they plan to send this survey to including press and
congress people to try and kill Medicare for all. They explained that they only
want to hear from seniors who vote, since that is what congress people pay
attention to.
Along
with filling out their survey, which they have already told the reader how to
answer, they also want donations.
This
letter is full of scare tactics to entice seniors to oppose health care for
those who need it. Fore example on the top of
page one it says:
“Campaign to save Medicare by Stopping “Medicare for all.” Which
would lead to the Rationing
of Medical Care for Seniors.”
Also it
includes a box and line that says:
“I have enclosed my $10 Survey Processing Contribution to help cover
your cost to tabulate and process my important survey. I agree this survey of
ONE MILLION voting seniors will send a strong message to Congress that the
overwhelming majority of America’s seniors oppose the Democrats “Medicare for
All” plan—which would certainly destroy Medicare as well as bankrupt the
country.’
So
they are using scare tactics to try and convince seniors that health reform
will take away THEIR health care. It appeals to the lowest common instincts of
seniors. The message is ‘support your own health care or risk losing it due to
someone else getting their health care needs met.’ Another way of looking at it
is: ‘you have what you need, if someone else doesn’t—fuck them! Worry about
your needs and screw the needs of others. They are betting that most seniors
will worry mostly about themselves and not care at all about he needs of their
fellow citizens.
This
letter is a part of a fight-back
strategy for those who benefit from the present health care system—a
system based on the greed of big pharma and the belief that insurance companies
have the right to profit off of the illness of others. Their profit margins are
all that matter to them. Human life has no value to them at all.
Millions
of Americans may die way before they need to because the US
We
knew something like this was coming. We knew that those profiting from
insurance and sky high pharmacy prices were planning
to attack the idea of “Medicare for all.” It is important that we
become aware of such tactics and try to counter them.
We
need to attack the insurance companies directly. They need to go. They are
parasites and although a lot of people in this country “like their insurance”
They do not realize how unnecessary those entities are. They need to be
educated to the idea that insurance companies exist to take money out of the
medical system and they provide no other needs. We also need to remind people that
there is a reason they can’t afford the medicines their doctor prescribes.
This battle
won’t be easy, but many people are fed up with a medical system where they can’t
afford the medicines their doctors prescribe them. The insurance companies and
big pharma will try and confuse people with ideas meant to kill health care
reform. We need to fight back and we need to fight back hard. Everyone needs to
take part. If you receive one of these letters, send the envelope back with cat
poop rather than money.
Let’s fight back! The battle is on!
