When "Health Care" Kills

Please take a look at my Medical Holocaust blog.

There is a slight disparity in the number of iatrogenic deaths in Blacks, Whites and Hispanics with Blacks fairing the worst. Moreover millions of Americans are killed and maimed each year by preventable medical errors and again, Black fair slightly worse.

Please to speak to this as not only a Black issue but as a human issue.

The corporate gangsters who run US health care don't see it as a Black or White issues because to them it is strictly a green issue and they don't really care who they kill or maim.

The US pays 3 times the world average for health care. US health care is ranked 37th in the world.

Please speak to this medical holocaust.

"There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized."

The founders of the American state understood that the proper functioning of a democracy required an educated electorate. It is this understanding that justifies a system of public education and that led slaveholders to resist the spread of literacy among their chattels. But the meaning of "educated" has changed beyond recognition in two hundred years. Reading, writing, and arithmetic are no longer sufficient to decide on public policy. Now we need quantum mechanics and molecular biology. The knowledge required for political rationality, once available to the masses, is now in the possession of a specially educated elite, a situation that creates a series of tensions and contradictions in the operation of representative democracy.

"At present the population of the world is increasing at about 58,000 per diem. War, so far, has had no very great effect on this increase, which continued throughout each of the world wars.. War has hitherto been disappointing in this respect, but perhaps bacteriological war may prove effective. If a Black Death could spread throughout the world once in every generation, survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full. The state of affairs might be unpleasant, but what of it?"
