No swine flu shots for 47 million Americans puts everyone at risk
If ever there was a reason for universal health care and a public option, it is the potential in this country for a swine flu epidemic.
Today my local newspaper, The Citizen, published an announcement that the one and only health clinic in this area will be offering flu shots for $50. The announcement included the alarming “reassurance” that “many insurance plans will cover a flu shot.”
Guess what? There are some 47 million people in this country who do not have health insurance, so flu shots will not be covered. And if they become seriously ill, their medical care will also not be covered.
Here’s what those turncoat Democrats and the entire clan of GOP Dittoheads fail to grasp: they are in danger of “dying quickly” themselves if the uninsured do not get swine flu shots. Eventually, the epidemic will reach even the gated communities where those legislators and their families live.
Some might call that poetic justice. I call it stupid.
