Closing Thought–06May24

Just a mere 6 months before we go to the polls and then there is Congress who try to act up so they can claim a victory to be used in their expensive campaign ads….

A recent health bill was up for consideration….and the political game was afoot….stop Biden from a legislative win at all costs…..the cost could be your health.

I’m afraid I have some bad news.

As a hospital doctor, I’ve gotten pretty good at delivering bad news. Still, it never gets any easier. It certainly was not easy the day I told my 53-year-old patient, a devoted father of two, that his stomach pains were not from gallstones as everyone had assumed. Whenever a doctor says “bad news,” our minds often jump to that terrible “C”-word we fear: cancer. Unfortunately for my patient, I diagnosed him with a deadly form of cancer: cholangiocarcinoma. Over the next year, I would watch him deteriorate as he was readmitted with complication after complication.

Cancer affects everyone in some way, shape or form. Whether personally or through a family member or friend, the stress and heartbreak of a cancer diagnosis is immeasurable. Which is why I was so surprised when I read that Congress would not be renewing investments in the “Cancer Moonshot” initiative dedicated to curing cancer.

Another prime example of how the Congress and the parties have no sense of what is good for the people of this country….for them it is about the elections and the cash.

Is this what you sent your reps to DC to do?…..if not then DO something about it the games these slugs play at your expense.

Be Smart!

Learn Stuff!

Then VOTE!

  1. I can only hope that the next election in Britain will save us from the same kind of private healthcare you have over there, chuq.

    Best wishes, Pete.

  2. Vote? Are you out of your mind? There is enough vote manipulation and suppression going on here that voting is a dream of a dead dream long since passed now. The electoral college picks the winners these days, not the individual voters. The “Individual Vote” thing is nothing but a scam to keep the peasants pacified in thinking that they still have a voice in things.

  3. There is enough vote manipulation and suppression going on over here these days to make the now dead dream of Individual Voter Influence a laugh —The Electoral College picks the winners these days, not the voters. The “Remember To Vote” thing is just a scam to keep the masses pacified with their illusions of a democracy long since dead and gone.

  4. Just 6 months before we go to the polls and discover that casting votes is futile because the future is already assured —darkness and tyranny unless there is some kind of miracle.
