When we address imaginary ‘monsters’ like ‘socialized medicine’, it might do well to address the root problem that gives these ‘monsters’ foothold. Blogger ‘SamP’ does this by opening deep-rooted questions about social prejudice. ‘SamP’ opens with the question: “What's wrong with socialized health care?” Before we call an emergency Ku Klux Clan rally screaming ‘Commie! Commie! Commie!’, consider that "look[ing] after your fellow man [is] the Christian thing to do,” as ‘SamP’ puts it. Not only that, it should not require a genius to see that other peoples’ problems will eventually grow to the point where they will drag down those who choose to remain disassociated. This health insurance/care crises will never go away if left untreated. It may diminish in importance as our social structure allows our nation to degrade to being a 3rd-world society. But who wants that? We already have the least-respected health insurance/care system in the industrialized world. We should be ashamed. We need serious health insurance/care reform that addresses the actual crisis head on.

‘SamP’ provides us with a no-nonsense overview of the root problem. It centers on the human side of a nation’s economy. As ‘SamP’ explains, the money is merely a smoke screen for what lies beneath. The bedrock is man-power. We must never lose sight of this. This is where we must ‘tend the garden’. The nurturing must include essential services like "police, fire, roads, education and [health insurance/care],” as ‘SamP’ explains. In ancient Rome, the fire departments were all privatized. So the firefighters would arrive on the scene and let the fire burn while they negotiated price. Absurd? Well that’s exactly what America is doing with our health insurance/care system…and it’s every bit as absurd, perhaps more-so. So when a politician spews out fear-barbs about ‘socialized monsters’, maybe that person needs to be (gently) slapped aside the head and reminded “Hey Dude, were talking about ‘firefighters’ here”. We don’t let people die while we negotiate the profits. No industrialized (and few third-world) countries are floundering as bad as we are. Some of us need to start over for Pre-K Muppet wisdom. We’ve grossly missed something.
