U.S. Medicare and the so-called 'American Dream'

U.S. politicians are constantly talking about the so-called 'American Dream.' Do not be stupid and do not let yourself be fooled. Do not believe what they are telling you. American capitalism is designed with only one supreme goal in mind: to get as much money from your pocket and transfer it to the pocket of capitalist 'entity.' That is what capitalism is all about. Capitalism does not exist to help you. On the contrary, it exists to try to screw you every way which it can.

There are capitalist countries like France, Canada and England that have decent health care delivery systems. They always rate far above the United States, which has the most expensive health care delivery system of any developed country. You pay more out of your own pocket in the United States. The primary concern of a U.S. capitalist is to make money off you, not to help you.

Take for instance U.S. Medicare. It is true that it is better to have our current Medicare system than not to have any Medicare plan at all. But there are areas where the U.S. Medicare plan just plainly SUCKS!

I know a retired person that recently had to have dentist care. He had to pay $395.00 for a molar extraction. Medicare did not pay a penny of that. He had a second molar that was in bad shape. He did not want to loose a second molar. A root canal cost him $900.00 and a crown of the affected molar cost him $700.00. Total cost cost for the three services : $1,995.00. Medicare does not pay a penny of that.

LONG LIVE THE AMERICAN DREAM! Or like a friend of mine used to say: “Don't let them shit all over you, open your mouth.”
