My thoughts today are scattered. Tomorrow I'm presenting a bill to model congress to establish affordable fundamental health care, life insurance and car insurance. Before you start to assume I'm a socialist, allow me to explain. Now, affordable is defined by figuring a state's living expense on minimum wage. These services/programs should be affordable for folks who cannot conjure such expenses for their health care, life insurance and car insurance. It is not free. It's just a means for everyone to have the opportunity, since we are a land greatly in depth of that concept, to purchase it if needed. It shouldn't be limited to just the poverty stricken citizens. All who would rather have this cheaper form of fundamental care may apply. By fundamental, I mean the absolute basics. Which include doctor visits, X-rays, emergency room visits, etc. Nothing like plastic surgery or prescriptions at all. There is a market for these services aside from governmental aid. They should provide the more elaborate plans offering more coverage and the like. A team is only as strong as its weakest player, and we must help all those in hardship to rise in unity. I don't even see how it can even be conceivable for people to be in debt for paying for the loss and burial of a loved one. Paying for your license, paying a mandatory insurance, is ridiculous. Lets make this affordable for all to have. Lets have those bigger corporations be the ones to offer your car's coverage and whatnot. In fact, lets make this a bundle pack with all three included at said figured rate established by minimum wage. So yes, this is a socialist idea. However, it's achieved by capitalist means.
