Extra Sauce, Please

Tuna with sprouts, extra sauce

The legislative building in Denver yesterday was full of legislative aides. Hm. Not legislators. No, the vast majority of Colorado's state legislature wasn't interested in the Colorado Health Institute's presentation on Colorado's 770,000 uninsured citizens.

That's right, I said 770,000. Over a quarter million. No health care. Except what they can get through non-profit clinics, which have to turn away the vast majority of those who NEED help, simply because the clinics can't handle the volume.

Fucked up, you say? Indeed it is. But of course socialized universal health care is still not being looked at as a real option. To my knowledge, it's not being considered anywhere in the country.

And we call ourselves civilized. Hmmmm....

I think this calls for some fish. I'll have the tuna, please. Extra sauce.
