This cartoon comes on top of the news that the US Congress, after folding on every meaningful provision in their healthcare reform act (such as a public option, tighter controls over insurance companies, making it illegal to not have health insurance and so on) they are now considering dropping the one token token gesture that they were supposed to keep in, namely the prevention of denying care for pre-existing conditions. Conditions such as, according to some states, being a victim of domestic abuse.
I’m not implying that the current congress is wussy on stuff like healthcare reform. I’m more sort of implying that their incompetence, corruption and cowardice in this matter is so colossal that I can physically feel how offended I am, and I don’t even live in America. Good luck with your inevitable Massive Violent Uprising, dudes. :O
It’s been this way for decades now, I hardly think that there will be much of a violent uprising. All in all, though, it is pretty damn disappointing.
