We as concerned citizens don't want to be a part of anything having to do with universal health care if this managed health care means:
- that the economic breakdown between the rise for managed health coverage costs and the marginal increase in wages continues to widen the chasm of affordability.
-that my present and future tax dollars will in no way insure my or my dependents ability to utilize my investment for traditional and alternative care should the need arise.
-that the care I receive is mediated by the bureaucracies of government, insurance and pharmaceutical companies and hospital administrators.
- that it means I am forced into a no-win position in cross-generational political warefare for limited resources and the continuation of the ubiquitous classist distribution of the same.
- that it means I have to be part of or support this universal health care coverage.
-that it means the so-called 'virtues' of health care are being doled out and auctioned off as commodities.
In making this statement we as concerned citizens insist that:
- this not a call for abolishing the ideology behind universal or managed health care coverage.
- this is not a request to limit the welfare faction recipients of managed health care but a protest for the sectors hardest hit; the middle-class, and future generations.
- this is not an opposition to socialized medicine or universal health care coverage of all citizens.
- this is not a call for abolishing the medical industry or the care it gives to the sick and infirm.
- any organization(s) devoted to 'maintianing' health/life can in no way be affiliated with the government or in cahoots with the insurance companies.
- the traditional methods of healing when used between mutually consenting individuals; namely the healer and the patient, are accepted by the law and not interfered with.
