I listened to the good doctor. OK. He's just saying, or he did in the video I
heard, what you say and Bernie Sanders says and I say, and he put it in a
medical framework.
As for Trump and Puerto Rico, Americans on the mainland have been treating
Puerto Ricans like crap for as long as I've been aware that Puerto Rico existed
and for much longer than that. All you need to do is read The War Against All
Puerto Ricans by Nelson A. Dennis. All you have to do is to look at the plan
devised for the bleeding of Puerto Rico for the benefit of investors devised
during Obama's administration. All you need to do is look at how the Bush
administration used Katrina to steal from the black people of New Orleans.
Trump is just the outcome of what has been developing in our country, and
allowed to blossom for the last 45 years. Trump is what you get when the
leadership of the Democratic Party completely casts off its base and fully
embraces the military contractors.

The thing is, it's not just the declining access to health care.
Declining Education, declining police protection, declining jobs, decaying
infrastructure, declining access to Courts and to adequate legal assistance,
inadequate senior services, and most of all, the loss of a political party for
the working class. In short, we've been shut out of the "American Dream",
whatever that means to each of us.
While I thought that very little could shock me at my advanced age, and my many
years on the front lines in the ongoing fight for equality, Donald Trump
managed to do it. He has said some things that I believed were in bad taste,
and some things that were said for shock effect, but when he trashed the mayor
of San Juan, and in fact, the Puerto Rico Government and all of the people as
being incompetent on their own behalf, I actually took Donald Trump's name in
vain!
The thought of allowing the Bank Predators easy access into the Island(I
learned from Donald Trump himself, that they are an island surrounded by
water...his words, not mine), and yet he can't seem to put together a system
that will move food, water and fuel to those in desperate need.
Is Donald Trump really the best that money can buy? Really? I can understand
the good old White boys knocking back a few beers and voting for their Savior,
but women? Even one single female vote is an insult to all American Women. I
mean, what sort of self esteem issues are American women dealing with? Vote
for a man who brags about grabbing a woman's "pussy"? And then to tell his
giggling friend that, "They like it"? I don't care if he promised a 20 hour
work week and a fifty dollar minimum hourly wage, if I were a woman, I'd vote
for no one before I voted for that sleazy sexist. But...I guess some women
never learned self respect.

I'll see if I can find it at some point. Everyone I know, is
dissatisfied with our medical system. People complain about the length
of time it takes to get an appointment, the short amount of time the
doctor actually spends with them, the red tape, the copayments. Even
the elderly man who cuts my hair and whom I've suspected of being
quite politically conservative as are most old white Long Islanders,
is in favor of a single payer system. It's quite amazing.

health
This morning I listened to a speech by Doctor Stephen Bezruchka, on
Alternative Radio. He can also be found on You Tube, and is both
informative as well as entertaining. I hope some of you will find the
time to hunt him down and listen. You Tube offers a live speech,
while Alternative Radio posts the text.
Doctor Bezruchka provides dramatic statistics on our declining health care.
He also presents reasons why this is occurring, and what we can do
about it.
