Did you know..
According to the Department of Defense of America detainees at Guatonamo bay receive medical, dental, psychiatric, and optometric care during their time while in jail at U.S. taxpayers’ expense.
"There is still acute care 24 hours a day, in which surgical procedures, everything, can be performed right there in the detainee camps, but as those wounds healed and as the detainees got further and further away from acute injuries, there has been increasing emphasis on preventative care. Indeed, the immunization rate there is higher than in the United States of America…. Things such as screening for cancer have taken place there. Colonoscopies--a procedure which, as we all know, is used commonly in this country to screen for colon cancer--are performed there on a routine basis. The health personnel-to-detainee ratio is 1 to 4--remarkably high. That is all health personnel who are there. And I guess, as I left this briefing and the opportunity to talk to the doctors and the nurses and the psychologists and the psychiatrists, I left with an impression that health care there is clearly better than they received at home and as good as many people receive in the United States of America." Sen. Bill Frist (R-TN), states on Guantanamo Bay, U.S. Senate, September 12, 2006.
How could we allow this? While we are here debating about new or old health care these terrorists are lapping up our tax dollars so that, when they return home, they are cured of any illness or disease and approx. 14% of those go back to what they are doing. They even get free teeth cleanings. I don't know about you but I know I inevertantly have to pay for that. They get better food and better care than free, good americans. Makes you feel good about how our government treats our enemies (sarcasim)?
Guatanamo Bay isn't the only place where our money goes:
Thanks to Michael Moore we have found out that the way the government and the insurance agencies, as well as thanks to Richard Nixon's money obsession (and later impeachment), to have been able to maintain our current health care system by pay off politicians and even our own president. They spent over a million dollars in just bribing people. Even Hilary Cliton was bribed out of her idea of a Universal health system!
So if people think they are spending money and giving money to the government and insurance agenies to aid them when they are ill they better look twice as to whose pockets that money goes into and why.
