Before You Vote, Read This.

Health insurance is the one issue that affects us all, and it’s organized crime.

The midterms are Tuesday, and before you go vote, I want to share an experience I had this month. Because as we fuss at each other about every other thing, we are being robbed blind and driven crazy by the same thing.

All of us.

It’s not the heat, it’s the humidity; and it’s not our salaries, it’s our health insurance. How many of you stay in your jobs not out of love, not even for money, but for your benefits?

My plea to every voter is to think about their healthcare before they walk into their polling station.

No matter if you are for or against abortion, a book burner or a book learner, an atheist or supporter of prayer in schools, there is indeed one issue in American politics that unites us all: the abysmal state of our healthcare system. And while we are busy fighting amongst ourselves, healthcare CEOs are depositing their latest bonus check.

We need to stop being such suckers. After the week I’ve had, I am no longer calling health insurance anything other than organized crime. There is no bigger scam perpetuated on American voters.
