Confession: I'm like a chocoholic, but for politics

You may not know this about me, but after I died, I decided to start paying attention to a bunch of the shit in the world that I didn't give a crap about when I was alive. I mean, I had tons of free time, and as I learned quickly after I died, time has no meaning here where I am now. (To give you an idea of what I mean, by the time I finish this post, it will be last week in your world but 1953 in my world. Five minutes later -- if you can call it that -- it will be 2017.)

So I started learning about shit like animal husbandry, Esperanto, and politics. I quickly became what you might call a “political junkie.”

I can’t resist weighing in the big political news down in the US of A: the health care debate. Democrats seem to think it’s a good idea to make it easier for everybody to afford health care. Republicans are saying that it brings us one step closer to communism and Nazism.

Who’s right? The Republicans, of course. As someone who lived through it, I can tell you that Lenin and Hitler specifically campaigned on providing health care to everybody. And then what happened? World War 2! Straight line.

Most historians agree that the #1 issue that caused the War was single-payer health care. Germany had it, the Allies didn’t, and we could NOT let it spread to the rest of the world. We had to make the world safe for insurance companies.

In fact, as part of the research for this blog post, I talked to lots of historians who believe that Germany lost the war BECAUSE of the inadequate health care they got from government-employed doctors. Does America really want to lose a world war simply so that a bunch of do-gooders can give poor people preventative health care and vaccines and operations and shit?

I’m dead and all, so I don’t have a dog in this fight, but my guess is that the answer should be no.
