Crazy Parents Kill Their SECOND Child With Faith Healing

Here is story of parents who have now killed two of their own children via “faith healing”. They prayed over 8-month-old Brandon instead of taking him to the doctor, and the poor little kid died.

They did this while being on probation after having done this before. Yes, they prayed another child right into the grave a few years back. They are now the murderers of two innocent children, but are not in jail.

Anybody else, anybody else, who had killed two children would be locked up. But not these two. Because why? Because God told them to do it, that’s why.

This is why we need a strong separation of church and state: so criminals can’t get away with murder by claiming a religious defense. If these two loons had been locked up for life after they killed their 2-year-old son Kent in 2009, they wouldn’t have been able to kill little Brandon last week.

It should make no difference if a parent (or anyone else) is high on Meth or high on Jesus: killing kids is killing kids.

Hopefully, this time, the “justice system” will live up to its name, and lock these two child-abusing scumbuckets up for a hundred years. Or maybe two: one for each of their victims.

Private Insurance ALREADY Rations American Health Care

As his readers will already know, Mr. Blunt and Cranky is managing a goodly list of chronic and acute maladies. Because of that experience (as well as having been an industry insider), he is more than a wee bit acquainted with the American “health care” system.

And he has had his health care rationed. But neither by our big-eared President nor his weird-haired challenger. No, it is the for-profit insurance companies that have screwed with his health care.

Rationing in America is driven by profit margins. For-profit health care is built upon this gigantic conflict of interest: making money vs. providing care.  It happens every day, people dying because of Aetna et.al.  denying them care so as to remain in the black. What this means is that people who are as rich as Bill Gates or Charles Koch get a little richer every time somebody’s care is denied.  Once again: investors make more money if you get less care.  The idea of a family member being sicker or dead just so some Wall Street suit can buy a bigger Beemer does NOT help this writer to stay in his Happy Place.

The private industries who are running this get-rich-over-our-dead-bodies (literally, that is one way they become rich) scheme are paying millions to keep things as they are, and not because they give a rat’s hiney about your health. No, they are buying TV ads, Congresscritters, Senators, and Clarence Thomas to make sure they keep on making money. They hate ObamNeyCare because it threatens a teenytiny piece of their enormous profit margin. Said margin at least substantially derived from rationed care, private sector style.

When these industries try to scare us with the bogeyman of “government health care”, we should stop for a second and consider: could government employees, who get paid the same whether they approve care or not, really do any worse by us than private sector employees who are pressured via their paychecks to deny us care?

Nope, not likely. This writer knows from socialized medicine, and can tell you it beats the living Hell out of our for-profit system.  And the reason is: people get more and better care when the primary criterion for deciding on care is whether the doctor, in their expert opinion, thinks said care will fix the problem.

Right now, your doctor is not, repeat, NOT in charge of your health care. Some accountant at an insurance company is. And they get bonuses if you get less care. This blogger calls that rationing, and it has been going on for years.

Bring on the bureaucrats. At least they won’t get paid extra for second-guessing medical professionals.
