Single-Payer and the 'Democracy Deficit'

Quicklink Submitted By 1 comment

Exposes U.S. health care system as not merely dysfunctional but deadly; demonstrates how corporate control of media and politicians have enveloped single-payer, favored by 2/3 of the American people, in a cone of silence while advancing the "universal coverage" scam that subsidizes the unnecessary parasites--HMOs & for-profit carriers--who suck up 31% of health dollars.

"Rob explores the difference between a natural, organic, bottom-up connection consciousness and our corporately imposed top-down hierarchical collective consciousness. What Rob is speaking about is the difference between an artificial and ultimately stagnate way of organizing the world and a natural, organic growth, which starts with a seed, sends downs roots and sends up shoots which blossom. By returning to a Nature-based theory of connection, the Bottom-Up revolution brings us back into alignment with Earth's laws, returning humanity to its place in creation. Like a good gardener, Rob works into the soil of his thesis different voices that exemplify how this Bottom-Up revolution is expanding in politics, business, religion, personal self-awareness and story. And he places technology where it belongs""as a tool to further our connection consciousness, not an end in itself. The bottom-up revolution is about democracy finally living up to its original ideals, where we the people decide what we need from our society."
