Interestingly laws are coming in at both ends of the life cycle that suggest that our lives are less valuable than they used to be.
Disabled people are often fearful that financisl considerstions outweigh their right to quality of life.
Many believe that our financial based system is coming to a bitter end and having negative consewuences for the most vulnerable in society.
Abortion laws and end of life laws, welcomed by the majority who are fit and well coupled with the proposed privatisation of our National Health Service, advocated by certain private companies masquerading as political parties call into question the motivation of many who administer healthcare from outside the medical profesdion itself.
Note the gaslighting subtly employed to disconnect the public from its ownership of our healthcare service.
How is this gaslighting accomplished? Easily, by the frequent use of this catchy lie. “Free at the point of use”. Think about it “free”. How can anything pre-paid in taxation be free at any subsequent point?
That’s like buying a holiday in January that you intend to take in July and being told that it is free in July. An obvious untruth.
So we face the monetisation of our very life cycle. We are encouraged to view our life’s journey as a business proposition.
Our previous investment in public services such as water, gas, electricity, public transportation and yes, healthcare written off as though these facilities were not built by us, for us.
Catagorised as unptofitable today, l yet invested in for decades by our contributions. But our ownership, wiped away by the stroke of a pen, as though we are being relieved of a burden.
Guess what, the well vote for it. The fit champion this quiet theft.
So we approach a crosstoads.
Do we allow yhe business minded to take away the metaphoricsl “holiday” that we paid for in January? that we may need or do we fight to retain it?
