Remember it?

"Social federal government affecting Atlanta" and a "supposed post-racial society" are pretty well connected.

If one mistakenly thinks having an African-American and maybe Socialist prez magically makes us post-racial, I think that is very much on topic.

I think BringBackCobain thinks this and dreams that mainstream American is now post-racial.

A rude awakening this way comes (for BBCobain, of course).

The real difference between the American medical care Industry & UHC Is who's going to decide wether you live or die.
Last year I had a heart problem, after an angiogram I was told that I would need a triple heart by-pass. The doctor told me that my blood test showed a high white blood cell count, after further tests were done I was told I had CLL a form of leukemia.
I had private medical insurance with a very large American company they refused to sanction my heart surgery because of the CLL even though It was low grade.
Fortunately for me the NHS did'nt turn me down, I've had the operation and am now fully recovered. The CLL was treated and I'm In remission.
My company and I had paid £200,000 In medical insurance, yet when I needed them they turned their back on me.
Privitised medicine were prepared to let me die the NHS refused to.
