Evil Reveals Itself

"Tens of thousands of Texas children will be directly affected by the 11th-hour decision of a number of major health insurance companies to stop selling child-only policies rather than comply with the new federal law that requires they cover youngsters with pre-existing conditions.

'What we're seeing is what we've thought all along: Health insurance companies are really only about the bottom line,' said Robert Sanborn, president of Children at Risk, a nonprofit children's advocacy organization based in Houston. 'They pretend to care about families and children, but when it comes down to it, they're happy to kick children to the side.'"

For all of you who say, "Well, we knew that," consider this: the world should not be this way, and by cynically accepting it as though it's a natural law you enable these corporations to treat human populations as an exploitable resource existing for their benefit only.

well, we knew that.
ummm NOW WHAT?
 
People need to not be so accepting of things that make human lives worse. The only purpose of society is to improve human life; if it's not doing that then we are doing it wrong.
 
it's very frustrating to try to come up with something to do personally about this kind of stuff. voting, petitions, phone calls, talking to others...we do them but they seem like so little. i suppose over time they have an effect.
 
it's also frustrating when people vote against their own best interests, as we saw so much of during the bush years.

I want to ask for thoughts about improving the world -- what do people need? How can things be organised?
