We do not see the sort of fundamental changes that would be necessary to reduce the trajectory of federal health spending by a significant amount and, on the contrary, the legislation significantly expands the federal responsibility for health care costs.

IMF Policies
To reduce poverty is their stated goal
Yet the policies they demand
Always leave assisted countries
In a deeper, darker hole
So why demand policies
That always do fail
That always float like a brick
That, like lead, do sail?
Is their faith in doctrine
Honestly that strong
That policy must always be right
And reality always wrong?
Or is their real aim
Opposite to what they claim
Is it to continue poverty
And power to maintain?
You can never reduce poverty
By concentrating wealth
You do not spread diseases
To protect the public health
So the question that must be asked
Is how to tear away their mask
And now force them to fulfil
Their official stated task?
We can start by recognising
That money in healthy economies
Like blood in a healthy body flows
And severing your arteries
Is worse than body blows.
So let countries pay their debts
Like donors giving blood
Instead of descending like vampires
And leaving corpses in the mud.

Demand and Supply
Demand creates its own supply
Most of the times
If there is more demand than supply
The government should encourage
New investment
And if necessary
Encourage import of the shortage
On the other hand
If there is more supply than demand
The government should discourage
New investment
And encourage export
Of the surplus products and services
Thus
A country can balance demand and supply
For the welfare of its people

Voters did say 'repeal health care,' they did say 'reduce the size of government.' But not a single one of them from the tea party or anywhere said 'give tax breaks to the wealthiest.'

Do Not Die
Do not die when I am sick,
Inside is demand for the deprived and slender.
This thin man who throws light and heat
Is astray like the cows and bulls.
They are thinner when deprived
Yet this thin man worked for some decades in health.
Do not sleep in a threatening mood,
The thinning of a person is about.
Health is a circle of life which revolves like wheels,
The wheel may need, but it certainly flows.
Do not be sick and poor in health
Lest demand for your life is about.
