And you couldn’t have that special day the way your friends do – you know, wear the ring on your finger and have it mean the same thing as everybody else. Just put yourself in that person’s shoes. It makes me feel sick to my stomach …. When I shared a picture of my tattoo on my Twitter page and said, ‘ALL LOVE is equal,’ a lot of people mocked me – they said, ‘What happened to you? You used to be a Christian girl!’ And I said, ‘Well, if you were a true Christian, you would have your facts straight. Christianity is about love.’ The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me. At one point I had to say, ‘Dude, everyone lay off.’ Can’t people have friendly debates about sensitive topics without it turning into unnecessary threats?” - Pop star Miley Cyrus on her marriage equality tattoo - - - - - - - - - - -

Politics 101: Why Is Health Care So Expensive? and The Real Reasons Why It Costs So Much

Back in April I introduced you to the first part of "Why Your Stitches Cost $1,500: A Look at The Absurd Health Care Costs in America." Today, I bring you the 2nd part.

Let me break it down for you... You have Myths, which Republicans try to feed you day in, and day out.  And you have Truths, which Democrats try to show you, but you refuse to listen to them. If you continue to elect people into office that feed you lies, beyond lies, to where it becomes really difficult to repair; Then when it comes time to repair all the damage that's been done - our Democrats are blamed for not fixing it fast enough.  Why is it there job to repair what Republicans screwed up to begin with?  Because Democrats care for the average American worker. You have a choice, make it.

In the chart below, you will see four big myths "people often cite, but are actually incorrect."
After the jump, you will find "The Real Reasons Why Health Care Costs So Much."

It's all greed. Unregulated capitalism leads to immense greed that's destroying our country. What once help build us into the powerhouse country that we are is slowly eating away at our heart. The middle class keeps the country alive and well. Without us we become a third world country where the few very rich reign over the masses of poor. Our politicians, our leaders, and even once unbiased supreme court is now bought and paid for by the conservative businesses that only care about increasing there fourth quarter earnings. If Obama losses this next election and someone crazy like Michelle Bachman is now in charge, our country will be quickly turning into a monarchy. Ruling rich controlling many poor without a voice. Our ancestors once fled this overseas only to settle here and make sure it would never happen again. What would they think of us now?
