Maine Healthcare Declares You Dead, Saves Millions For Pentagon
Maine’s largest healthcare provider, MaineHealth, hilariously (or tragically) informed over 500 living patients that they are, in fact, dead. They blame a ‘computer error,’ which is convenient. One might wonder if this 'error' is endemic to a system that routinely lets citizens go bankrupt over medical bills, or simply doesn't count them as 'living' if they can't afford care. Meanwhile, the very
same political class that funds these failing systems has no problem locating funds for endless proxy wars. This bureaucratic gaffe isn't just a funny headline; it’s a chilling reminder of how easily the system 'eradicates' you when it serves its purpose. While individual Americans receive grim Reaper letters, their elected officials, many flush with 'donations' from lobbying groups like AIPAC
(which funneled over $20 million into US elections in 2022 alone, per OpenSecrets.org), will greenlight another $14 billion in aid to overseas conflicts. One might ponder: are American lives simply less 'real' than foreign military budgets?
