Jeg er atter en gang en smule målløs. Liberal Alliance, som faktisk var en smule fornuftige indtil de fik Simon Emil Ammitzbøll ind, foreslår at man nægter indvandrere adgang til sundhedsvæsenet i de første 7 år i landet, istedet skal de have privat sundhedsforsikring. Sjældent har man hørt så usympatisk et forslag. Men selvfølgelig, sjældent har man set så usympatisk en politiker som Simon Emil. Hans selvtilfredse smil, hans ækle facade, og hans evne til at stikke folk i ryggen mens han smiler de smil der aldrig når til øjnene….En sand kujon, der måtte sige sandheden om sin tidligere parti-leder. Ikke ansigt til ansigt, bevares, men i et læserbrev, udgivet dagen efter han tog til USA i en periode, så han kunne veje folkestemningen inden han besluttede sig til enten at være helten der prøvede at vælte partiformanden, eller forlade partiet.
Udover at være, som nævnt, utroligt usympatisk og slesk, er han nu talsmand for et forslag der vil skabe en ny underklasse i Danmark. Privat sundhedsforsikring er et onde vi desværre må acceptere, omend det går over min forstand at nogen kan få sig selv til at anskaffe sig det. Det skal jeg dog nok vende tilbage til en anden dag, det lover jeg. Men at sige at en stor gruppe skal stå udenfor sundhedsvæsenet i 7 år…. “Vi vil sikre os, at kun ressourcestærke indvandrere kommer til landet. Vi har brug for kloge hoveder, og de kan uden tvivl få en sundhedsforsikring af deres arbejdsgiver”. Jeg kan ligefrem høre debatten første gang en af disse ressourcestærke indvandrere bliver syg, mister sit arbejde, og mister sin arbejdsgiverbetalte forsikring…..’Jamen, manden er syg, han skal til læge, hr. Ammitzbøll’…’Nej, han var syg dengang han var ressourcestærk, men nu hvor han er arbejdsløs er han en unyttig spiser. Lad ham ligge’….Det bringer minder tilbage om en svunden tid, gør det ikke?
I Danmark har vi da alle dage (indtil en vís regering åbnede for sundhedsforsikringer, ihvertfald) haft fri og lige adgang til sundhedsvæsenet. Det er faktisk en del af vores lov. Det kræver forhåbentligt en hel del mere end en person som Simon Emil Ammitzbøll, som får farlige bakterier af enhver slags til at virke som velkomne middagsgæster istedet for ham selv, at ændre dette. “Danmark kan ikke være social-kontor for hele verden”, siger manden. Her er en sjov tanke, Simon Emil, siden dette er for at spare penge. Hvad med at stoppe helt med at bruge bare en enkelt krone til at skabe tryghed/lighed/rettigheder for homoseksuelle? Hvad med at sige at loven mod diskriminering af folk på grund af deres seksualitet først træder i kraft når de har været sprunget ud af skabet i 7 år? Kan du tilslutte dig det, eller er det knapt så sjovt når det kunne risikere at gå ud over dig selv? Hvordan du nogensinde kommer til at se dig selv i et spejl og ikke væmmes ved hvad du ser er udenfor min fatteevne, men jeg skal nok kommentere på det næste gang du vil træde på folk der ligger ned.

Once again I am almost struck speechless. A small political party, Liberal Alliance, who used to be a tiny bit sensible until they let a politician named Simon Emil Ammitzbøll join them, suggest that immigrants should be banned from public health care of any kind until they have stayed in the country for 7 years, instead they need a private insurance to cover their medical needs. I know this isn’t too unusual for some, but here in Denmark, this is almost beyond belief. And of course, rarely have a politician been beyond belief like Simon Emil A. His self-satisfied cold smile, his disgusting and fake behaviour, and his ability to stab fellow politicians in their back while smiling a smile that never reaches his eyes…A true coward, who once felt the need to say the truth about the leader of the party he was formerly a member of. Not face to face, of course, but in a newspaper, published the day after he left for the States for an extended stay. This way, he was better able to see if people agreed and suddenly cried out for a true hero like himself to assume leadership, or if people saw through him and took him for what he is.
Besides being, like before mentioned, incredibly sleazy and unsympathetic, he is now the spokesman for a political idea that will create a new lower class in Denmark. Private healthcare is a nessecary evil which we unfortunately have to accept, even though it is beyond me how anyone can bring themselves to buy one. This is a subject on which I will definetly return at a later date. But to say that a large group of people should be outside normal medical care for 7 years…..”We want to make sure that only ressourceful/educated immigrants come to Denmark. We need bright people, and no doubt their employer will pay for health care for them.” I can just imagine the debate first time one of these ressourceful/educated immigrants gets sick, looses his job, and looses his employer-paid healthcare. “But, the man is sick, he needs to see a doctor, Mr. Ammitzbøll”. “No! He was sick back when he was a ressourceful/educated immigrant, but now that he is unemployed, he is a useless beggar. Let him lie”. Certainly a new way to treat your fellow humans, right?
In Denmark, there is a tradition (well, until a certain Bush-loving government opened up for health insurances, at least) for free and equal access to health care. It is not just a tradition, it is actually part of our law, stated just like that. Free and equal access to health care. I seriously hope it will take a lot more than a creep like Simon Emil Ammitzbøll, who makes disease-spreading bacteria seem like good dinner companions in comparison, to change that. “Denmark can’t be a social service-office for the entire world”, he says. Well here is a funny thought, just for you, since this suggestion is made to save money. How about never again using a single dime to create safety/equality/rights for homosexuals? (note here : Simon Emil is one of the few openly homosexual politicians in our parliament) How about making a law stating that any and all rights for homosexuals, like the one making it illegal to discriminate them due to their sexuality, doesn’t apply until they have been out of the closet for 7 years? Can you say yes to that, or is it less fun when it risks harming yourself or people like you? How you will ever manage to look at yourself in a mirror, and not feel any disgust, is waaaay beyond me, but I will make sure to comment on it next time you want to kick people who are already down.
