Recession & Prison Labor; Medicare is the Answer, Not the Problem

Corporations Say, Why Bargain With Free Labor When There's A Captive Labor At Our Disposal? with Rania Khalek, independent journalist, AlterNet Prison labor is every Corporation's dream - cheap labor, no sick leave, no time off, no holidays and employees that can be easily replaced. Of course, for human rights activists however, it's a nightmare, because the other side of the coin is forced labor, no unions, low or no pay and no protections whatsoever for the workers. Corporations have used or currently uses prison labor for anything from holiday coffee for Starbucks to cutting airplane components for Boeing, making Game Boys for Nintendo, producing equipment for the war in Iraq, shrink wrapping mouses devices for Microsoft, making dentures, down to sewing lingerie for Victoria Secrets. The use of slave labor and now the use of prison labor is a multi-billion dollar business. ******************** Medicare Is the Answer, Not the Problem with MARGARET FLOWERS, M.D., Congressional Fellow for the 18,000-member Physicians for a National Health Program. Both Democrats and Republicans are missing the point by putting the emphasis on controlling Medicare and Medicaid costs without effectively addressing the reasons for our rising health care costs. Rather than embracing the Republican rhetoric which blames our public insurances, Democrats would do well to call out the real reason for our health care spending crisis: our current fragmented and profit-driven model, and advocate for a national improved Medicare for all. Watching the actions in D.C. is like watching the same political theater we have seen for each important issue. The crisis, manufactured, or real, becomes an excuse to pretend to fight over the solutions, all the while continuing to move towards greater austerity measures for necessities such as health care, housing, education, jobs and pensions. We must address the root causes of the direction this country is headed, corporatism and militarism, through unity and mass acts of resistance. We will not email or elect ourselves out of this situation.
