Rhetoric.Day in,day out.All day,every day.The so called Conservatives and Ideological Right make claim after claim and yet what's been brought to the table that they have been invited to many times dispite the Progressive Left crying foul.You had a seat at the table.You had your chance to speak,stop the rhetoric,eat from the table to citizenship,stop complaining and pay the bill.
A Communist Nation? Seriously lol?? I think you personally are doing far better than the average Russian,Chinese or North Korean citizen the same age as you.What kills me about the notion of this being Communist policy is the fact that you've always been paying for universal healtcare.It would seem the ideological right always misses the fact that you've been paying for every single person that walks through clinic or hospital doors without insurance.Why doesn't the ideological Right want to ban the use of Emergency Rooms by people without insurance or people that can't pay based on income? That would be some what heartless now wouldn't it.I'd like to think I'm well versed in what's happening in global,national,and local news,but it will never change the facts on the ground in real time.If god forbid you get a major illness or even just injure yourself in this contry even people making $50,000 or more a year risk losing everything they have.Why do we allow this to happen to each other? Dispite our so called Christian values as a nation we may not purhaps fully believe that we are in fact out brothers keeper dispite all te evidance to the contrary.
This is more than just money people.It's a ideological question for our culture.Would you rather atleast attempt to feed the starving man? Or tell him where the employment office is?Both are viable options.One insures he atleast eats for the night.Republicans or so called Conservatives these days it would seem would rather debate the cost of something once again they are already paying for instead of seeing themselves as perhaps one day being the $50,000 a year starving man.When your on that doctors office and your informed that your insurance has run it's course but your illness hasn't then what? When your selling your house and draining your savings,then what?
My message to the Conservatives that are against the healthcare reform bill is simple.I hope you never get to old or to sick to work.Because this every man for himself stuff isn't working to well now is it? You had 8 years to do it your way,and where are we now? Watching MSNBC sponsering free health clinics in several major cities to respond to the man that's not lookkg for a handout but the right to live.And I don't recieve "free healthcare".I'm a Veteran of a very foreign war.I'm a libertarian who is for small government yes,but ultimately always for the will of the people.So when the peoples representatives in the Congress and Senate demand healthcare coverage for it's citizens I wouldn't stand in the way.Because someday the insurance for me might run out.And I'll be asking myself "now what"??
