Incredibly ridiculous as it seems, a bunch of conservative Americans are trying hard to take away your affordable health care.  We are on the verge of having health care available for all Americans, young and old.  It was what Obama wanted for us, and one of the reasons we voted him in as President.  Congress has obliged by writing bills, although not in their truest beneficial form thanks to lobbying and health industry money, that await discussion.

What isn't so ridiculous is the fact that the health care industry and the insurance companies, that make billions off of your paying through the nose for care, are the ones footing the bill for the white screaming machine behind that big belly to disrupt the meetings so you can't learn the facts about the health care bills awaiting approval.

This machine is partially rooted in the anti-abortion movement.  The addresses were saved, are now computerized, and we saw the latest test run recently in the tea-bag uproar and the birth certificate fiasco. 

Medi-Care and Medicaid are government programs.  The insurance companies are somewhat involved, since they want to keep their foot in the door for access to American check-books.   The government, in fact, can run things pretty well.  Given the choice between corporate pirates who have  no guiding principle except profit, and the government, with people just wanting to do their job, I'll take the government any day.

Why do these people continually buy into the force feeding that steers them into acting against their own best interest?  It seems unawareness and ignorance play a big part.  An overblown fear of the government plays another part. 

I can't help but notice that the face of these meeting stormers is pretty white, not like the multi-cultural face of the true community of America. 

My Republican dad, grandmother, and gggggggggrandfolks who fought in the war for independence of the country must absolutely be spinning in their graves.  What we are seeing from the corporate faux news is not news; it is corporate programming to influence you into choosing to ignore your best interest.  If you lose your job, and you or a family member gets sick, you will be out in the cold.  I know Reagan seemed to believe (as other conservatives do) that the charities would pick up the slack when he signed a bill in California, as governor, to end the funding to mental institutions.  Whatever charity appeared on the scene was way too little.  What we got was a population of mentally ill people who are homeless, living on the streets. 

We deserve better health care than what we get, as a rule, and we can receive it, with a health program to be sure every American has adequate health care.  And it won't cost you bankruptcy or your home to get it.

I've seen one close friend pass away this year because of lack of health care.  She couldn't afford insurance, and made too much money to qualify for Medi-Cal.   Sadly, lives are being lost while we tolerate these screamers out to deny us health care, at the behest of the insurance companies and the for-profit health care industry.   What a tragedy of a country we've become because of profit and greed.
