Of late the news on a national level has focused on what is called, “Obama Care.” To add to it the Supreme Court has come down with a landmark ruling that seemed to favor the majority of the provisions contained in the bill. Now the airwaves are filled with arguments both for and against.
Our own Senator Grassley says we are going to pull the plug on Grandma….he’s against the new plan. What he conveniently left out is that he took two million ($2,000,000.00) from “big insurance” to lobby against this new plan. Through the Senate he is provided with the very best insurance in the world, in fact the finest on earth, and to make it even better for him and his family, we’re picking up the bill on that. I don’t dislike Chuck, I just think that after too many years in Washington he has become infected with that deadly affliction called hypocrisy. He is a first class hypocrite.
I have been fortunate to have two policies during the past several decades. I have Medicare and Blue Cross which picks up almost all the cost of any procedure….but I am 100% in favor of this new health plan. I believe it will help millions of uninsured and in turn help lower all premiums for everyone.
I also believe it will take close to three years until this new plan can be fully implemented to the point the public will begin to see the advantages it provides, until then its opponents will try to do everything they can to try and sway you to make changes that will lead to it’s defeat. Without question health care is one of the leading factors in bankruptcy today; people simply cannot afford the burgeoning charges of both doctors and hospitals. I am not in favor of socialized medicine but this country and the people who live here, cannot end up giving everything they have worked for all their productive lives…to the healthcare system in the few short years between the time they retire and the time it takes to die. That’s not what life is suppose to be….not now, not ever.
