so glad to see this author, chris winters, admit that ACA is not a healthcare plan either. as another posted recently, “ailing people don’t need insurance, they need healthcare!” i was all ready to give this writer my like vote, but this line gave me pause: “It’s going to be a long road back to a Democratic Congress and White House, but perhaps when we get there, they can finish the job.” during campaign 2008 i bought into obama’s “single payer” political rhetoric. the voters gave him the oval office and a majority democratic party congress. remember "single payer is off the table! well, gang “fool me once shame on YOU! fool me twice shame on ME!” let’s face it, the venal democrats are in bed with big money just like the republicans. there’s a reich article here today that suggests we get ACA back then “progress” toward single payer. yeah, that’s the game plan. we get this obama/romney care plan back and then cheer, “we won! we won!” well, we’ve been fooled again.
a couple of months ago i was in the local medical center’s business offices. i saw a woman seated next to me with her teen aged daughter who held a pair of crutches. “oh, what happened!” i asked. the teen had broken her ankle, but no one in their approved group of doctors was available to respond to this emergency. the frustrated parent hoped to get permission to find help outside the medical group. so much for obama-care! 86% of u.s. citizens want single payer, but the ruling elite say, “no can do–just wait we’ll come up with something in the future!” the only time we have is NOW. tomorrow never comes. it’s always a day away.
