You know, when the United States Supreme Court eviscerates
the Affordable Health Care Act, it won’t affect me or my family. I say “when,”
not “if” for they would seem to have the votes. Four justices hate President of
the United States Barack Obama so viciously that they would vote to depose him
and replace him with Charles Manson if they had the chance. A fifth hates
government itself badly enough to join in the disgrace.
No, it won’t affect me our mine.
It will affect the person I know who is alive today because
the AHCA allowed a life-saving medical treatment that had previously been
denied for lack of money, that person who forwarded a shameful cartoon not long
ago comparing President of the United States Barack Obama to a gorilla.
It will affect the person I know who is healthy enough to
work but instead exists totally on disability payments and medical care
provided by us, the taxpayers, and who rarely completes a sentence without
including a reference to “that n****r president.”
It will affect those who, physicians report, are receiving health
care in record numbers for the first time in decades because of the AHCA, but
who recently traded six years of shame for six seconds, at the voting booth, of
revenge against the country for electing a person of color as President of the
United States.
So all we can do is wait and hope for a "Beckett Moment" when justices may, in a flash, realize there is a higher mandate than a political directive. If it doesn't happen, we'll just watch the poor die and remember, like "Camelot," that there was once this brief shining moment in America.
Oh, and it won’t affect the health care of the Supreme Court
justices or the members of congress who are egging them on. They have, and will
continue to have, excellent care provided by us, the taxpayers.
So why, the followers of Ayn Rand would say, should they
care since it won’t affect them and why should you since it won’t affect you?
I guess it is because
I have a heart and because I agree with St. Luke. |
| St. Luke - I think he quoted a man who said something about the poor being blessed. Oh well, it's an outdated concept. |
