Is This the End? Finally?

Oh the heartbreak in Washington tonight. Today the Supreme Court made a final ruling on the Affordable Health Care Act, and in keeping it entirely the law of the land, disappointed all the Republicans who want to let Pharmaceuticals and Health Care providers write an alternate plan to screw the middle class.

Health Care costs are down. Even if you work at a place that provides Health Care benefits, you are saving around $1800 a year and you don't even realize it. One out of three Americans who didn't have health insurance before this law was passed are now insured. And they are paying for it instead of us.

In 1986 President Reagan signed EMTALA, the Emergency Medical Training and Leave Act. Basically it stated that anyone who showed up in an emergency room and needed health care, must be treated whether they had insurance or not. Great! Except it wasn't funded. Which meant that you and I, by paying higher dividends, co-pays, and deductibles, paid for the uninsured. Yes, President Reagan, Saint Ronnie of the Republican Right, signed into law the first socialized medicine program.

Now, all the right wingers hate the poor so much. They're the problem. Not the wealthy leeches not paying taxes. The House has voted around 72 times to repeal the law of the land. The President acknowledged today that this is the most misunderstood law ever. Sure it is, but Mr. President, with all due respect, who's fault is that?

Send folks out to educate citizens about what this really is! Don't let the Limbaugh's and Hannity's keep spreading their lies. Because there are actually people out there that take these guys seriously. And sadly, a lot of them! So start putting these guys in check! Get lots of folks out there educating the masses about what this really is. The Hannity's and the Limbaugh's are naturally going to be scoring points if they are the only ones talking!

And so, the Affordable Health Care Act, that has already saved lives (one woman shared with the President that since they could now afford insurance, her son went in, was diagnosed and treated for a tumor. This would not have happened before the Affordable Care Act. He is alive today because of this law.

So suck it up Righties. If you think this was a bad day for you, wait until tomorrow.
