Health Care Issue Revisited: My Point Exactly

If you were to please reference by blog posted June 11, 2009 then you might better understand that "my point exactly" -- Congress now will wait until fall to vote upon a new national health care policy: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,534769,00.html

Hmmm -- let's see.....that would be 1 additional American life needlessly lost, 10 American lives lost, 100 American lives lost, 1,000 American lives lost? Might this daily tally of American lives lost due to the lack of a fair, effective and comprehensive national health care policy resemble the daily tally of American lives lost during the Vietnam War as broadcast nationally into American homes each night at dinner time by CBS News during the span of the war in Southeast Asia?

Hmmm.

"John, you simply don't understand," said President Obama during a recent phone call. "It's not that simple."

Hmmm.......so you said during your appearance this week in Cleveland, Mr. President.

Look, I'm not putting this issue onto the shoulders of our President. I do put the issue upon the shoulders of our Congressional reps, who are more interested in taking their recess than attempting to resolve a national family issue that is way overdue. I say, lock them up in the Capitol Building, until an agreement is reached that the President will endorse with his signature, then take your recess.

So typical.

Let those voters and those constituents suffer a little more. What are a few more lives lost when compared to the lobby and campaign dollars we need to receive on the eve of the 2010 elections here in the U.S.? Honesty and openness is such a bitch, isn't it Mister, Missus and Miss Senator and U.S. Representative? Always an excuse from you not to do something, instead of showing leadership on how to get something accomplished.

Funny how this health care issue might have been partially resolved had it been your father, mother, brother, sister, spouse or other close friend or family member who suffered from a lack of adequate health care in what? -- the wealthiest nation in the world? I only ask you to do what is right, naivete that I am. And familes of America ask you in Congress, to accept these challenges not because they are easy, but because they are hard. Look to our history and do what is right before any more lives are lost.
