True Colors

President Obama signed The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act on March 23, 2010. Before this time there was a lot of discussion. Republican Sarah Palin declared there would be "Death Panels". However, many without insurance or without great insurance had already dealt with death panels. It goes basically like this, your insurance will only pay a maximum of X amount of dollars. You have reached that limit. Ok,so you ask the hospital how much will cost to keep my loved one at the hospital and then they give you the astronomical figure that there is no way your family can afford. You have just met your death panel.
So yes, America does have the best healthcare available. It just isn't available to all Americans. For that matter a lot of basic healthcare isn't available to all Americans.
During the debate about the PPAC Act, Congressman Alan Grayson spoke on the floor of the House Representatives. Here is the video :


Oh, so many people on the right got up in arms over this. Such outrage that he could even suggest that was how they truly felt. How dare he question their humanity, even if the record showed otherwise.
Then it passed and was signed by President Obama. I was truly grateful that had been signed. Though it wasn't the Universal Healthcare I had supported at least it was a step in the right direction. This Act of wanting to protect Americans and provide them with healthcare met with some of the most ugly comments from people on the right. In fact, it severed ties between myself and family member. As I had watched a family member die before her time because of not having health insurance and another family member that couldn't be bothered with even sending her a card, simply thought if you don't have health insurance that is your problem and too bad. Basically, for that person, she just didn't die fast enough.
Of course there are always those that like to say Republicans have compassionate conservativism. Perhaps there are a few left that do. But they aren't the driving force of this party anymore. The driving force of the Republican Party is now the Tea Party and Alan Grayson was RIGHT, if you get sick they want you to DIE.
The absolute proof of this came at their own debate. The Republican Party held a debate on Monday Sept 12, 2011. Please watch the video, listen to the crowd scream for the patient to DIE.

Please do NOT every claim that Republican/Tea Party is the party of Jesus Christ EVER again!!!!!
On a side note I do believe that Karma is a powerful force, so while I will not wish anything bad on these people, I will wish Karma on them 10 fold. May they walk in the shoes of those they condemn to death for being poor.
