when will we learn

I get weary of people always accusing people of things they are not doing. Today the Republican National Party House/ Field slave Michael Steele lambasted President Obama on health care. This is becoming a tired worn out exercise. All of us know that we need a program like this. There are too many people who are uninsured or under insured in this country and the biggest losers are children.

Yes it will cost a lot. Yes the sum is staggering, and yes it might be a program that in the short term may make those who are called to do more (because they have more) to sacrifice. Yet all we hear from friend and foe alike is it will bankrupt the country, saddle the future generation with debt, and that it is unfair to those who will be asked to pay more in taxes.

You hear this on conservative talk (racist) radio. They pummel the administration with words like: Communist, Socialist, Canadian and European, to scare the mindless, or as they were once called the great unwashed, an unattractive but accurate adjective for those who are real Americans!!

Sadly, this segment of our country is being mislead. The truth of the matter is they are the ones that will suffer unless something is done. They are the ones that go to emergency rooms, wait for an eternity (it is when you or your child are ill) to be seen by doctors and then receive a bill for services -- Ooops -- pay before service is rendered and the story goes on and on.

There is a solution to this dilemma: instead of fussing as to how this will impact the budget, the deficit, or the future; how about giving all Americans the same health care that we give Congressional, Senatorial and Executive employees; in other words the people we the people elect. Or let's take it away -- bet that will change a lot of attitudes and silence the Michael Steels of the country and get that god-awful talk radio off the air, as it pollutes all our ears. Later
