Obamacares

Rant for the day off topic but can't help it.

I keep hearing about "Obamacare" which is nothing to be ashamed of since it shows he does care about people, not the corporations controlling their healthcare insurance. He doesn't think that companies should have the power to tell a new Mom after she delivers a child with birth defects the child will be too expensive to take care of. He doesn't think that someone finding out they have cancer after working all their lives should be shut off because staying alive will be too expensive. Just as he doesn't think that someone without getting insurance should just be able to have the rest of the country cover their care when they find out they are the patient with cancer and no insurance simply because they didn't want it when they were healthy.

This is not the only thing that gets me stirred up.

When you hear some of the talking heads on radio shows talking about the evils of "socialism" maybe you should consider the tornadoes taking out towns, leaving thousands homeless and killing many. FEMA shows up funded by taxpayer dollars. The National Guards show up funded by taxpayer dollars and civilians show up to take care of those in need.

Over and over again I keep wondering who decided that taking care of people was a bad thing and taking care of companies was a good thing? Doesn't sound fishy to you? These same folks saying that the oil companies should keep getting what they get from taxpayers also say that people don't deserve Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid on top of not deserving to be able to go to the doctor's office without being sent into the poor house. They complain about things people have paid into but want corporate welfare to continue? Is the deficit important or not? Do people matter to them or not? What happened to all the "family values" these same folks used to talk about? They proved they don't care when they keep going after someone who does. Every time they say "Obama care" I say, yes he does but they don't.
