Access to proper healthcare for all the citizens of the United States of America should be and should have always been a given; not a topic for philosophical debate, as if we're all great minds gathering together on the Areopagus trying to reach an agreement on the purpose and meaning of life, and why - if God does exist - why He couldn't create human beings with perfect health who never need a physician any way!! But since He didn't and some of US do get sick, who are the ones that truly deserve to receive medical treatment?! Cause clearly some of US are more important than others.
(Whatever! Just write it off as my bad attitude!)
President Barack Obama speaks at a town hall meeting on health care reform Thursday, June 11, 2009, at Southwest High School in Green Bay, Wisconsin. (Photo credit: Wikipedia) |
But healthcare is big business here in the USA and if an industry's cash flow is going to be "possibly" disrupted by a "law", well one can expect lengthy heated and robust discussion on the matter for ... ??? ... for forever!!
- The "opposition" to Obamacare made it plain on several occasions that they have a mission to REPEAL OBAMACARE.
- Obama has tried do his best. Best or not, 2016 he has to go.
- So! 2016 and beyond - Will Obamacare remain law or become a historical reference point like the efforts all the other US presidents before him?
