U.S. History Timeline: American Presidents: After Lincoln / Before Coolidge

Assassination, Amnesty, Emancipation.

The Republican party was formed in 1854 by antislavery groups. Abraham Lincoln campaigned on an antislavery platform and won the election. He was the first Republican president and the first POTUS to be assassinated. In 1863, even though the war had not ended, the Emancipation Proclamation was formally issued. When the Civil War was over, amnesty was offered to the opposition.

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!)

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!!


Back in November 2012, shared these links to suite.io (formerly Suite101) articles via my business page on Google+ - Insurance Mart and Insurance SMART; and hashtagged them #healthcarereform #healthcare #health #obamacare.  Recycling them here at my blog for historical reference purposes.*

• 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• So! 2016 and beyond - Will Obamacare remain law or become a historical reference point like the efforts all the other US presidents before him?  

(Yes it is the last quarter of 2014.  Time waits for no one.  There will be a newly elected leader soon and don't think this subject won't be a hot button topic on his or her "To Do List".  So do your homework, and ready yourselves to understand the PROs and CONs when this matter is being publicly discussed reasonably and intelligently - for the good of all the people.)
