Words of wisdom.

I know about 39% of Americans disagree with me politically and that is okay, this is what democracy is all about but what I can’t get into my head is why do I have to read this in the Washington Post ?

“I’d like the Republicans to do a little soul searching and find out are there some things that you’d be willing to embrace that get to this core problem of 30 million people without health insurance, and dealing seriously with the preexisting-condition issue,” Obama told lawmakers.

Few Democrats expect the request to yield any breakthroughs.

Is it a bad thing to take care of 30 million people ? The expected cost, while tremendous, is still better then the Bush tax cuts IMHO.

I am worried though that the older I get, the more frequent I will need to go to the doc, the less likely I will be able to pay my bills, the more likely I will be left with a serious illness without proper treatment.

Unfortunately while this seems to be in my future, it is reality for millions of Americans today.

So when my kids grow up and ask why they are left to pay our debt I want to to be able to say “it was for the right reason, to help millions of people in this country” and not because we gave a tax cut to companies and rich people, started two wars and waited for the trickle down effect to rain down on all of us, which by the way has yet to happen.

Sorry for the political rant …
