I have watched with bemused disinterest all of the fussing, arguing, and fighting that has occurred at the Health Care town hall meetings. Because it is under the guise of “health care” that GROWN ADULTS are acting like children and literally getting into fist fights. But the real reason has nothing to do with the medical profession. It has to do with the hate that has come to the service since President Barack Obama was elected.
I find it interesting that most if not all of the people who attend these are WHITE and MIDDLE AGED! The same people who probably already have health care. For them, this is an more about yelling and screaming about “Obama” and less about how to make sure that everyone has access to proper medical care. My brother was recently in the hospital for two weeks and it seemed like almost EVERY DAY he was telling my mother and I about the shoddy treatment he was receiving. Oh did I mention that he is a former PSYCH NURSE and that my mother is a former R.N.? So you can well imagine that with other 50 years worth of knowledge between then, they KNOW EXACTLY what proper care medical care is supposed to look like?
For those people who have more than one brain cell, they should remember that health care is reform is not a new phenomenon. During the Clinton Administration, President Clinton attempted to reform health care along with the aid of his wife, Hillary Clinton. But there was such a backlash against then first lady and current Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, that eventually, it was shelved. Again, the subterfuge was not “health care” , it was to keep a “woman in her place.”
The medical profession has been broken for DECADES and those people fortunate to have quality don’t have the slightest idea how lucky they really are. To know that they are being treated by better medical staff, that the floor nurses are some of the best there are in the field, and the building itself isn’t falling down around you is a blessing. Are these people aware of the fact that we are the only INDUSTRIAL NATION that doesn’t have Universal Health Care? The supposed leaders of the FREE WORLD!
For those people clamoring about getting “their America back” get passed it! Those days ending on November 4, 2008. And trust me, they aren’t coming back! Because for decades Blacks and Latinos have been told by our parents that we could be anything we wanted to be. And that included the President of the United States. And now that it has happened, we aren’t going to stop. There will be a Latino president, an Asian president, a WOMAN PRESIDENT, and a Gay or Lesbian President. YOUR AMERICA IS DEAD. And yelling and screaming at a town hall meeting isn’t going to change that!
