I feel like crying ,


Lord in heaven are we in trouble.  I just had a long conversation with people I know that had a child born premature. This child had a tough go to pull through and still has therapy and other medical issues. Although they had health insurance they eventually owed almost three million dollars to hospitals and Drs.  They actually had to declare chapter 13 in order to keep their house. The husband works very hard for a small firm and because of his child the firm had to get cheaper insurance. This couple still has ongoing medical bills of over $20,000 a month.  They are just hanging on by a thread and I admire them for their bravery and calmness.

I did find it odd when I broached them with the Idea of a national health care plan. The first thing the wife said was “I hear they have trouble in Canada seeing a DR. They say the wait is very long” The husband chimed in with “once this Obama care starts things will only get worse “
I almost cried. If these people are going to vote against President Obama what chance does our country have? If these people are against a single payer system and the ACA, what chance does reason have in the future of our country? I really do feel like crying. I feel so depressed
