Healthcare for All Americans
Thursday I was personally reminded why it is vital to have healthcare in this country. I now am a diabetic which was not good news but still because of my history of cancer I have always found the money to have health insurance. I have to wonder how many Americans are unable to see a doctor to find out any type of medical condition they might not know about and yet these same issues will most likely shorten their lives. Healthcare should be a basic human right for all Americans not just the few that can afford the very high price of health insurance. Politicians who stand up against President Obama’s healthcare plan should be voted out of office at the earliest possible time no matter which party they belong to in this country. Basic needs of life should not be withheld just because people are either middle class or economically deprived in a country with the riches that we have in this country. To do so is a crime against every man, woman, and child in this country which is unforgivable and simple inhumane.
