I don’t discuss politics on my page, but I do comment on matters related to health care., which I believe is a moral issue in America, the richest nation is history. The House of Representatives just passed an Obamacare repeal bill, stripping away subsidies, slashing Medicaid, eliminating the requirement that employers with 50+ workers provide healthcare, letting insurers deny coverage to those with preexisting conditions and charge sick people higher premiums that will price them out of the market and leave them uninsured.<\/p>\n

Notice this passage in the bill that Congress doesn’t want to talk about\u2014our elected leaders in the House and Senate as well as their staffs and families, are EXEMPT from the repeal!!! Wow\u2014they take away everybody else’s healthcare, but keep their own.<\/p>\n
