What is it going to take to get Tea Party activists to wake up to the fact that the health care bill is a portion of what’s been available to most of the free world since the end of World War II?
The only reason we haven’t had universal health care is the greed of insurance companies and the money that their lobbyists have thrown at our politicians, who have not cared about health care because they have had it at our expense.
Please, before you continue to condemn President Barack Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and our great senator and majority leader, Harry Reid, talk to some people who have become destitute because they had to sell everything to pay for medical procedures that were not covered because of a pre-existing condition.
The heartache and poverty caused by greed, indifference and outright stealing by the insurance companies are only surpassed by the greed of the investors and bankers on Wall Street.
They are the reason people are out of work, and they are the reason that people have lost their homes. Give Obama a chance to rectify the mess that was caused by the eight years of George W. Bush running wild.
