It makes you wonder why
Last night I watched hundreds of people rally to try and protect so many about to lose their insurance. I saw people that were scared because passing that bill would be a death sentence to their kids. These people were putting out their heart and soul to do the right thing. Why... because that is what patriotic Americans do.
Then the cameras showed a rally in Ohio. Behind the embarrassment that sleeps in the White House are all these people. They are cheering and clapping. My husband commented "maybe they don't have to worry about their insurance". That led to the discussion about the hospitals and nursing homes. We're from a small town in NW Pennsylvania. The population in generally older. The young people have mainly left to find work. That hospital won't survive. The next closest is thirty miles away. That might not last either. The next choice is a little over fifty miles. The hospitals close and the doctors would leave. Like most little towns, hospitals employee a lot of people. The nursing homes, where do these people go? Not all of them are lucky enough to even have families. If the families were able to care for their elders, they wouldn't have gone to the nursing home. Where would they go?
All those people in Ohio must be so lucky. They must not have any situations in their lives that could be affected by this bill. They stood and cheered. They laughed at someone who went there to make difference. They have ignored their Governor and his warnings. Last night Nero went to Ohio and they watched him fiddle.
The people on the street fighting for insurance for everyone, thank you. Thank you maybe even from Ohio.
