THE VOICE OF EXPERIENCE

Obviously, no one in The Tea Party has ever gotten a letter from a Health Insurance Company saying that because the company had found out that they had a Traumatic Brain Injury when they were eight years old, the company is cancelling their policy. As someone who has gotten such a letter and has consequently felt like all of those of us with "Preexisting Conditions" are regarded as subhuman for the past twelve years, I wish they would just let us be Fully Human again, since Obamacare's specific ban on the preexisting conditions exclusion specifically does restore our Full Humanity. Texas does have a Risk Pool that while required to always be twice the rate of comparable, private coverage, is still better than what people with preexisting conditions who live in States that do not even have this have had to deal with. But for me, it is not even about the money as such anymore. The U.N. Charter Declares descent, basic health care at an affordable rate as a Basic Human Right, and while I know that many on The Political Right detest The U.N., since The U.S. is a member, we are a party to that charter. Therefore, those that want to return us to a totally market driven Health Care System are denying the very Humanity of all of those of us for whom a Profits Over People Based Health Care System did not work. That is why I have felt like those of us with preexisting conditions were regarded as subhuman by The Health Insurance Industry and are regarded as subhuman by Republicans. So perhaps they could think on us before they make another go at derailing Health Care Reform and not think ONLY of trying to embarrass a twice democratically elected President of The United States, and think on the as well: AT LEAST HE DOES CARE, WHY DON'T THEY?
