THE COMING STORM

Some of my family and friends who share my position on what I call Justice In Health Care and others have variously called Obamacare, The ACA, The Affordable Care Act or its full actual name, The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act have called some of what I have said on this blog and in live situations extreme and said that I should be reasonable and try to meet the other side half way and compromise in some way. But thee truth is, I have TRIED to be reasonable, I have done my best and bent over backwards to reach some kind of middle ground or compromise. But I have found no one wiling to do this from the other side. The Republican Idea of "compromise" is a total surrender from those of us who support putting Patients Above Profits in Health Care to their position that money counts for more than People's Lives. Mit Romney is the first and only Republican that I have ever heard even acknowledge that the term "Preexisting Condition" even exists. No alternative that they have put forward does anything to address this problem, or the bigger problem with the old system that this was but a symptom of, that it put making money at a higher standard than making people well. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with the idea of companies making a profit when they are selling commodities, the trouble is, Life and Health are not commodities, they are essentials, and Republicans have persistently failed to acknowledge or even understand that. Therefore, with all due respect to peace, love and understanding, there comes a time, there comes a point, when one simply has to stop apologizing for who one is, stop retreating, turn to face the foe, draw a line in the sand, plant one's feet firmly on the ground, square one's shoulders and draw one's sword. For me, as someone who now has Private Health Insurance for the first time, that time has come. I am NOT going back to being treated as a subhuman because of a mistake I made when I was an eight year old child. I am The Towering Inferno of Justice. I AM THE COMING STORM. Those who agree with my position on Justice In Health Care have two choices: draw your own swords and stand beside me, or get and stay The Hell out of my way, because as of this moment, 12:08A.m. on the morning of Sunday, February Ninth, 2014, I am taking NO prisoners.
