Why Are The Only Constituents Facing Catastrophic Healthcare Changes From Republican Districts?

I watched for several hours today as Congress drilled Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of Health and Human Services, (you know the agency responsible for the implementation of the Affordable Care Act), (or as Republicans have labeled it for Devious Political Purposes), “Obamacare”, because they know that white people who are adamantly opposed, hateful and or fearful about a (Black Man) running the (Whitehouse) would look upon this law with a Negative Racist Charge.

This has been proven time and time again with public opinion polls when the question was asked: “Do you approve of Obamacare?” and the answer was a stern “no!”

However, when the benefits of the Affordable Care Act were explained and the question was asked: Do you approve of “The Affordable Care Act”; the answer was a definite: “Yes!”

You see! Every devious move Republicans make are not by accident, they are by design.

And these moves are not designed to help Average Middleclass American Citizens or those who are poor or struggling to get into the Middleclass.

These moves are designed to protect the interests of Rich and Powerful People and Corporations who they are heavily dependent upon for financing to keep them employed.

And in the interest of full disclosure, Democrats are dependent upon Rich and Powerful People and Corporations to finance their campaigns as well with one significant difference:

The difference with the Democrats is very important to note: (for the most part), it is the level of Civic and Social Responsibility that the rich people and corporations that Democrats deal with aspire to, as opposed to those rich people and corporations that Republicans deal with like the Koch Brothers and others who would destroy the world for future generations by poisoning the planet for PROFITS.

And the one common theme that I observed by Republican Members on the Committee is that they are all very concerned with the fate of all of the people in this country who are unable to obtain healthcare as a result of the “Glitches” inherent in the Healthcare.Gov website.

However, these are the very same people who tried to destroy President Obama’s Signature Accomplishment: “The Affordable Care Act” and the country with it; by shutting down the U.S. Government for 16 days, and pushing us to the brink of Economic Disaster by attempting to refuse to raise the Debt Ceiling.

And now; just a little over 2 weeks after the shutdown of the U.S. Government in one of far too many attempts to destroy Obamacare, they are sitting in front of the American People trying to make pretend that they are outraged by the fact that the website entrance to the ACA is not functioning properly which is preventing thousands of Americans from signing up for healthcare.

Republicans think that we are stupid.

Are we?

Let us not forget that for over 3 years now, Republicans voted to “Repeal” the Affordable Healthcare Act 42 times.

When those attempts failed; they tried to “Defund Obamacare”.

And now that the website is having problems, (which are consistently being corrected), they are now outraged and concerned about something not working right that they did not want to work right in the first place.

These are the same kinds of lies, treachery and deceit Republicans attempted to use to destroy this president when 4 Americans died in Benghazi.

Instead of trying to get to the bottom of the incidents and conditions that led to the death of 4 Americans at that embassy so that these types of attacks could be prevented in the future, they used these deaths to Politicize, point fingers and to attack Susan Rice because she was a close ally of President Obama, as they are now doing with Kathleen Sibelius

I am not saying that some hearings on very important issues such as the Benghazi Attacks, the IRS Scandal, the NSA, etc. are not necessary.

What I am saying is: Behind every act that humans carry out, intent makes a big difference in the outcomes of the results of those acts.

If the intent is for a positive purpose, then even though things may initially go wrong, the intentions of the people who are involved in getting a positive result, usually wind up getting a positive result in spite of the fallibility of the human species.

However, if people are doing something with evil intentions behind it, then this will usually result in a very negative result.

I almost died in 2002 as a result of not having healthcare even though I was gainfully employed.

So personally I think that providing millions of Americans with Affordable Healthcare who would otherwise go bankrupt or die without it, is a worthwhile and good intentioned goal in spite of the difficulties encountered on the way to getting there.

So I think that it has and should continue to be successful.

However, Republicans have one and only one goal in life, which is the same goal that they have had for the last 4+ years, and that goal is to destroy this administration even if they have to destroy the country and all of the people in it to do so.

And that brings me to my final point: Why is it that the only people who are having Catastrophic Problems with their healthcare as a result of the Affordable Care Act are only in the Republican Districts that these people represent?

It’s because the people who represent these districts, have been completely unwilling and uncooperative with President Obama’s Administration in ironing out all of the problems and concerns about the Affordable Care Act.

President Obama has asked these Republican Representatives time and time again to work with him to fix the things within this law that will make it better, so that as many Americans as possible can get the healthcare protection that they need.

And they have refused.

So if you are a member of one of these districts, and you have received a notice from your insurance company notifying you of the fact that you have been cancelled, or that your premiums are increasing, (which is something that happened before the ACA was even signed into law), and as a matter of fact, is one of the things that the ACA is designed to prevent; then you need to ask those people who are supposedly “representing you”, why they failed to work with the president to correct these problems over the past 3 years.

Now you can ask-but I am almost 100% certain that you won’t get an honest answer, so I am going to answer for them :

Your representatives don’t wont “Obamacare” to work.

So they would rather let you experience these kinds of problems as a result of the changes that insurance companies are making as a result of this new law, rather than working together with Democrats and the President to make sure that you understand these changes and know how to respond to them to retain or replace your healthcare plan if necessary.

This is the truth that they won’t tell you.

And one thing that I have always known is that, it is one thing for the enemy, (who is against you); lies to you.

But it is another more sinister and dangerous thing when your friends who are supposed to have your best interest at heart, lies to you.

Think about that!

Avoiding Government Shutdowns In The Future

Please vote in the 2014 Midterm Elections on November 4, 2014.

Our failure to do this in Mass, in 2010, allowed far too many of the local politicians in the U.S. who should not even be elected as Chief Dog Catcher to be put in positions of power that have allowed them to tamper with our voting and other rights to a dangerous point of degradation, pushing us backwards towards inequality.

Driven by Racism and Hatred for certain groups and classes of human beings,(especially President Obama), these "People" have began to not only attack the president's rights, but to attack the rights of other American Citizens, (many who have struggled for hundreds of years just to be classified as Human).

As one Socially Aware White Journalist so aptly put the sentiments of the Black Community into words: "First they were coming for President Obama; and now their coming for all of us".

And they will never stop coming for us unless we stop them through our Political and Social Awareness; and our Political and Social Activism.

I hope to see you at the polls on November 4, 2014.

We have got to keep the Senate and take back the House.

Remember! When Senator Obama ran for president in 2008, he said: "Change WE Can Believe In", not Change I Can Believe In.

Please do your part to remove the Cancer known as the Tea party from our Government for the benefit of everyone who wants to live in a Safe, Productive and Civil Society.

What Did This Latest Republican Manufactured Crises Teach Us?

1. This is a Democracy and Majority Rules

2. Americans refuse to be taken hostage by a few ideological Idiots who cannot deal with the reality that America is changing; (for the better, for everyone).

3. How much power “We the People” actually have when we actively participate in our Economic, Political and Justice Systems in America.

4. That we must continue to fight against those who feel that the world is theirs and that GOD created them not as equals, but as superior beings because of the color of their skin.

5. That Democrats, (who I am very proud of), can stick to their guns and support the President when that support is indeed justified. Because if one Political Party can stick to their guns and unite around lies that hurt the American People as a whole, then certainly Democrats who have the truth can do the same for the benefit of the country, which they did.

6. When Democrats, Republicans and the President put the people of this country first by working together, instead of practicing Racism, Hatred, Greed and Political Ideology, then America is a much better and safer country for us all.

America is in no way perfect, and it will only get worse if we continue to make pretend that it is.

However, we have made significant progress over the past 60 years as a result of the Activism of our Forefathers and Mothers, and all of the decent people of all races who had the vision, forethought and sense of fairness to know that when something is wrong, positive changes need to be made.

Republicans welcomed the Tea Party and gave them power. And now they are turning against them using the very power that Republicans gave them.

And finally! The Slave Master Fantasies that these people have in regards to President Obama and other minority members of this nation was, and will continue to be rejected by the Majority of Americans in this country.

Shameful Republican Shields

Shields the Republicans use to hide their selfish, Hateful and Destructive Deeds behind.

1. WWII Veterans

After their irresponsible and dangerous behavior led to the shut down of the Federal Government; Republicans showed up at the WWII Veteran’s Memorial after veterans traveled cross country to visit the memorial in their honor for a photo op, to give the illusion that they give a damn.

If they gave a damn, it wouldn’t have been closed in the first place.

2. At the same location, a Republican Member of Congress verbally attacked a Female Parks Police Officer for trying to do her job by preventing WWII Veterans from entering a park that was officially closed as a result of what? -The GOP Government Shutdown.

3. Children with Cancer

But the most despicable shield of all was their attempt to use Children who have cancer as a shield by singling out the program sponsored by the National Institutes of Health that was closed by their Government Shutdown.

This program administers Experimental Drugs to children in a desperate attempt to prolong their lives.

Once again, if they were so big on Humanitarianism, then Public and Media Outrage over this program would not be necessary.

This program that effectively prolongs the lives of very sick children would have been a major consideration on the part of Republicans, and as a result of conscious, they would not have just sit back and let this program and other important programs like it shutdown in the first place.

And to add insult to injury, Republicans have been publically praising the work of the very Law Enforcement Officers who are working for free now because of them.

These officers providing FREE Services protected their asses last week, when a Connecticut woman tried to ram through one of the gates at the Whitehouse, (with a 1 year old child in the car). She then proceeded to Capitol Hill where she was shot and killed by police.

So in spite of the shooting at the Naval Base a few weeks ago, and the incident that happened last week at the Whitehouse and the Capitol, Republicans still want to cut more Mental Health Services for people like these who are very troubled and could possibly be saved by adequate Psychiatric Services.

Here’s the truth about how Republican see things:

Republicans want to be the only people in American who are Safe, Secure and Productive.

In addition, Republicans are also trying to Pass Small, Selective, Temporary Pieces of legislation that they know the country is most outraged about because they see it on TV.

They are doing these things to Run and Hide for Political Coverage from their Dirty Deeds. in the hope that they can sell people other than those from the Low Information Districts that they represent on these vicious lies.

America, this is what Republicans have been doing ever since President Obama was successfully and Legally Elected to the Office of President of the United States of America on November 4, 2008.

As a matter of fact, they were working on the things that you see coming to fruition now, even before President Obama officially took office.

They are continuing to do the very things that led us to where we are today; on the brink of a complete breakdown of the U.S. Government and the Destruction that will follow.

It’s called Anarchy.

And if and when it gets to that point, I guarantee you and all other Sensible Americans that this will be Dangerous and Deadly for us all.

But the one positive thing that we can all gain from this story is the fact that when Public Outrage occurs in direct response to what Republicans do, or in this case refuse to do, they immediately respond to our outrage, which is why I always try to remind people of just how powerful “We The People” are.

The problem is that unlike “The People” in other countries; when the government is screwing with them, their government cannot ignore the outrage of these people.

But here in America, we have a tendency to just let the government do its thing, rather what they’re doing is good for us or not.

I can tell you for sure that this Government Shutdown that has been created by one small group of Racists Idiots in the Republican Party, and those who are afraid of these people because they are more worried about getting reelected as opposed to seeing that the American People are alright while they do have the power, is not good for America, and will grow increasingly more destructive the longer it lasts.

And if we default on our National Debt on October 17, 2013, GOD only knows what will happen to this country, because before now, no one has been irresponsible, destructive or stupid enough to try it. We should not be outraged about 1,2,or 3 programs shutting down, we should be actively pissed about the fact that the government is shut down by a few idiots who don’t care about what happens to people as a result-Period!

G.R.C.

Whose Fault Is This?

Well! That depends on rather you are susceptible to lies or searching for the truth.

The First Lie: Both sides are at fault.

No!

President Obama has been bending over backward since his term began to find Common Grounds with Republicans who have been known as the “Party of Racist” for quite some time now. However, no one negotiates with someone who they want to fail.

Congress is at fault.

No!

The Democratic Party of Congress has been trying to bring multiple pieces of legislation to the floor for debate, but the Racist Republican part of Congress has refused to vote on these proposed pieces of legislation.

They won’t even allow their members to vote on these pieces of legislation, which is what they are paid to do.

It’s everybody in Washington’s fault.

No!

There are some people in Washington who really came there to do the best they can for the American People and not just for the Koch Brothers, Big Pharma, Banks, Oil Companies, Millionaires, Billionaires and Wall Street

It’s President Obama’s Fault.

No!

They have blamed President Obama for all the damage that they have been creating since before President Obama became president…..damage to our economy, our culture of Fairness, Justice and Equality for all, and the Progressive Spirit of our nation.

It’s so amazing to see a group of people who have not been doing their jobs ever since November, 2008, blaming others for the SHIT that they themselves have been doing and have not been doing, because they HATE the Black President and “Want Him To Fail”; which means they want America to fail.

And what’s even more amazing and frightening, is the percentage of people who are not tuned in to the truth who believe this Bullshit.

But these things are not accidents.

These are well planned Strategic, Political Moves initiated, (at the pleasure of and with assistance from the Koch Brothers and other Right Wing, Racist Rich People),created by Gerrymandering almost Purely White, Purely Republican, Purely Racist and Purely Ignorant Districts by redrawing these cities and towns to provide cover and support for the dangerous and stupid shit that they do; including shutting down the Federal Government, and in a few weeks possibly refusing to raise the Debt Ceiling which will make the United States default on the debt that it owes.

This could crash the U.S. Economy and the World Economy.

No one really knows what kind of Detrimental Effects this will have on the Global Economy, because no U.S. Government Official has been stupid enough to try this.

Never!

Congress has been raising the Debt Ceiling as a matter of Standard Procedure since the days of Ronald Reagan’s Presidency.

Here are some facts about why the other party shut the government down and the lies they attempt to use to sell this to the American People.

First of all: The Affordable Care Act is not a piece of legislation as they have been successfully convincing a small segment of our society for over 3 years now; a bill that needs to be passed.

The Affordable Care Act dubbed by the other party as “Obamacare” has already been passed in both houses of congress, signed into law, challenged for Constitutionality, (by the same Idiots who are responsible for this shutdown), litigated in the Supreme Court of the United State of America and upheld as the Law of the Land, which is where it currently stands and will continue to stand for what I hope will be as long as America Stands.

And I say that because I almost died while working for the State of Maryland as a Contract Employee without health insurance.

I tried to buy it on my own but could not afford it.

And when I finally found a plan that I could afford on my own, (Blue Cross & Blue Shield), wouldn’t sell me a policy because my height was disproportionate to my weight, (Pre-Existing Condition). I also tried to buy a State Group Policy before Open Enrollment and the Customer Service Rep said that I would probably have to get another job or 2 just to pay for it.

And by the time Open Enrollment came and I had an opportunity to purchase Group Health Insurance at a cheaper price, I was already in the hospital where I was told that they did not know why I wasn’t already dead.

It’s also important to note that President Obama ran on Jobs, Fairness, Forward Movement and yes! “Obamacare”, and won the majority of the votes in 2004 and 2012.

The very things that they are now trying to destroy, are the very things that the majority of Americans voted for-So in essence, these people are telling you and me, to go to hell.

You going?

Anyway!

The Democratic Party’s leader has a jobs bill sitting on his desk which has been sitting there for 3 years waiting for the other party to just discuss the possibility of passing it, so that millions of Unemployed Americans can get a job.

I didn’t say pass it.

I said to just debate the merits of the bill on the floor, (which is what both houses of congress are paid to do).

Their job is to pass legislation for the president to sign into law.

The Democratic Party’s leader has been a staunch advocate for fixing our Infrastructure, improving our Education System, Improving Healthcare, Enforcing Regulations on Major Corporations like BP, (who got away with Murder when the Oil Rig blew up in New Orleans killing 11 people) as a result of a problem that they were aware of.

And the Democratic Party has been begging the other party to VOTE on all of these bills that were designed to protect and serve the Citizens of the United States of America for the good of the entire country-Not just the Rich, the powerful, the well-connected or those who share this Racial Hatred towards President Obama and people who look like him, or the White People who voted for him and are supporting his agenda for America.

But these people are Hell Bent on destroying President Obama’s Administration and reversing all of the Progress that we have made as a society; even if it means destroying the whole country to do it.

These people have no Peripheral Vision, no Forethought, no Consideration for others and no World View, because their entire world exists in a bubble where people get their facts from Rightwing Conservative Media Sources that exploit their ignorance and hate for profit to the detriment of the entire nation.

But what did the other party do?

They did what they have been doing since President Obama was elected in 2004 and reelected in 2012, and what they continued to do up until 12:00AM October 1, 2013-Delay, Obstruct, Rebel and Hate the new President of the United States because of the color of his skin; in much the same way that Racists treated Jackie Robinson as the First African American Major League Baseball Player.

These people are being controlled like puppets on a string by rich people who are far more intelligent than they are, because their stupidity is intensified by their lack of concern for the American People, their hatred of President Obama and their lack of skill when it comes to how to Safely and Effectively Govern in a Major Superpower Country like the United State of America.

The fact of the matter is: Republicans do not like anything that helps people who find themselves in touch situations, unless they themselves are in a tough situation, in which case they will without a second thought; take advantage of all the benefits and advantages that the United States Government has to offer (THEM).

For over 50 years presidents have been trying to implement a program to provide Healthcare at Affordable Rates for all of our citizens.

And for over 100 years they have failed, until President Obama was elected and risked his job by using up most if not all, of his Political Capital to get the Affordable Care Act passed into law, (not for Purely Political Reasons), but because he actually watched his mother die from cancer while trying to figure out how she could pay for healthcare to save her own life.

He simply does not want to see millions of other Americans suffer and die like his mother did, because she could not afford healthcare.

This is Personal for President Obama.

So that makes the Affordable Care Act a landmark piece of legislation that will put President Obama into the history books as not only the First African American President, but as the First President to Successfully Pass a healthcare law that helps millions of Americans who could otherwise wind up dying as a result of being without it.

Republicans do not want a Black Man to get credit for something as significant as this, because they are racist.

Just like they don’t want a Black Man to get credit for repairing the damage that they created to our Nation’s Economy, Crumbling Infrastructure, Educational Systems or anything else that can change the direction of this country in a positive manner.

They want President Obama to destroy his legacy while denying millions of people a chance to stay alive if they are involved in an accident or get sick.

He should not accept this.

And we should not accept this.

This is why the Government is currently shutdown.

So if you are receptive to the truth as opposed to being susceptible to lies, you already know who is responsible for this Government Shutdown.

Obama Cares!

Have you heard of the Affordable Care Act? which was branded by Republicans as "Obamacare" to create negativity in the minds of the hateful racists who are not interested in the survival and excellence of our country if that survival and excellence comes as a result of efforts by a Black Man.

These people would rather die first before they would accept something that could very well save their lives in an Emergency Medical Situation in the future.

Well I say let them!

For all others who want to live, grow and possibly prosper in our country, I advise you to go to The Affordable Care Website beginning October 1, 2013 and sign up for the Affordable Care Act, so that you can protect yourself and your loved ones from Financial Ruin in the face of a Medical Crises, which we all have had or are going to have because we are human and prone to these types of Catastrophic Events in our lives.

Protect yourselves with "Obamacare".

Because Obama Cares!

Sign up for "Obamacare" beginning October 1, 2013.
