Our True Colors

Before we began our journey to establish affordable and available healthcare reform, I must have lived a very sheltered life. I had no idea that so many American people were selfish, hoarding, non-caring, lying, gullible, and plain didn't know anything about the difference between an economic system and a governmental system. Besides the fact that to support no healthcare reform must also mean they are fantastically wealthy and do not know anyone who has lost their home, their jobs and their health insurance (if they had health insurance which is as good as not having any) due to one catastrophic illness. Or they are not acquainted with any of the 45,000 per year in this country who die because they have no health insurance and so were not treated or were not treated to the fullest potential if they chose to be. The rest of the industrialized nations have seen the light and at least PRETEND to care about their people. Yes, it costs them a bit more in taxes, but not as much as health insurance premiums that protect very little. The world is watching and we are failing miserably. Our true colors are showing and I am very ashamed.
