I am very pleased the health care bill passed last night. It was a historic event and I’m glad I was around to see it live on TV. However, I’m upset for a few reasons.
1. This bill is not what it should be. It did not go far enough in changing the health care industry and most of the bill won’t start for another 4 years.
2. I’m sad that the majority was so low. 219 to 212…don’t the people who voted against this bill really understand how bad our health care system is right now? Can they not see how this bill will at least help some of the people in our country right now? Those who voted against this bill are selfish and narrow-minded. John Boehner needs to get out of the tanning both, stop putting all the gel in his hair and learn what the reality is in our country.
3. I’m embarrassed for those who shouted “nigger”, “faggot”, and “baby killer” at our congressmen yesterday. You may not agree with what’s in the bill but using those words is unacceptable. Do they really want to be on the wrong side of history? They are a bunch of sycophants.
Of course in the future history will be re-written by Texas to show it was the republicans who passed this historic legislation. But that’s another story.
Yeah, that screaming of naughty words did nothing except prove to me the character, or lack thereof, of many in our country. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
