Lost in the giddy Obamacare rollout 'pile on" are millions of Americans who cannot afford healthcare coverage, and will die premature deaths because of this. No one seems to care about them, the prevaling attitude seems to be "I've got mine, to hell with you!" It seems the politics of the problem is far more imporntant than solving the problem. Have American ...[text shortened]... re fellow citizens, that they'd rather see them die, than upset the status quo? It seems so...😞

Just out of curiosity, what should the US government do next Bill?

Should they create a new entitlement of some kind for the poor or have we arrived at utopia?

Look for just how good ol' Ronnie Reagan balanced the budget when he was governor of Calif. I had a boss who was living there when that happened and he described to me the high numbers of the mentally ill just roaming the streets. He thought it was immoral and borderline criminal. And did I mention that he was a conservative ? Oh, how soon we forget !

We closed them in Michigan for the reasons I mentioned. It did save the State money as well. There is the bipartisanship everyone supposedly wants.

In the fog of decades opponents always blame the other guy.
