i can't say that i am fully aware of the details that were approved last night, as far as the healthcare bill goes, but what i can say is that we needed to do something.
i was, and am, quite stressed out by the hateful talk on facebook last night and today. it's both sides, reeling at the results. some are venting. some are celebrating. i don't see anyone WITHOUT insurance yelling about what a disaster it is. i do see MANY with insurance cheering, though. that, to me, is telling.
as one friend said, walk a mile in my shoes...or someone else's even more unfortunate shoes, before you go off on your soapbox about how bad this is going to get. seriously? have you tried to go get a checkup lately? oh yeah, that's right. you have health insurance. never mind...
this is all part of my frustrations with my 'conservative' friends. i understand the passion about abortion. i understand the passion about wanting our country to be able to stand on its own and i also understand a need/desire for less government and privacy. but the damage was done long before our current president ever took office. how about giving the man a chance?
ok... back to quietly fuming again ;)
