A Rant (It's Just Another Day).

You know, I'm not saying this to be pro or anti Affordable Care Act (you realize that's the same things as Obamacare, right?), but you should all remember that easily half the bad shit you hear about the ACA is bullshit. Some is simple ignorance and misunderstanding, but plenty of the info is out and out lies. Personally, I think the entire medical system in this country needs to be torn down and rebuilt from the ground up. Our problems are many and they are deep. BUT, if nothing else is going to happen, then everyone needs access to health care, and most people cannot see a doctor without insurance. ACA is definitely something, and if all the energy that was used to try to stop the ACA was used to try to build something useful whether with the ACA or as a replacement, we could do great things. Never forget this whole mess started with a congress with many members that openly stated their mission to stop Obama's success at anything. This is something that should be unacceptable to anyone participating in a democracy anywhere. An elected official that has decided to make it their mission to stop another elected official from accomplishing anything should be run out of the country, or at the very least out of office. We are not talking about politicians that oppose this or that from another elected official, we are talking about politicians that openly oppose anything from an elected official, regardless of the affect on the public. How has our system gotten so bad? We are up shit creek without a boat and we're all to drunk to swim. Corruption and fraud are so rampant but we all turn a blind eye to it in the never ending fight of "our side" verses "their side". I'm not a Democrat, or an Obama supporter, not in the least, but I'm not going to blindly oppose his very existence and everything he says and does just out of spite. I oppose plenty that has happened on his watch. I disagree with plenty of what his administration has done. I will not, however, allow party politics to persuade me to blindly oppose anything that comes from one particular politician or party. Fuck that.
