“We will fight until the last breath,” the fighters swore! So battles after battles, they fought on. The spirits were high, the bodies were tired, the coffers emptied, lives ruined, but the glory of the fight will be remembered by the history. What causes are worth such price?
Well being of our descendants forever? The land our ancestors were buried? The name of the family? The destruction of our belief? The union with our love?
No. Americans fight for whether a union of two loved ones can be called marriage, growers of marijuana be treated like murderers, non-Anglo Saxon descents or less fluent English speakers prove their right to live here, or every sick person receive health care.
Republicans lost the first battle, Obamacare passed as laws. The lost the second battle, it was upheld by the Supreme Court. “We shall repeal!” claims the party.
Yes, it is a divided issue. No, Obamacare is not perfect, far from it. But honestly, we are tired and our coffers are far from full. Can we try to make it work instead of fighting to the last breath?
I don’t understand the arguments against individual mandate. If hospital cannot turn away patients and there is no individual mandate, then no one will buy insurance and just get free treatments. The result is all tax payers will pay for the hospitals and we will have nationalized health-care. So you will either pay for it as taxes or as mandate.
