The GOP's final solution.

It’s called Obamacare because that’s the label given by Republicans. Really, it’s the Affordable Care Act. Adopted by Congress. Into law.  Almost exclusively by Democrats. Designed to make health care affordable. For virtually everyone. About time. Long overdue. I would have preferred a single payer system. Similar to Medicare.  Which I have, fortunately. Because I’m a senior citizen.  Everybody should be so lucky.

Anyway, there currently are 40-some million Americans without health insurance. The ACA, aka Obamacare, is intended to bring America a step closer to universal health care.  It’s not the ideal plan. But it’s a step in the right direction. And far better than what we have now.

The obstructionist Republicans, of course, would settle for the status quo. In large part because they despise and hate Obama. Maybe because he’s black. And Republicans tend to be inherent racists.  They were born that way. The racism is inbred. But so is their love for rich people. They couldn’t care less about poor people. They think of the poor as shiftless, and lazy. The Republican heroes are billionaires and millionaires. When a trillionaire arrives, he'll be given revered status as a god. Republicans bowing and worshiping at his feet.  They would even pay for the privilege of kissing his royal ass.

That’s the way I see things. Republicans would just as soon keep the poor and downtrodden uninsured. They see that as a way to solve the problem of too many poor amongst us. Better to let them die. If Nazis were still around, they would send the poor to the gas chambers. The Republicans aren't quite so heartless. They would allow the poor to die of more natural causes. But  their real motive: They don’t want to spend money on the gas. They prefer looking for a  cheaper alternative. They don’t want to waste a single penny on the final solution. --Jim Broede
