Scott Brown, President Obama and Healthcare

I was recently asked what I thought about Scott Brown defeating Martha Coakley. Quite honestly, I don’t care. What I care about is what the people in office do with their time there — regardless of what their political affiliations are.

I believe that just about every member of our Congress, the Executive office and the Supreme Court, as well as the local governments for our states, counties and cities have let us down.

They are putting their own motives (which has been is “die Democrats” or “die Republicans” for far too long) ahead of people getting the quality health care they deserve. It sickens me that they are so busy trying to make the opposite party look to be “wrong” that they don’t take the time to sit down together and make something work.

People are dying from cancer, suffering from Alzheimer’s and children are still dying from SIDS. Kids are unable to get cavities fixed because their parents cannot afford healthcare through their employers or get it through the government; and they cannot afford the prices charged by dentists. People are STARVING for Heaven’s sake!

Honestly, I don’t care who is in office. I really don’t. I just want them to do something– anything to help those who currently cannot help themselves.

Yes, some people will abuse the system. But quite honestly, I don’t give a damn. Let them do it. If that means that we can prevent premature death and enliven a real quality of life through healthcare and preventative medicine, let’s do it! If a some people “sponging” means that the mother of five can take her kids to the doctor when they are sick, and she can get herself a mammogram once a year, then that is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!

Our society has become too obsessed with “me! me! me!” to even see the suffering that is right in front of them. 1 in 8 children in America is suffering from malnutrition of some kind! How can we let this happen?? The entire nation of Haiti is in unrest because of the recent events. And we are bickering about political offices .. It makes me sick.

Perhaps the Mormon Law of Consecration should be nationalized so that us self-proclaimed “Christians” can see exactly how badly other people need our help; and how often we can actually help them.

If you care for yourself, your family and your neighbor, please write to your Senators and House Reps. Tell them to WORK TOGETHER to come up with a viable, long-lasting and cost-effective plan to ensure that every person gets taken care of. Not just the people in your family or on your street or in your city. But across the cities and states of this great nation; reaching down into the slums and ghettos, and out to the “hickvilles” and metropoleis, and across the world. If one of us fails, we all do.

It is all of us, or none.
