sickened by human behavior

Now there is hope that no American will be locked in to a job they hate because they need the insurance for their family. There is hope that more Americans can start their own businesses and innovative ideas while able to obtain affordable insurance.
An Arkansas community I once lived in is a perfect example of an innovative and talented populace. Most were uninsured. If you’re an uninsured person with a kidney stone or breast cancer or a gallbladder attack your finances and maybe even your life are at risk. No American should ever experience the devastation involved in being turned away from a Doctors office or ER because they don’t have insurance or enough money to be seen.
Most of the people I have met who are unsure if changes are needed have medicare or private insurance. They are satisfied with the way things were and are immensely afraid of this new healthcare reform law. Just know that Americans over 65 or disabled have been taken care of by taxpaying Americans for many years after a hard fought fight. Now,(after another long hard fight) we will also provide for the healthy uninsured working class; which is the last hurdle intended when Medicare was signed in to law in 1965 by the Johnson administration.
Misfortune is an inevitable part of being alive. I see health care reform as a way of rallying together to help each other prepare for inevitable misfortunes. We are our brothers keepers so lets be grateful that healthcare for all has happened.
I just don’t understand the culture that opposed Americans helping Americans. Who were we fighting?
