Barack Obama
Republican Mitt Romney, who is running against President
Obama in this year's presidential election, was booed by the decades old
NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People). The
booing came when Romney criticized President Obama's healthcare program
dubbed Obamacare.
Some do feel inclined to defend Obama based on race, but
people have to face facts regarding the massive costs associated with
Obamacare and the gaps in the system. So many people have opted out of
aspects of Obamacare that it ceases to be congruent anymore, but that's
what happens when a healthcare plan tries to interfere with people's religious
beliefs (i.e. abortion).
As stated on the website previously, Obamacare needs a lot
of work or it is going to bankrupt America more than the wars in the Middle
East. Legislative action needs to be taken regarding pharmaceutical
companies and medical equipment manufacturers that greatly mark up the
price of their products to exorbitant levels damaging the national deficit.

For example, I know someone with asthma and each time she
has to buy an inhaler it comes to over $50, as she can't afford health
insurance and certainly will not be able to afford the premiums of
Obamacare. Correct me if I'm wrong, but air is free. Compressing it into a
tin you shipped in from China for a few cents per unit and adding a bit of
medicine to it that is dirt cheap in large quantities, doesn't justify
charging over $50 for an inhaler.
This brings me back to my ongoing point about the corporate
sector gouging the American people. If it's not the banks, it's the pharmaceutical
industry. If it's not the pharmaceutical industry it's Hollywood (really,
$12.00 for a lousy movie ticket). Why are their no anti gouging laws to
address these matters.
But back to Obamacare. Adding $1 trillion dollars to the
already battered national deficit and demanding people pay premiums on
Obamacare many will not be able to afford, especially in this terrible
financial climate when many aren't even able to find jobs, is not going to
solve the problem.
However, some, not all in Washington, on both sides of the aisle,
would rather take this costly, debt ridden route, than offend and upset
their wealthy campaign donors in the corporate sector. Make no mistake,
there is a reason corporations lavish large donations on politicians - it's
to keep their greed unchecked.
