How Do You Have Freedom If You Don't Have Healthcare?
 Unless it's replaced with something better - like single-payer - repealing Obamacare will make life miserable for millions of Americans. If Republicans get their way and scrap the healthcare law that is now more popular than ever - these millions of Americans will once again be at the mercy of the insurance companies who see our bodies and our health as nothing more than profit-engines for their shareholders. This apparently, is Speaker of the House Paul Ryan's idea of freedom. As Ryan put it in a recent tweet, "Freedom is the ability to buy what you want to fit what you need. Obamacare is Washington telling you what to buy regardless of your needs." Which is really weird, because having the ability to buy anything you want isn't generally called "freedom" - it's usually referred to as "wealth". In fact, when it comes to healthcare - the government is the ONLY thing that can make us free. -Thom (What do you think? Tell us here.) |
