My Friends this picture was done by the brilliant artist Wallace Ingalls of Vote Blue Facebook/Twitter . I requested it to make a point about how important having healthcare is  ! Yes We have The ACA thanks to President Obama and his determination to Get it Done

But this Dream started actually with President Theodore Roosevelt (R) over 100 years ago. His nephew President (D)  Franklin Delano Roosevelt also championed the cause but faced a choice Social Security or Universal Health care ! He chose Social Security which was a wise choice. But he never gave up on the Uninsured. His successor President Harry Truman (D)  had it in the Platform in 1948 ! But in 1960 A Young President John Fitzgearld Kennedy (D)  took up the cause ! And President Lyndon (D) Passed Medicare and Medicaid insuring the elderly disabled  and some poor !

But Private insurers were not making sure people like me with preexisting conditions had healthcare. So President Barack Obama (D) championed the cause and got us the ACA ! Which saves lives daily !

Still not all are covered many like myself Amy Rodriquez Gen Rodriquez and 1 million in Fl sit unisured still ! Why in 2015 ? Because of ideology – That’s why ! Florida and 19 other ststes will not #ExpandMedicaidNow ! Leaving many to potentially suffer and die like 32 yr old single mom of 3 Charlene Dill did because she was too poor to pay for insurance and Fl refused to Expand Medicaid ! This was a preventable death ! Many more lives can be saved if we simply #ExpandMedicaidNow !

President Kennedy envisioned a kind America that helped all ! And was fair for those who life isn’t fair to ! President Obama gets it and wants to see all insured ! Its the humane thing to do ! We simply must stop letting ideology and expense get in the WAY OF HUMAN LIFE ! We can fulfil a Presidents Dream for America or keep it a nightmare of LIP LOW INCOME POOL FUNDS which next year end many more will be uninsured again ! LIP is a band aid and the real solutions are THE ACA MEDICAID EXPANSION and Eventually Single Payer ! …..So I for one want President Kennedy’s dream realized of a kind America and an end to this nightmare of selfish greed hate and a lack of compassion ! Which do you want ?
Thank you God Bless
