Who Staff Health Care Insurance Company
Im a 53-year-old downsized soul, who lost a good job and health insurance coverage three years ago. My good job was as a journalist; I had worked 32 years for The Saginaw (Mich.) information, and my pay was similar to a school teacher. However, the newspaper industry was bad and so I lost my job.
Here in 2009, what are the opinions of my elected federal representatives as a resident of the suffering auto town of Saginaw, Michigan? Well, Michigan is the hardest-hit, most poor state in the nation, with 15 percent unpost. Therefore, we elect Democrats. However, I am repentant to say that my elected Democrats have not engagementen especially active on health insurance reform, also even though they will vote in favor of whatever is desired by President Barack Obama.
U.S. Senator Carl Levin, in office since 1978, seems more interested in unrecognizen amorous affairs and reason suntil. U.S. Senator Deborah Stabenow, in federal office since the middle 1990s after a long tenure in Michigan state government, just isnt very dynamic.
Then we have Congressman Dale Kildee of Flint, whom we inherited in Saginaw because reducing population after the 2000 Census deprived us of having our own “local” U.S. representative in Congress. Dale Kildee has been in Congress for 32 years and will turn 80 in September, but he is single of those egocentric legislators who wont give conscious his tenure for a younger and more obsessed representative, sort of like a Democratic Strom Thurmond. I know this by calling his uncooperative office for info on niceties on the pecuniary stimulus; I was referred to federal websites, with Kildees local office manifestation no local initiative. Dale Kildee just doesnt do much, at least not anymore, from what I see.
As an advocate for President Obama on health insurance, I should be pleased that Levin and Stabenow and Kildee will support President Obama with their votes, but I want more than their votes. I am disappointed in their lack of active advocacy; they sort of seem like deadwood to me.
For all of those years that I worked at The Saginaw News, those 32 years from 1973 to 2006, I had supported central health insurance. My earnings for our family was a very middle income, such as around $50,000 during the later years of this employment, but I was willing to pay higher taxes so that my less fortunate sisters and brothers could get health insurance, even while President Obama assures not to raise taxes on someone making less than $250,000. Why is this income level given so high for those of us with enough income, present or past, that we should be willing to allotment? After all, should not those of us with decent incomes help to support those with lower incomes? I was willing to pay higher sacrifices for so-called “Hillarycare” in 1993 and 1994, but that was defeated. I was willing to unselfishly share, but most of my peers with middle incomes were not willing to share. They were selfish.
Most people in my position, or more fortunate than myself, have been selfish and opposed to national health insurance when it comes to brass tacks. Thats why we didnt have health care reform during 1993 and 1994 under Bill and Hillary Clinton. Selfishness led to our defeat. And when you think of it, this sort of selfishness has led to our defeat ever since President Harry Truman envisioned national health insurance during the late 1940s after World War II.
These idiots who scream against national health care at these town hall forums are very maddening to me. They are mostly low-income and low-middle income people who are screaming against their own self-interests.
The pending defeat of national health insurance is so down to me. Its like we are unable to share for the common good. I demand people may well not be so selfish and so hateful. Shouldnt we all have health insurance?
