Callous Republicans
Play
While Obamacare no doubt has its flaws it is equally obvious that the Republicans have no real alternatives.
When Republican Ronald Reagan was president I was in Hawaii and a woman there needed US$200,000 (Bt6.7 million) for an operation to save her life and she couldn't pay for it. Although the operation had a 70 per cent chance of success they just let that poor woman die. Even now when the Republicans control the White House, the Senate and the Congress they can’t pass a bill that would have saved that woman’s life. The root cause of this health care mess is that the Republicans just don’t care about the lives and health of the poor people, especially if they’re not white.
