This is the last of a newspaper column trilogy regarding the Affordable Care Act (Obama-care) case before the U.S. Supreme Court. Specifically directed to that Court’s Judges, it summarizes the status of U.S. health care and the America’s desperate need to restructure the system.
Your Honors, by placing design of protocol and delivery methodology of U.S. health care into the hands of our finest physicians, with government oversight and nationwide computerization, systemic reform of the system can be accomplished.
While health care costs increase three times faster than the rest of our economy, some 100 million Americans are denied access to proper care. All the while, America’s drug companies and associates, otherwise known as Big Pharma, flood our TV screens with their basic mantra: Consume more drugs.
Your Honors, those who rail against reform of an economic sector that will soon consume 25% of our GDP, half of that unnecessary, are trying to game you. The anti-Obamacare contingent has little to no grasp of the math involved. Or worse, they could not care less about the long term effects of ignoring the steep decline of the health of US citizens while Big Pharma masks the underlying problems with tons of chemicals.
The industry’s army of 7000 lobbyists mounts its daily assault on the US Congress in an all-too-successful, 50 year campaign to continue the 1.5 trillion dollars of annual theft and waste ripped from the lives of U.S. citizens. 3.5 thousand million a day—good grief—are we crazy, or just lazy?
Your Honors will soon issue your decision on the Affordable Care Act and thereby the fate of Big Pharma, the fate of effective health care reform, the ultimate fate of much of our economy, and the health and happiness of 100 million of our fellow citizens.
How can there be any question about what the U.S. Constitution directs us to do in this situation.
Those of us in the working, warrior, middle and lower classes have been conned, slicked and tricked. There’s absolutely no need for over 100 million of us to be without proper health care, particularly since our existing system allows theft, waste and malpractice to blow through enough money to easily cover everyone.
If the facts I have outlined in this and my last two columns in the Chronicle are true, there is only one possible conclusion to be drawn.
If the U.S. Supreme Court cancels or diminishes Obama-care in any way, it will be a monstrous travesty of justice and a grotesque blow against our society.
The system already consumes enough money to care for everyone. All we have to do is grab hold of enough faith, courage and fortitude and believe we can fix this terrible mess, even though it will be a long process.
Along with 9 of the last 12 U.S. presidents, America’s most erudite health care experts have spoken as one on this matter, telling us exactly how reform can be accomplished.
In many columns in the Citrus County Chronicle, and videos on YouTube, I have reported the research, exhibits and conclusions of the experts. My website, ThinkWeCan.com, and YouTube channel will confirm every single fact I’ve outlined.
Had I the chance to stand in front of Your Honors, I would have clearly stated:
Inside the 2600 pages of the Affordable Care Act, Your Honors will find all the required tools to speed America along the path of health care reform. Indeed, proper reform will take years to accomplish. You now have the chance to participate in one of the most exciting, productive and humane initiatives ever undertaken by the United States.
Please preserve this magnificent piece of legislation that took 50 long years to bring into existence. Derisively labeled Obama-care by the very thieves who are bleeding U.S. health care dry as they cause unimaginable suffering to untold millions, Your Honors have the opportunity to end their 50 year reign of greed.
America awaits your decision. 600,000 wounded warriors need your help. Millions of children cry out to you. Those without hope stand before you with downcast eyes, dashed dreams and broken bodies and hearts.
