Body | It appears to be politics as usual in Washington. The Republican minority is busy spreading fear -- this time about healthcare reform; while the Democratic majority infights and spreads indecisiveness. Many uninsured voters like myself believed in the pledges of Democrats to fix the healthcare woes of this country. I certainly do realize that Washington politicians have all of the healthcare coverage they'll ever need. Consequently, when poor uninsured  people in Iowa, or Illinois, or Texas, or Ohio, or in any number of other states die, politicians don't bat an eye. It's just one more dead poor person who'll be replaced by the next crop of newly enfranchised 18 year-olds. However, the remainder of us living sick can and will revolt -- at the polls! People are dying daily in America, and politicians treat the issue like a political football to be used for media sound bites. This whole issue is very personal to me. Last week I lost a major piece of my healthcare when a program stopped being funded by the State of Illinois. So, actually politicians on the state level are playing politics as usual just as much as those in Washington. This is sick!!!  Since the majority in the House and the Senate are Democrats, the vast majority of the blame for the holdup in reform lies with them. All I can say is you're in power now Democratic Party, but it doesn't have to stay that way. Keep playing politics with my life and the lives of millions of other uninsured Americans and see what you get in return at the ballot box during upcoming elections. Heed my warning and act to save Americans, or don't and lose power...the choice is yours!
