Josie Robinson’s Story, A Story Applicable To Most - Need For Obamacare Too Real For Many

Josie is a friend of mine. She just lost her husband a few weeks ago. Our state of the art best in the world healthcare system the Right loves to talk about made her life a living hell. The Affordable Care Act is just a start but it will bring some humanity and morality into our healthcare system.

The editor of our local newspaper wrote an article based completely on the talking point promoted by our less than factual mainstream media and Right Wing media. Below is the letter she sent to the editor. One can infer the points of the editor’s piece from her most personal response.

Until Americans get their real stories out, we allow moneyed interest to convince those not yet afflicted with the immorality of our current system to convince them to not support their interest or vote against their own interest. Please read Josie’s story and comment. If you have a story, I want to hear it. I want to blog about it.
