I am going to give you my personal look at Obamacare from a perspective which may seem a bit strange but in reality it should be alarming. The interesting thing is that most of all of my childhood I went without even some of the basic things people assume most everyone has. The only healthcare I had as a child was Medi-cal...which is the program upon which Obamacare was designed.
My father worked several part-time jobs as well as his full-time job as a Baptist minister. He did everything possible to provide for us, worked his fingers to the bone and still managed to comfort the people in our church and help them deal with their own problems. Not once did any congregation we served bother to possibly consider that making sure the minister and his family had any healthcare or even some of the basic necessities in life was one of their priorities. They did however call at any time of the day or night for his help and he was there for them.
Sometimes our whole family was there for them. I was a very experienced babysitter, cook, and housekeeper before I was even 11. This is not bitterness I speak from---it is my attempt at revealing to you that many who are among the uninsured are hardworking people often working in service-oriented positions which simply aren't offered healthcare.
So....let me get back to Medi-cal......the mentor of Obamacare. When I hear people on the Obamacare bandwagon I think they probably don't really understand what they are supporting. Many have never been on medi-cal.
