Ok, so once again the dread shadow of ReBoobican Alternative Sponsored Healthcare (Or RASH as I like to call it.) rears its ugly ass (HAH See what I did there, ass...rash...? I say, its a joke, son! Don't you get it?) preparing to fart on pretty much everyone who isn't at least in the Upper Middle Class. After many many moons of failed attempts to repeal the ACA, our beloved and oh so caring Cantservative Leaders are poised to feed us a truly bitter pill of poop poorly covered in a shell of imagined caring. (Sorry seems to be a butt joke day. Ever have one of those?)
Now keep in mind that, this is now the second attempt to push this thing through and the first one failed royally because even the Cantservatives could see what was inside the candy shell. However, this one does seem to have a bit more momentum so there is a chance that it could pass both House and Senate and even make it all the way to the POTUS to sign. So, we'll just have to wait to see how bad this train wreck is going to be. Anyone who has bothered to actually read and understand this piece of tripe (I HAVE! OH, ME! ME! ME!) knows what a full on cloister flock (Get it? Same initials...similar sounds...Meh ask a Veteran.) this roll of toilet paper is going to be.
Sadly, my rant isn't about this latest incarnation of TrumpCare. I mean talking about how organized politics is going to screw over the American People is kind of like commenting on whether or not there will be gallons of Sweet Tea at a Southern Family Reunion. Or, if you are of a more literary mindset, reporting that the dolphins are still missing. (Douglas Adams...Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe Trilogy...Book 4....So Long and Thanks for all the Fish? READ A BOOK!) Nah, my rant is a little more simple than that.
So as long as I can remember, forces within the government on both sides have been trying to push some form of Government Sponsored/Controlled Healthcare. Both sides have tried off and on for decades to create something only to have it shot down before it got too far. Along comes the ACA, the severely flawed but still breathing creation of the Damnocrats. They manage to pass it into law despite boisterous opposition from the ReBoobicans and it has kept plugging along doing the best that it can ever since.
Within seconds (nanoseconds...picoseconds?) of its passage, the hue and cry from ReBoobicans and Liarbertarians (Still looking for a better wordage for that one) began. "Gubberment don't need ot be involved in healthcare!" (Keep in mind that ReBoobicans pushed versions of Universal Healthcare in the past on both a state and national level, but moving on..." "Let the free market decide!" and so many other quotes became the battle cry from their aging mouths. Many of these shouty types are still running around DC today. (Well, okay most of them are older than Moses, so they aren't really running, but creeping around DC just sounds spooky.) A whole chunk of them are currently working on TrumpCare 2.0...3.0? I lose count.

So here's my thing (Look closely). I'm okay if you feel that the Government shouldn't be involved in healthcare. I'm okay if you feel like if a person cannot afford Healthcare, then they should just pray for a miracle and hope for the best. Hells, I'm even okay if you feel that all of those parasitic, greedy leeches suckling off the government teat should just die and reduce the excess population. (Charles Dickens...A Christmas Carol...? Ah come on! It's a classic!) That is all well and good. I won't even judge you (much) for it.
BUT (Wow what a big but!) if you (and in this case I am talking about the ReBoobicans and Liarbertarians in DC not you...yeah you, the guy sitting at his computer eating canned cheese and Oreos while drinking a Vente Unicorn Frappachino. Seriously dude, eat some veggies.) truly feel that people should just be left to fend for themselves, own that crap! If you feel that the poor and Lower Class should use the poorly funded and poorly equipped Free Clinics and if (as is so often the case) there ain't a Free Clinich within range, they should just die, preach it loud and clear! Bring out your inner Scrooge (Dickens...Christmas Car...ah the heck with it) and proudly creep around.
See, the Cloister Flock occurs when these proud individuals who preached, "Meh, the hell with y'all" when it comes to healthcare during the time when they had no chance of actually accomplishing anything are suddenly faced with the YUGE backlash from the people that keep them in office if they actually succeeded in practicing what they preached. These Pallid Plodding Preachers are suddenly forced to realize that if they win and get what they want, they will most certainly lose.
So that is how we wind up with the steaming pile of poop that is the current version of TrumpCare. ReBoobicans must give the illusion that they are really and truly doing their best to provide good and loving healthcare for all while also doing as little as they actually can so that they can convince the people that think like them that they don't really want any of that Universal Healthcare crap. In the end, (Butt jokes...end...Get it?!) the whole battle for healthcare going on is another prime example of the hypocrisy that is alive and unwell at the heart of our government. The hypocrisy itself never actually changes. It just changes party during elections.
End of Rant.
