Right Wing Media Pundits Scoff at Stories of America's Uninsured

To a large degree, Stejeb, the majority of the American public has short attention spans. They hear random information thrown out by the mainstream media, like the totally false idea of death panels being included in the health care reform bills.

Of course, no one talks about the monthly meetings/panels that meet at every insurance company that choose to deny coverage to millions of Americans each year. These monthly meetings are death panels to thousands of Americans.

Once some idea is implanted, mainly due to lack of time but, often do to reliance upon faulty information, the American public will go along with what has been heard most often and during this battle, as the Republicans and the Right Wing have loudly trumpeted all manner of untruths and nonsense, the President and the Democratic Party dropped the ball.

There seemed to have been some form of thought process and strategy, in addition to whatever other moves were implemented, that made the Obama administration decide that some of this idiotic stuff was so out in the far-out field of rational thought, most Americans would know it wasn't true but, I submit, they were wrong to believe that on any level, if that was ever the case.

The push back for refuting this stuff was too long in coming so now, here we are; the queen of the promotion of the theory of death panels, Sarah Palin, coming in second as a possible Republican candidate for president in 2012 at the CPAC conservative meeting, where at the same conference, there was a call for the return of the use of literacy tests for voting by Tom Tancredo, which were banned almost 45 years ago, because Barack Hussein Obama was elected president AND findings in a poll that indicate 53% of Republicans think Sarah Palin can do a better job as president than President Obama.

What a world, what a world!

Stejeb, there are a phenomenal amount of stories hardly ever heard if one extrapolates the odds of hearing of the hardships of one or more individuals who each in turn have been told, first hand accounts, of those having difficulty of receiving care in the health care system here in America.

I mentioned only a few of which I am aware in my narrative, This Shouldn't Happen in America, including the story of one of my dearest friends, a self employed craftsperson, physically removed from his local hospital for not having insurance.

He was thrown out of the hospital AFTER he was diagnosed with a life threatening condition that required heart surgery.

At the heart of all of this is the conservative's and Right Wing's dedication to doing nothing to reform health care in this country.

Whenever their party is in power, Republicans never seem to be able to make health care reform a pressing priority for more than a few items.

When the Democrats are in power, the conservative's and Right Wing Republicans block progess of any sort, bringing up tort reform over and over and EVEN now, with various tort reforms open for discussion or included, they can't support it.

During this current cycle of governance, after spending the entire time since President Obama and the Democratic Congress took control of the government railing that 'Obama is a socialist! He's gonna kill Grandma! He's not a real American! He wants to destroy America!', with these statements coming from elected Republican officials, the Republican Party has backed itself into a corner.

They either have to admit they were wrong to say those things, which in all probability they will NEVER do or, they must stick to the current script from which they're reading and that seems to be the ongoing game plan.
