This found poem, Healthcare, touches on the current attempt to once again give tax cuts to those poor ailing billionaires at the expense of tyhe elderly. I hope all those who think they're safe in their conservative districts get a big prostate check in the mid-term elections.

Comment from Irish Rain
It just gets worse and worse. When Obama care was passed, my husbands factory dropped our BlueCross/Bluesheild...exchanged it for a far inferior insurance. Now, I've had 2 heart attacks...I'm covered by my husbands insurance until he retires....4 more years...then ...nothing??? I am determined to become a burden on society. (smile) Great entry Miss Portia, blessings...

Sweet Judy,
I am so sorry to hear the problems our leaders caused and are still causing. Obama care did not affect me as I was protected because I am on disability through Medicare and ChampVa... To be honest who can we trust to tell the truth about what will occur until after the bill is passed. I have heard some many different things. Thanks sweetie for your very kind review. Blessings...Portia

Well, we still have insurance, but a lesser quality that costs twice as much. I just refuse to get sick, ha ha. I'm sure it will all work out. It always does! Blessings to you!!!

So true! I like how you took the articles you read and what's been weighing heavily on all our minds especially those of us for whom healthcare costs dictate our lives. Great job on using these "found" words to sew together a good message.

Time will tell. Right now the electorate is very fickle. I don't think people know what they want. They just want something different. I hope we don't change just for the sake of change.

Thanks so much for your review and comments. This cannot be a rush through solution for the sake of the President. I pray the Senate will take its time and find a reasonable solution to this healthcare issue that will benefit all the people. Blessings....Portia

Pharp,
It is obvious by your post that you are satisfied with the news of the recent vote on Capitol Hill. It's always a scary thing to hear what's going on up there. haha! Thanks for sharing!

Robyn,
Sweetie, you are clearly wrong. I imagine one can read this "found poem" and take its meaning differently. In the midterm election many politicians will probably be finding a new job, because of how they are only thinking of themselves and not really trying to find a solution for healthcare for the people. A rush through solution for the President.
I believe only the Trump supporters are satisfied. In the midterm, if I feel my representative in the State in which I live didn't vote for the good of the people, he will not be getting my vote again. The recent vote on Capitol Hill and the celebration was sickening.
I pray that the Senate will take their time and work out a solution that will work for all the people, if not our fate will be sealed. Robyn, thanks do much for your review and I totally agree with you it is indeed a scary thing to hear what is going on up there. Blessings and have a wonderful day.

Robyn,
For a minute, I thought I needed to make some changes to make it clear. (smile)
Comment from Mustang Patty
thank you for sharing your entry in the Found contest. Wouldn't it be lovely to 'find' a solution to the healthcare discussion? I fear for the millions who will lose their healthcare, and I don't see any provision for those that can't afford their care - the next week should be very interesting.

Lately, I have resigned not to keep up with much politics. There is no upside to the conversations, and it gets very rotten fast. Yes, the republicans have a chance to do something. Now, what? I don't know, and they probably don't either. They, the people in Washington, are living for themselves, and I don't see any interest in wasting my time with their process; and that stuff that's in the news as well.

Thanks so much my friend for such an outstanding review. I agree with you totally, our leaders are living for themselves. Whatever decisions are made on Healthcare will not affect them. Again, I appreciate your review and the six star rating. Blessings and have a wonderful day. Portia
