Dear Mr. McCain, McCconnell, Boehner, Abbot, Mr., Ms., Mrs. And Miss Every Other Republican in National,State Wide or Local Elected Office,

You're DAMN right I'm angry. As an American with a preexisting condition, I'm angry that it took this long to get anything done on this American Home Front Humanitarian Crisis. I'm angry that you all think I don't count, which you clearly do since you think banning insurance companies from denying coverage to those of us with preexisting conditions is a bad idea. I'm angry that because of concessions to your side insurance companies can continue to deny coverage for adults with preexisting conditions like myself until 2014 rather than there being a blanket ban on the practice immediately. I'm angry that the final plan includes no alternatives/competition to private insurance to ensure that they don't go back to their old ricks. I'm angry that you think more of scoring political points against a Democratic and democratically elected President than you do about ensuring that all Americans get a fair and equal shake, and this despite numerous concessions to your side that make the new law, while a vast improvement over the old system, not as effective as it could be . I'm angry that all you can think about is GETTING the other side, rather than working to solve what has for many of us been a very real problem since turning twenty-five and thus no longer being eligible for coverage through our parents during which time our preexisting condition was not an issue but became an issue when we had to attempt to purchase insurance on our own and prevented us from doing so. I'm angry at your callus attitude towards and total indifference to the children and adults that die every day in this country of treatable conditions because they can't get insurance for preexisting condition or other reasons, or must sacrifice food and or shelter to pay medical bills out of pocket, which is of course also detrimental to health. I'm angry that you think a health care system that puts profits above people is okey and needs no change and are plotting various political and legal actions to seek to prevent those of us with preexisting conditions or other hindrances to decent, affordable medical care under the old system from reaping the benefits of the new system. I'm angry that you place THE LOVE OF MONEY at a igher value than relieving human suffering. I'm angry that you've forgotten that there are real human beings affected by and suffering and even dieing under the profits before people system. I'm angry that some of your supporters are threatening those in Congress who actually understand what compassion means and there is not public renounciaion of this from every single elected Republican in the entire country. You're damn right I'm angry, and I'm not the only one, and we too will be at the polls in November, and we too won't forget who forgot about us, and our numbers will increase as people see the benefits of this new system and realize the evils of the old system.

Sincerely,

Matthew Lucas Beckett, Writer
