WEN WE FAILEDTO CARE FOR "THE LEAST OF THESE"

WHEN WE DID NOT CARE FOR “THE LEAST OF THESE”. . . BY MATTHEW LUCAS BECKETT “And with that, Obamacare is gone,,” declared President Romney as he signed The Repeal of Government Overreach and Wasteful Spending Bill into law. Jake groaned. “Now I'll never get well,” he said, watching the event on TV. from his Hospital Bed. “With my list of preexisting conditions, Kindleton INC. and Blue Rule will resend my coverage within the hour, and then I'll have nothing, since we can not afford The Risk Pool but are not poor enough for Medicaid.” His wife Maria nodded. “I'm afraid so, Jake. They've been hinting since the election.” Sure enough, twenty minutes later a hospital administrator came in and told them that they had twenty minutes to clear out of the hospital. As they were being escorted out of the hospital, Jake still in his hospital bed, for the cancer had taken his legs,and the hospital had no choice but to let them keep that, since otherwise he could not even have left the hospital, they ran into a minister, actually nearly crashing into the robed woman. “Where are you taking this man?” she asked. “He is obviously very sick. He should be under care.” “We're throwing him and his wife out of the hospital,” one of the orderlies said. What?” cried the woman. “In his state of health?” “He has no insurance, now that Obamacare is no more,” another explained. “So the hospital administration won't let him stay.” The woman looked beyond outraged, but after a moment she seemed to realize there was nothing she could do and moved on. When Jake and Maria got home, they began to plan his funeral, for they knew it was now only a matter of time. Meanwhile, at the hospital, indigent and recently uninsured people were being turned out in droves. Many doctors pleaded for their patients, some saying that without proper care they would be dead in a week, but Health Insurance Companies had insisted that all of those dropped from their rolls be turned out immediately, and the hospital didn't want to go up against an industry that now had friends to spare both on Capital Hill and in The White House. Last of all to be thrown out was a very ragged and filthy looking young man, in a back room, with soars and worse all over his body. The doctor who had treated him when he came in the previous evening accompanied him to the door. “I cannot repay you for your kindness,” the young man said. “Without a cent to my name and as sick as I am, many would have wanted nothing to do with me.” “Anyone who thinks like that is unfit to be a doctor,” the doctor replied. “I'm really sorry about this. . .” he made a vague gesture towards what was happening all around. “If it were up to me. . .” he trailed off, for he knew not what to say. “Good luck, such as you might find. . .what's your name?” “Joshua,”replied the young man. But as he turned to face his doctor once more in thanks, and then turned and walked away, the doctor saw through all the layers of filth and sickness, and for a moment saw the young man as he truly was, not as society had made him. A chill beyond terror ran up the doctor's spine, for in that moment he realized who the hospital had really failed to care for when sick because of what the insurance companies had ordered, and then, as his knees buckled and he grabbed the door frame for support, the chill ran back down his spine.

THE TRUTH ABOUT THOSE WHO OPPOSE JUSTICECARE

If I had a Brain, or I had a Conscience, or I had a Heart, or I had a Soul, I wouldn't say that, putting people above money, in Health Care, was a bad idea! If I had a Brain, or I had a Conscience, or I had a Heart, or I had a Soul, I wouldn't say or even think that excluding people for preexisting Health Conditions, should not be banned, by Law! In short,, If I had a Brain, or I had a Conscience, or I had a Heart, or I had a Soul, I wouldn't oppose, one comma of The Patient, Protection and Affordable Care Act, for any reason whatsoever, PERIOD! But I don't have a Brain, and I don't have a Conscience, and I don't have a Heart, and I don't have a Soul, Because I had to completely Extract, and COMPLETELY DESTROY all Four, before they'd let me sign the paper, to Register as a Republican.
