Living With An Illness and the Hazard of Obamacare
For the past three years, Michelle Moore has been on a waiting list for a kidney transplant. She undergoes dialysis on a regular basis, just to stay alive in the interim. Waking up, she often wonders how she’ll feel that day. Some days, she doesn’t feel as well as she’d like. But she keeps on going, living her life, and waiting patiently.

But her patience is being tested by Obamacare. She told me:
I have the option of hopefully not dying. Think about the people who are in the middle of cancer treatment or those who need a heart transplant. What about them? Obamacare adds onto the stress they’re already having.
It’s frustrating and terrifying enough having an illness like Michelle’s. Many Americans can identify with her, while some are blessed with near perfect health. But illness is part of the human existence. Accordingly, quality health care is important to every American.
Every one of us can agree that health care is important, but we greatly diverge on the question of how best to achieve that.
Many liberals think a government takeover of health care is the best solution – sadly, that’s why we’re living with Obamacare. Conservatives know there are better solutions to health care reform, and Michelle knows firsthand why it matters.
Michelle expressed a great degree of dissatisfaction with Washington – with both political parties. Washington politicians and bureaucrats have proven themselves woefully inadequate to fulfill their most fundamental constitutional duties, evinced by the nearly $17 trillion debt, so one has to wonder why we should trust them to run health care.
