DIE, WE ARE BEING TOLD. YOU ARE WORTHLESS, WE ARE TOLD!

     Well, they went ahead and did it. The bill that Republicans who voted for, the bill that will within a few years cut off 24 million people or more, the bill that the Congressmen have voted to make themselves exempt from being caught in it, they and their aides, the bill which has every aspect of the health world against it - doctors, hospitals, drug companies, professional organizations and health insurers - but the citizens of America are being told that if you will not be able to afford the higher premiums, the higher deductibles, if you have a pre existing condition and thus will either be uninsurable or unable to pay those extremely high premiums and deductible you will be hit with - well, you are deemed worthy of dying. Or rather, not being worthy of being saved.
     We have now entered a world where the wealthy will not only just get tax breaks or permission to pollute the environment any which way they want, but a world where states can take a waiver and refuse coverage for whatever they want, so HIV sufferers can be denied medication and maternity care? Forget that? Work for a church or religious organization - well, there goes your reproductive rights. Had any previous symptoms like, oh, a toe hurting you, well, cross off podiatric care or orthopedic care there and that goes for any prior condition even if it makes no sense. Have diabetes, MS, in fact, any chronic condition, well, move to a state which allows assisted suicide for it will be easier to do that than live in agony. Cancer ridden? Well, either hope you get it after 65 and thus Medicare kicks in or just go ahead and write yourself off for no one can pay that bill - only, perhaps the 1% to 2% out there but then again, we middle and lower income classes have been deemed unworthy of being saved. So talk of death panels? You bet.
     And think it is not upon us as yet? Well it already has been prior to ACA, when people were denied coverage. And golly gee, why here it is again. And by the way, just a note to those of you who have allergies too severe to be treated with benadryl. There are no epi-pens to be had anywhere. The entire CVS drug system is out of them and how do I know this? I tried to get my prescription filled as I am deathly allergic to insect stings and bites and have been there before and it is not pleasant at all.
     The Republican Congressmen went off to the Rose Garden to visit Trump and celebrate in the Rose Garden. Celebrate what? The coming deaths of so many? Their own survival as they themselves made sure to be exempt? The fact that they now have "proved" they can govern and can pass something? The fact that they have pleased a crazy man, a lunatic with weird and strange behavior? And now they own this healthcare, this healthcare that will be literally the death of so many. But how many will be dead before 2018 and the new elections?
     That is, unless the Senate pulls their nuts out of the fire and that is what many are hoping. “This bill is highly imperfect, imperfect, okay? There’s no doubt about that,” Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart said after supporting the legislation. “Is this bill good? No, I don’t like it,” Diaz-Balart said. But he suggested that voting for the bill would allow him to be part of future negotiations: “So my decision was, how do I stay involved?” This, from a Republican representing a district in Florida!! But no, he is not for this bill  or so he says -and these Congressmen who voted for it are representing only themselves and what they appear to believe will show they can indeed pass a law, murderous and harmful as it is. This bill, if allowed into action will destroy people, will destroy hospitals who will go broke, will destroy America.
     Every day in every way this man Trump is destroying the America that was. Every Executive order, the very same for which he castigated Obama for writing and who has far surpassed his precedent's use of it in many ways, particularly in the harm it will cause. This man is dangerous to us all and to our country, our beloved country which is bleeding, desperately. 
     And now these weak Congressmen who could care less about its impact on their constituents and on the insurers who will now hold back, on the drug companies who will hold off on production for who will be able to pay for these drugs. These wimps are depending upon the Senate to stop this in its tracks, to tie it up in negotiations that will never be fruitful if that is the word. These cowards have not the balls to stand up for the right and those of the supposed and misnamed Freedom Caucus should be given the freedom in 2018 to become civilians again, not lawmakers, and let themselves be subject to all the harm they will have caused. Or just recall and impeach and what a good idea to do that with Trump!!
     So take your choice. And what we need to do now is protest in massive waves and amounts. Show our anger to those who voted for it - like Mast. He walks around with his shorts to show his legs, well, while we thank him for his sacrifices, if a civilian has an accident with similar results that person could not, would not, be able to get the same help for his coverage would be totally inadequate so the statement in our own Declaration, the very first sentence - 'All men are created equal" will have proven false. Demonstrate - and here is a place to go today and then bombard the offices of your Reps to show your anger and to the Senators, especially Rubio who seems to have no lasting backbone. Do something!!!
     Details for today's protest in our area.
  : PROTEST AT MAST NPB OFFICE 3-5 PM on 5-5

420 US 1, NPB - in Village Square Plaza (corner of Anchorage and US 1)

We will protest on the sidewalk adjacent to the street.

This is a peaceful protest. We are angry but not violent.

There is parking in the plaza, however, we may get kicked out if the property owner doesn't want us to park there. Park in the plaza at your own risk.

You can also park in the Publix plaza at the SW corner of Northlake and US 1 and walk over to the Village Square Plaza.  Do NOT park in Frigate's lot - you will likely get towed.

I will be there at 3 pm.  We need people to maintain order and observe the protest.

I will try to get the media there, if I can.

We need to let Mast know that his vote today is not the end - it is only the beginning.

May G-d bless us all for we certainly need His blessing.
