fanMAIL: ObamaCare is better than nothing
Occasionally I publish emails from readers who offer opposing views to the ones I express here on Sandrarose.com about U.S. President Barack Obama and his policies. I publish these emails in the interest of fairness, not because I am in agreement with the opinions of the email author. So don’t get it twisted.
Loyal reader Roz B. writes:
I respect your work as a blogger, but I have to ask: have you personally researched the Healthcare law, and all that it entails? It is obvious that you aren’t a “fan” of President Obama, and even his most ardent supporters cannot co-sign everything he does, but this latest Healthcare issue does not mean that Obama doesn’t care about people.
Look – whether we like it, one way or another, we are going to end up paying for somebody else’s healthcare. The crux of the law is to give people some options other than the local emergency room to get care by a doctor instead of letting health issues just ferment. Is it perfect? Of course not! But the fact there are compromises that had to be made shows there are lots of improvements needed on both sides of the aisle. If you look closer, there is no simplistic, one-horse solution. Until Americans stop killing themselves with their addictions, poor eating habits, and lack of exercise and self-care, the price is high all-around.
Big insurance companies do not support the healthcare law, and yet folks earning low wages also don’t: they are fearing death panels and having to deal with socialized medicine, items NOT in the healthcare law. A health insurance company makes its money off of premiums paid in, but denial of coverage going out. This law is trying in some way to hold these companies accountable and making an affordable option that you can have access to, whether you want it or not.
I have only gotten through about 400 pages of the new law, but from what I see, something to start with is better than nothing to begin with, right? Improvements can happen over time, but right now, there are bigger fish to fry. And I wouldn’t be so skeptical of Republican opposition to the law if one of their own didn’t have one almost exactly like it in his state – talking about Mitt Romney.
BTW – I do read your blog every day. Keep it up – we need voices out there!

Why is somebody named “Raz B.” writing you letters? WTF?
*sigh*
It says “Roz B.”
I need a nap. Nevermind my 1st comment…
LOL Stillsassy. Thumbs up Roz B.
And Roz makes GREAT points. Most people talking sh*t about Obamacare haven’t read it in its entirety, and many folks are judt going off of hearsay and cannot even give a brief synopsis of what it entails…..
@SASSY
You know too many of “us” automatically believe what “they” say.

@ SASO nope Charlotte,
@ Alex funny you should say that last year I was walking to get something out my car and I saw a gang of geese congregating around the lot and noticed I was coming, I suppose that there was a nest around and they thought I was going to do something to the eggs so I notice 4 geese coming at me first they started running then them 8 foot wings started flapping I took my Arse right back in the building, they was ready to jump ya boy.
@ Harlem, you must have not been down south too much have you? These Ducks as ratchet if not worse than them seagulls
I’ve seen these Geese whoop a few peoples asses here at my job….Got a ninja scared as shyt! I would not walk out the mall one day cause they were by the exit where my car was. I committed to living in that mall FOREVER that day…

Try to punk you at the park chasing you around when you try to give them bread but arent giving it fast enough for them then you drop the bag and try to walk off but they chase you to your car were you find that you have dropped you keys on the way and you have to run back and get them before the others (bird gangland) come and peck and poop on you
BUT HELL to them selling chittlins

BRUH I lived down south so I am aware the ducks is def gangsta but when they start taking a bag of cheese doodles out of your hand and peck you in the head then holla at me because that is more traumatic but I had geese experience to but not like that damn gang of seagulls
candibfly says:
@ bruhman man say fvck whatever was in the car and running back into the bldg whilst geese charge him
__________________________________
Damn right whatever was in that car wasnt that important I would have had to go to the hospital to get checked out for rabies or something had they got at me
Security came over the intercom one day and was like No one go on the side of the building until further notice. The geese just attacked a group of walkers.
See at least with them damn geese you can see them but them seagulls are like snipers they come out of nowhere and before you even look up its a gang of them
I dont flucks with them at all

@AL
they don’t play about they bread 
i got chase once and i had lil mama in my arms i just ran and threw the bread bag in the air 
Baby came home crying cause her dad wouldn’t let her feed the birds
He said he wouldn’t let her cause last time a lil yt boy almost got messed UP he ran out of food and the birds started chasing!
laker that reminds me of kevin hart when he said he thought one of the animals go out in the zoo and he threw his baby and started running
@ALboy
@Bruh
Its a running track at that park and they will stand in the middle of the track and will not move You have to runn all off the side. I slow down just in case I have to fight one of them
Someone said you’re supposed to spread your arms like wings and fan them quickly to appear like a larger bird..But what happens when you get the one that likes a challenge!??! Fuvk that!!!!
ALBoy says:
@ Bruh that’s how it is at a park here IM out there trying to be nice throwing bread (spoiled of course) and they jumped me it was cool at first cause the small ones were eating then a couple big ones came

The dayum VISUAL of someone flapping or having a flap-off is tooooooo much of a burden today @Phro…..
Hello All. Folks, look around you, especially if you live in DC. People, especially black women, are grossly overweight, out of breathe and out of healthcare. Like most of his decisions, President Obama is looking to the future. Hospital/medical care has skyrocketed over the past 10 yrs, just like er thang else: food, gas, child care, education, hell, the basics. My plan? When I retire, I’m moving to the Blue Ridge Mountains of VA, buying me a small cabin with a wood-stove, 2 German Shepards and a double-barrel shotgun by the door, plus my husband to keep me safe and warm. Peace.

My homegirl was on her way to work a few years ago. She works out here by RDU (our airport). This bish turns off the exit (aptly titled..Airport Blvd.) and BAM a dayum dead bird lands on her hood. She said it sounded like thunder. It had obviously gotten hit by a plane but that heffa said it scared the daylights out of her…and she was on the phone with her momma at the time. So she screaming…her momma screaming…she in traffic..swerving and shat. Said she bypassed her job that day and went STRAIT to the carwash. I had tears in my eyes when she was telling me.

***IN MY LUDA VOICE*** MY BISH BAD!
only thing i oppose to is the mandate for each individual to have healthcare or be penalized..but i believe that is unconstitutional and will be ruled out!
@Al Boy
See ya in the emergency room.
@ Al Boy
That’s where people who aren’t taking this issue seriously are gonna have to go for healthcare if this is repealed.
We need a public option. In my opinion employer based health care is a form of slavery. I know a lot of people working jobs they hate and has a spouse that makes plenty of money to support the family but they hold onto the job for the health insurance. The same reason keeps a lot of people from starting businesses etc… And people holding onto jobs they don’t want for insurance keeps out somebody who really needs a job.
