100% True


  Most of the world....at least 2 billion of us....are on Facebook. While they have taken a lot of flack recently about "fake news" I saw an article the other day that had a statement so perfect I don't care if it's fake or real. And it doesn't even matter.

  The article was, allegedly, from a mother who posted her son's itemized hospital bill from his most recent heart surgery. I'm not sure what exactly is wrong with his heart but he has had several surgeries and a few more are in his future. The total cost was huge. Hundreds of thousands of dollars.

  Also, she stated they have many specialist visits, prescription drug costs, regular doctor visits and home care. Almost all are covered by their health insurance. But if this new health care bill passes, "Trumpcare", they will lose coverage.

  This statement made me stop in my tracks....the Republican Party is pro-life til the child is born!! Think about that. It is perfection. And 100% true.  Whether you believe the article or not. 

  As a political party, they preach continually about the rights of the fetus. How abortion is murder. How they must fight to protect the health and safety of the unborn. But if that child is born sick...oh well it doesn't have a "right" to healthcare. And I use the word "right" because that's the word the party uses as a reason not to have universal healthcare. 

  Australia, Austria, Bahrain, Belguim, Brunei, Canada, Cypres, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Iceland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kuwait, Luxemburg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Slovenia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom. ALL these countries have universal healthcare. ALL of them.

  If the Republicans don't think this is a good idea they should ask the First Lady's extended family. After all, Slovenia has had it for years.
