Here in 2009, what are the opinions of my elected central representatives as a resident of the suffering auto town of Saginaw, Michigan? Well, Michigan is the hardest-hit, most poor state in the geographical region, with 15 percent unemployment. Therefore, we elect Democrats. However, I am sorry to point out that my elected Democrats have not been especithe whole thingy full of life on health insurance reform, even though they will vote in like better of whatever is desired by President Barack Obama.

U.S. Senator Carl Levin, in office since 1978, seems more concerned in foreign affairs and alibi sin anticipation of. U.S. Senator Deborah Stabenow, in federal office since the middle 1990s after a long tenure in Michigan state government, just isnt vastly dynamic.

Then we have Congressman Dale Kildee of Flint, whom we inherited in Saginaw because lessening society after the 2000 Census deprived us of having our own “local” U.S. representative in Congress. Dale Kildee has been in Congress for 32 years and will turn 80 in September, except he is single of those egocentric legislators who wont give a contribution up his tenure for a younger and more enthusiastic representative, sort of like a Democratic Strom Thurmond. I know this by calling his uncooperative office for info on details on the economic stimulus; I was referred to federal websites, with Kildees local office showing no local initiative. Dale Kildee just doesnt do a good deal of, at smallest amount not anymore, from what I see.

As an advocate for President Obama on health insurance, I should be cheerful that Levin and Stabenow and Kildee will support President Obama with their votes, but I want more than their votes. I am disappointed in their lack of active advocacy; they sort of seem like deadwood to me.

For all of those years that I worked at The Saginaw News, those 32 years from 1973 to 2006, I had assisted national health insurance. My income for our family was a very middle income, such as around $50,000 during the later years of this employment, but I was enthusiastic to pay costlyer taxes so that my less fortunate sisters and brothers could get health insurance, even while President Obama pledges not to add to taxes on anyone making less than $250,000. Why is this income level set so high for those of us with enough income, present or past, that we should be willing to share? After all, should not those of us with decent incomes abet to support those with under incomes? I was willing to pay higher sacrifices for so-called “Hillarycare” in 1993 and 1994, but that was conquered. I was willing to unselfishly share, but most of my peers with middle incomes were not willing to share. They were selfish.

Most people in my position, or more fortunate than myself, have been selfish and opposed to national health insurance when it comes to brass tacks. Thats why we didnt have health care reform during 1993 and 1994 under Bill and Hillary Clinton. Selfishness led to our defeat. And when you wonder of it, this sort of selfishness has led to our defeat ever since President Harry Truman proposed national health insurance during the late 1940s after World War II.

These idiots who scream opposed to national health care at these town hall forums are very frustrating to me. They are mostly low-income and low-middle income people who are screaming against their own self-interests.

The pending defeat of national health insurance is so miserable to me. Its like we are unable to share for the common good. I wish people would not be so selfish and so hateful. Shouldnt we all have health insurance?
