Health-care and the travesty of it all.  The U.S. has an obligation, based on a 1787 agreement between tribes and the government, to provide American Indians with free health and medical care on reservations. Once again promises are not kept.  How is it that as a nation we continue to ignore the needs and most especially the medical and health care needs for these citizens. Over and over again they are neglected and the U.S. government breaks the agreements. It is not just this administration or congress but has been going on since the establishment of the U.S. government. This just not ought to be. The U.S. sends medical, financial, material and bodily assistance to nations around the world but neglect our own citizens that we promised to care for.  

More medical assistance is given to criminals and illegal aliens than  to those that were given a promise  About one-third more is spent per capita on health care for felons in federal prison, according to 2005 data from the health service and even more than that is spent on illegal aliens. These illegal aliens are not entitled to any assistance of any kind. Yet, we as a nation cater to the needs of criminals than to the ones a promise was given. Yes, I include illegal aliens as criminals as they are entering the country illegally. Just in case you don’t understand the term ‘illegal’ means against the law or unlawful. So yes,  all illegal aliens are criminals and should be treated as such.

I would like to share with you an article written by Anne Wortham an admired and highly respected Professor of Sociology at ISU and her political views .  A poignant statement and letter issued by Anne on the issue of  political views on the election solely based on color or nationality not on policy, qualifications,  and ideals and most importantly the constitution.

Anne Wortham’s  assessment of the  election is something definitely to be considered.  I for one  just wonder if in her assessment that she will be referred to as a racist, or called a turn-coat, or  maybe an  Uncle Tom because she did not vote for the black-man. I know there are other prominent black people that did not vote for Obama and they were called names and condemned because they did no go with the flow and vote for the black man just because he is black. But guess what?  It seems that everyone has forgot the fact that he is half white.
