BLAST FRON THE PAST: THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT. A "GOOD" FOR ALL OF US.

 

Creating a National Health Care Plan that Benefits all Americans, by Making Medical Insurance Affordable and Accessible, is a MORAL DECISION THAT HAS BEEN MADE BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. IT IS THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A PROGRAM THAT IS DESIGNED TO:

MAKE HEALTH INSURANCE AFFORDABLE FOR ALL AMERICANS. THIS IS DONE BY PROVIDING SUBSIDIES THAT ALLEVIATE THE FINANCIAL HARDSHIP OFTEN ASSOCIATED WITH OBTAINING DECENT/MINIMAL COVERAGE.

IT IS THE JUDGMENT THAT GOVERNMENT HAS A RESPONSIBILITY TO THE CITIZENS OF THE U.S., TO AID THEM IN GETTING BASIC MEDICAL COVERAGE.  To Some it will be an Immediate Benefit, to Others a Safety Net Against Loss of Employment and a Reduction in Financial Status.  Many Americans may Never Need to Use it, but it REMAINS A SAFEGUARD TO PROTECT THE HEALTH AND WELL- BEING OF ALL.

BASICALLY IT IS A MORAL "GOOD" THAT TRANSCENDS THE ECONOMIC POSITIVES OR NEGATIVES THAT MAY ISSUE FROM THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THIS PLAN.  ALLOWING THIS LAW TO BECOME  AN ISSUE THAT WOULD BE LEFT TO THE WHIMS OF THE MAJORITY,  DEFEATS THE REASONING THAT LED TO ITS' CREATION.  IT DOES NOT CEASE BEING A "GOOD" or "ETHICALLY" DESIRABLE PROGRAM JUST BECAUSE NEW FACES INHABIT THE HALLS OF CONGRESS, OR THAT THE WHITE HOUSE HAS A NEW RESIDENT EVERY 4-8 YEARS.

Of course there are Economic Considerations that must be addressed, but these can be considered, and adjustments made, without scrapping the entire program. We do not shut down other Government Programs because they are imperfect or flawed, we look for new ways to make them better and more efficient. The NEEDS THAT LED TO THEIR CREATION ARE STILL THERE, AND ENDING THEM ONLY BREEDS ANIMOSITY AND FEAR.

Given Time, there are PRACTICAL CONSIDERATIONS THAT CAN LEAD TO ECONOMIC BENEFITS FOR THE NATIONAL ECONOMY, THAT WILL BE A PRODUCT OF THIS NEW LAW. However, that is AN ANALYSIS THAT CANNOT BE DONE AT THE INITIAL STAGES OF IMPLEMENTING THE SYSTEM.

FOR NOW, IT IS SIMPLY THE "RIGHT" THING TO DO.

ACLU- Our strategy to protect people's rights .

 David –

I want to personally thank you for joining our team. I also want to share with you our ongoing, relentless plan to defend the civil rights and liberties of all people – with the help of millions of supporters...

Right now, our movement is fully engaging the mechanisms of our democracy, no matter how hard the powers-that-be try to dismantle them. We're organizing in our communities, we're suing in courts, we're placing enormous pressure on Congress and this administration, and we're building an electorate that will hold anyone running for office accountable to us – the people.

Because of supporters like you, the ACLU is better positioned than ever to block any threats to our rights. And that especially includes our most fundamental right to vote.

Politicians across the country are shamelessly attempting to block people's access to the ballot so they can push forward their own agenda at the polls. Through racially motivated gerrymandering, blatant voter suppression, and much more these anti-democratic tactics are impacting people of color, people with disabilities, and low-income communities the most. But that's why we're fighting back in the courts, at state legislatures, and on Capitol Hill to protect your rights everywhere – and to make voting accessible for all of us.

Together, on voting rights and all of our civil liberties, we will continue to challenge unconstitutional policies. We will keep advocating and delivering hundreds of thousands of calls and messages to Congress. And if our elected officials still have the gall to ignore the will of the people, we can and will make our elections a referendum on where the country is headed.

David, this is all possible because of committed ACLU supporters like you. I can't wait to see what we accomplish together. Stay tuned for more.

Thanks again for joining us,

Anthony D. Romero 

Executive Director, ACLU
