It’s Time to Put Progress Ahead of Politics
Insuring the uninsured is the right thing to do from a moral standpoint. In my law practice, I’ve seen families destroyed by crushing financial costs. Many of our citizens are one health event away from bankruptcy or worse. But it’s also the right thing to do financially. The uninsured create a financial burden on our health care system that the rest of us pay for. Getting more of our citizens insured is both the right thing and the smart thing for Kansas City.
No one is saying that the Affordable Care Act is perfect, but it’s a critical step forward. We have time to improve it and I’m confident that, in time, it will make a significant, positive difference.
Right now, however, it’s time to work together and focus on the more immediate need: the March 31 deadline for open enrollment. If you are uninsured or know someone that is, there are many ways to get involved in the new health insurance marketplace.

That should seal the deal for those who think he is a hidden Republican.
ReplyDeleteWhether he's a Republican or Democrat makes a whole lot less difference than whether or not he pays any attention to what's going on in the city he's supposed to be mayor of.
ReplyDeleteViolence, crumbling streets, water leaks, an open money faucet, and all the rest.
And his attention is on streetcars, All Star Games, new downtown hotels, political conventions, and now health insurance.
Maybe he could get one of his greatly=expanded staff to read him his job description.
Those niggers all have to stick together
ReplyDeleteWho is that? I think he was in the ape pen at the zoo. Does he work for the zoo?
ReplyDeleteQuestion: Has he signed up yet?
ReplyDeletehell no 7:30 he wants to go to congress and get health care for life.
ReplyDeletesly must not be that bright. That Obamacareanchor will hold back Democrats in 2014 and give the Republicans the first shot they've had to run things for 14 years
ReplyDelete6:16, obamacare is a joke. It is a republican plan that the democrats co-opted. It's nothing but a giveaway to private insurers. This will be the biggest wealth transfer is human history. Seriously. From poor and middle class to the rich insurers.
ReplyDeleteIf Sly was advocating for single payer, then I'd say you're right. As it stands, he's just shilling for business.
just like sly King Obama thinks it is OK to rule by Fiat
ReplyDeleteSly blowing smoke again. He does realize public places and city properties are smoke free doesn't he?
ReplyDeleteSorry have to pay for the toy train hostage racket. If there is any money left over maybe the medical insurance hostage racket could be in my budget.
ReplyDeleteObamacare website was successfully hacked recently in 4 minutes, and though only a demonstration, they had access to some 70,000 records of personal info.
ReplyDeleteRetiring Congressman said earlier this week, that Obamacare was a failure and wouldn't work. Democrat admitted it, only because he's retiring.
The mayor further communicated that everyone signing up for obamacare would be given a train ride to hell on the new trolley
ReplyDeleteFuck Obamacare!! I ain't playin' and they can't make me play. Again, just fuck Obamacare.
