Health care reform ‘just a game’ to GOP

You have to be blind not to know the Republicans are trying to kill Obamacare. They say they have a better plan, but what is it?

They already have closed clinics that were helping the mentally impaired. They forced closure of The Abbe Center, which had cared for many patients for many years. They had to find new facilities to care for them or send them home to families that can't care for them. Where I work, we have taken in some, and it's sad to think we really don't have the resources to care for them as we should.

This is the first time we have a chance to enroll in health care plans we can

afford. Don't be fooled by the tricks the Republicans are playing. It's just a game to them. They couldn't care less about the poor and middle class. They have cut and plan to cut many more helpful plans that help these people.

Don't panic. You have until March to sign up. The websites are being fixed. Just remember, it's over if they win. Obamacare is for all who work for a living and for those who are less fortunate. Don't let Ted Cruz and his minority lead you astray. He's only for the rich and famous.
