Your View On These Facts From Aurtur Davis' District Likely Determine Your View Of The Health Care Bill

Artur Davis And the Congressional Black Caucus Split On The Health Care Bill

Here are the key paragraphs:

Alabama's Davis represents the only majority black congressional district in Alabama. The 7th District, which includes parts of Birmingham and west Alabama, also is one of the poorest in the country.

Davis said he has more constituents living on Medicare and Medicaid than private health insurance, and the Senate bill does not ensure the long-term solvency of Medicare or make the Medicaid funding formula more fair to Alabama. He also argues that it should -- but won't -- lower premium costs.

Those who see "poor people" in the district who are struggling and who would benefit if the government policies stepped in and provide even more of them with a "national premium pool" thus making their burden easier - will be inclined to support this legislation.

Those (like me) who see that while there is an abundance of NEED in this district but also a great many number of equal human beings who are not being engaged to provide the services that their own community needs - thus I must question the prevailing leadership as to why there is such dependency upon resources that stream from the outside of their borders - the goal being to lift them up to the national standard that has been identified.


I have made my viewpoint known.
My goal now is to get those who are inclined to claim that results that remain entrenched are due to some discriminatory intent what must be remedied by more government intervention are now merely running a circular reference.

Having exhausted the most clear cut and onerous sanctions that they faced because of their skin color in the nation, today's round of actions are increasingly "economic ideological". The notion that a person was "lynched" because of his race overpowers the claim that an otherwise equal human being with full voting rights, having used them to fully populate the institutions that surround him - still suffers from a negative force that brutalizes him as did the whip and hangman's noose.

Simply put - our community lacks the institutions by which the very policies that have us on the course of "social entitlement" on TRIAL.

As further proof that the so called "Civil Rights Movement" has now become a purely "political and ideological economic enterprise" one just need to look at how the recent insurance reform legislation was cast as a "victory for Obama and the Democrats". These are the very same machine elements that already run Artur Davis' district and many like it around the nation.

They did not bring an increase in the productivity of the human resources in these districts with the signing of this legislation. They merely increased the level of abstraction between the product of one's work and/or acumen to address these needs in his community from the receipt of these services that are needed by "the least of these".
