Waters in Gardena Town Hall Meeting

Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-Westchester) hosted at a town hall meeting at St. John Church in El Camino Village on September 14.

　

She wrongly blamed the conservatives in Congress for holding the budget hostage, for delaying Obamacare, and for the savage sequester cuts. Conservatives are trying to save this country by staving off insurmountable debt.

Next, Experts from the health care industry, lobbyists for small business, and a nurse from Cedar Sinai Medical Center to explaion the Affordable Care Act. The nurse from Cedar Sinai misrepresented the length of the bill, claiming that there was gold in the nine hundred pages. Waters' brochures affirmed that the legislation was 2,500 pages. There were discussion of closing "the donut hole" in Medicare", followed by a slide with another "donut hole".

Then came the mike for public discussion. The first speaker, from Encino, commented that the death panels were not in Obamacare, but in the stimulus. The next speaker, a classified employee from LA Unified, lamented his part-time status because of Obamacare, then questioned why illegal aliens would get health care but not have to buy insurance, while American citizens were forced into purchasing health insurance. Then John Wood of Inglewood discussed the premium hikes of Obamacare. Wood is the Republican candidate running against Maxine Waters in 2014. "We've been watching you!" Waters playfully admitted, then dismissed him after his lengthy question.

Then it was my turn.

I complimented Congresswoman Waters for seeking to end the War on Drugs.

Then I catalogued the rise in premiums reported in the LA Times and in news affiliates across the country. I mentioned insurance companies leaving the Medicare exchanges. "That's not a shopping mall. That's a monopoly!" I talked about a retired teacher in Torrance who had four doctors because each one retired over Obamacare.

Then I shouted, mimicking her tirade during a 2011 town hall meeting in Inglewood:

"You gotta be tough for this game, and I'm not afraid of anybody. And I think that Obamacare should go straight to hell!"

Every American should shout at their Congressman: Obamcare should go straight to hell!

I am glad for an open forum to share my views (Congressman Henry Waxman shut me down in an open forum, as well as resident in Venice), but Congresswoman Waters cannot wade through all the paperwork, stats, and conflicting information to convince anyone that Obamacare is anything more than "a train wreck."
