Dear Erick

Today I am ticked off at one of my favorite pundits, Erick Erickson said something uncaring today: that people who declare bankruptcy over medical bills are just doing it to remove their responsibility to pay it. I'd like to box his ears.

Let's cut to the chase: Conservatives are mad as hell because the current administration is constantly giving away things to people who don't work, who refuse to take responsibility for their own lives. They want government handouts. And we're sick of it. I frankly don't like Obamacare any more than any other Conservative. It forces me to buy something. I don't believe the government has a right to do that. But I also think Mr. Erickson needs a heart re-direct.

Sometimes life deals us some whammies that take away all of our ability to handle them. I am a Christian- my Father in Heaven always takes good care of me. I trust Him with my heart, my life, my future. I worked hard in law enforcement most of my adult life . But let me ask you, Mr. Erickson- what will you do the day you get very sick and are faced with a stack of medical bills that reaches the ceiling? You're probably very wealthy. You're very young. You probably have a "cadillac" insurance plan. Some of the rest of us unfortunately are not in that class. We're on fixed incomes. We get sick and we get stuck. We can't afford what you can afford.

You came off very uncaring today. I think you should repent, back the truck up, and really start caring about the people around you. Take your head out of the political rhetoric and remember that real people have real problems and sometimes they are out of our control. Not everyone is irresponsible leaky trailer trash. Stop generalizing. Get it right.
