They're not.

The military industrial complex will never allow the US bases and all the American military interventions overseas to be brought to a halt. After all, how and where will they earn their "profits" from  if that were to happen?

The US military doesn't protect anyone. It's nothing more than an empiric, genocidal cult. Shut down all US bases abroad, bring the troops home, slash funding into the military-industrial complex by 99%, abolish all taxation of individuals & tax corporations, only with no loopholes. There will be enough universal care to cover everyone 5 times over. We can use the leftover $$$ for higher education, housing & food for anyone who needs it.

The boy, Hunter, is hospitalized at present and needs another round of chemotherapy, which will cost $50,000 without insurance, leaving his parents at their wit’s end.

Concerned individuals may contact Texas Health and Human Services ombudsman on behalf of Hunter at http://www.hhsc.state.tx.us/about_hhsc/contact/contact.shtml

Boy with cancer loses coverage after Obamacare launch - Bureaucrats...

 

He is normal in every way, except this 7-year-old already plays guitar and  keyboards and has his heart set on learning to fiddle.

Something else sets Hunter apart.

He was born with a rare form of cancer and lost his health insurance just  after Obamacare went into effect.

Americans were told the health-care law was designed to help children just  like Hunter, born with a deadly pre-existing condition and little means to pay  for expensive treatments.

The Affordable Care Act was not supposed to take away the insurance these  most-vulnerable children already had and leave them utterly defenseless against  a life-threatening disease.

Answers are hard to come by, but it looks like that’s what the president’s  signature achievement has done in the small town of Gainesville, Texas.

‘Why would you cancel a kid?’

Ron and Krista Alford’s two children, Hunter and his sister, Makayla, were  both born with an extremely rare form of cancer called Plexiform Hishocyne  Neoplasm.

The parents said their children “have known nothing other than hospitals,  doctors, sickness and pain.”

Makayla is currently in remission, but Hunter is in the second fight of his  young life against cancer.

He is hospitalized and needs another round of chemotherapy, which will cost  $50,000 without insurance, leaving his parents at their wit’s end.

Concerned  individuals may contact Texas Health and Human Services ... and/or contribute  to the Heroes for Hunter fund.

Krista’s strong Midwestern spirit was immediately evident as she described  her family’s dilemma to WND, but so was the fear in her trembling voice, as she  carefully searched for the right words.

“Why would you cancel a kid?” she asked. “I really want to send Obama and all  of them pictures of my son. He has scars all over his head. He doesn’t want to  leave the house because he’s afraid people are going to make fun of him because  he’s bald.”

The insurance company initially told Krista that Hunter’s information was  lost while it was making changes required under the newly implemented  health-care law.

She hopes it is just one big bureaucratic blunder.
