"TrumpCare" = "Don't Care"

From our current events editor Lemuel Stuart III:

What do Stepehn Colbert, Emily Dickinson, and "TrumpCare" have in common?  The answer:

Yep, the GOP is attempting to  "repeal and replace" the Affordable Care Act, and their laughable (and sad) first attempts at "coverage" will hurt millions of those who voted for Trump and didn't realize that "Obamare" and the ACA were the same thing -- even though Trump promised "insurance for everybody" (by the way, Trump has now changed that empty promise to "everyone will have access to healthcare").

This rush to repeal and ravage healthcare for those who really need it (while at the same time lining the pockets of the wealthy) calls to mind Emmett Lee Dickinson's now-classic poem "As they do Healthcare over" (below on the left). Dickinson's poem inspired third cousin Emily to pen her poem "As one does Sickness over" (below on the right).

By Emmett Lee Dickinson:
 
As They do Healthcare over
With untransparent Mind,
Their scarcity of Choices
Of Healthcare plans obscured –
 
As They rework the Pricing Plans
And whittle at the Care
They tell Us that Provisions
Will for everyone be Fair
 
But Coverage for each Soul
And those suffering
Is likely to be questioned
For proof of evidence –
​

By Emily Dickinson:
 
As One does Sickness over
In convalescent Mind,
His scrutiny of Chances
By blessed Health obscured –

As One rewalks a Precipice
And whittles at the Twig
That held Him from Perdition
Sown sidewise in the Crag

A Custom of the Soul
Far after suffering
Identity to question
For evidence't has been –
