Shazi For Senate? ;)

One Nation Under God.

As I close my eyes and drift away to a land where there is love, health, peace, and blessings. I wanted to take a moment to think and reflect.

     I graduated from business and landed my first job at an American Fortune 500 corporation. From being a full - time stay at home mother, to a full - time student, and then towards a corporate culture. The dichotomous transitions could not have been more visible. Thinking back I don't think that I was ready for such a transition. However, as I adjusted to my surroundings, I wondered why there was so much dis-organization. So I began to organize, paperwork, files, everything I could organize, I began doing so. This is probably where all my home organizing skill came in handy. Of course on a resume you would write organization skills, but would you say that these are derived from caring for a home?

     In the same sense I began to relate this concept of organizing to that of all the controversies that are surrounding the health care bills, and also the shuffling of staff within the White House. Sometimes like the new young business graduate who brought in fresh or naive perspectives, I wish I could do some cleaning and organizing in the White House or Senate, but this time with the issues and topics that are being discussed.

     Staff
With regards to the staff changes, I can say that when anyone desires to serve and become a member of office for the United States of America, then of course there must be loyalty, trust and also a willingness to stand behind a President. If any member cannot adhere to these core values of trust, honesty, and loyalty to stand with a nation, then I think that their presence is not needed. Of course this is not to say that there won't be dialogues and discussions about topics or issues, differing values or opinions, but ultimately the call to office is to serve a nation. Many people put their lives at risk to serve our nation. And it is only fitting that staff members respect their presence as a privileged honor, a call to duty. 

     Senate
With respect to the senate and bills that are passed, here the presence differs to that of being hired as a staff member at the White House. Of course the core values of trust, loyalty, and honesty remain, but the Senate is a place for open dialogue, debate, discussion, a democratic space - A Democracy. Members are discussing topics and issues in this space where there will be open agreements and dis - agreements. The setting, job role, responsibilities allow for these exchanges. Even in a state of disagreement, the members are still serving the United States of America. They are pushing for or against something that is for the good of a nation.

     Health Care
So now comes the idea of Obama Care vs. Trump Care. Obama Care is formally known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Trump Care is formally known as The American Health Care Act. To tell you the truth there are advantages to both. To highlight one core difference, I will share that Obama Care does indeed take the needs of the poor and sick over Trump Care. Trump care focuses to provide tax - breaks for the wealthy. Whilst I am not either for or against Trump or Obama care, I do think that there needs to be revisions for health care in the United States of America. The tensions are both from Democrats and Republicans, because they can't seem to make a final decision.

     To delve deeper into the issue, I am thinking that large companies or corporations will prefer to overhaul Obama Care because it costs them to provide for health care coverages. But then we also have the tensions of who will be responsible for those who cannot afford care as time goes by. I said earlier that I am neither for or against, because I actually think that a persons access to health care is a human right. Whilst there are states who provide different or amended versions of health care varying from state to state, I think that there needs to be some sort of universal care that seeks to level - the - playing field. 

     I do acknowledge that America has a unique culture and prefers minimal Government interventions, I also think that there has to be some sort of responsibility upon the shoulder of the nation - state. Health care for all spectrums of society regardless of earnings, income, or job. Obama Care has placed a greater burden upon companies and corporations, who are also tax - payers. Whilst Trump Care may prove a risk for certain income bracket levels.  

     With these thoughts in mind, we have to think that if Trump Care is passed how will the needs of populations in need be met? If Obama Care remains how can the pressure be eased for corporations, and companies who are paying for health care and coverages? Maybe we could pass Trump care with amendments to the proposed changes? I think that these are essential questions that need to be asked. 

    America is birthed from the creative, innovative, entrepreneurial spirit, with a strong sense of work ethic. America has grown - flourishing and prospering. We must ensure that all facets of life are given the opportunity to flourish and prosper with good health. It is an absolute that the flourishing of all groups will eventually impact the flourishing of a nation. Individuals should be inspired to grow in any field they choose, with opportunity, and a reduced sense of burden.

   Concluding Thought
The issue of health care must seek be resolved. Lets get organized and deal with matters, so that no one or no bill gets left behind.

Maybe it is time to bring in the Vice - President, President of the Senate?

Dedication: The words of this being are dedicated to all members who serve the United States of America, a duty of honor. God Bless You and God Bless America. With lots of love & Kindness! :)
