"How Dem Sponsored Healthcare Helped Me"

By Kamau Austin, Publisher Of The Scoop On Black News, BlackNewsScoop.com and the Scoop news blogs and Publications.

We are seeing this political season an onslaught of political opposition to the political campaign of Kamala Harris.  Many of these Black Trump supporters, trolls, bots, and pro-Black imposters raise the issue that the democrats haven't done anything of substance for Black people.

These arguments become heated, and can become so abstract and ideological I wanted to take a different approach by illustrating my points with making it personal.   I'm glad to be alive today because I am a survivor of two different forms of cancer.

And actually the surgeries alone to survive these 2 forms of cancer would have been over $200,000.  My hospitals stays over the last 4 years would have been over $300,000.

Without these critical surgeries and hospital stays I would have died.  I paid nothing out to pocket for these expensive hospital stays because my health insurance was covered by the Affordable Care Act or ACA AKA Obamacare.

Now while some conservatives and others against affordable healthcare call these programs socialist, a significant number of developed nations have universal healthcare already - while the US does not.

Moreover, I had about $300,000 in healthcare costs and paid nothing out of pocket accept the costs of traveling to the hospital.  I thank God I'm still alive and do what I can to stay healthy like exercising, having a strict diet and taking supplements, and doing intermittent fasting.

VP Kamala Harris Rockets To

Promising Political Leadership After

President Biden Bows Out Of
2024 President Race

By Kamau Austin, Co-Publisher The Black News Scoop

After a very concerning and highly criticized debate performance with Donald Trump, a few weeks ago, President Joe Biden, decided not to seek reelection for another term as President, and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris - to become the Democratic Presidential nominee.  Since then the Presidential political landscape has become highly rebooted and reenergized!

VP Harris has become a cause célèbre", especially in democratic circles.  This is because many feel her candidacy and presumptive Presidential nominee position is more than just about her personal perspectives and proclivities on governing policy.

Many actually feel she embodies a transcendent bulwark against autocracy, fascism, with an urgent mission to save democracy from the threat of Donald Trump's ambitions.  This is because of the weaponizing of the Supreme Court to grant President immunity in a recent broad legal decision on his actions, in addition to the court getting rid of affirmative action in college admissions, and decisions like overturning Roe v. Wade.

President Biden's highly reporting polling numbers for his campaign was troubling to say the least as far as beating Donald Trump.  There were subtle and not so subtle calls for President Biden to suspend his campaign by party leaders, major donors, and many in the Democratic Party.

The major media was unwavering in its coverage of the questions around if President Joe Biden, could win the election due to his age and cognitive sharpness.  Although the President, and many of his supporters, where resolute in their determination to run for a 2nd term, the countless polls and pundits gloomy forecasts and major donor slippage made his campaign not viable and he honorably stepped aside for VP Harris.
