While I am in a political bent here at RJ’s Corner I thought I would tackle one final issue about my home State before I put this putrid topic back on the shelf! I am a Hoosier and in some regards proud of that fact. But when it comes to our politics I am embarrassed to proclaim my birthplace.  I am even more embarrassed when it comes to the politics involved with the health and wellness of many of my fellow Hoosiers.

As shown by the image below Indiana of the last couple of decades at least is a very different place than most of the other States in the Midwest. We stick out like a sore thumb.

By his political actions our governor, who was hand-picked by his party machine predecessor, has chosen to deny thousands of my fellow citizen access to healthcare that would only cost him five cents on the dollar in local taxes. The quality of care for many in Indiana is no better than most of the southern States and that is pretty dismal.  Just so you get the point here is another graphic. Of course you could take all the green and turn it blue and all the grey and turn it red and you would see the typical political condition of our country.

When it comes to caring about the least of our citizens Indiana simply gets an “F”. If you don’t have wealth and its subsequent voting power you are a forgotten person in my State.  It is time to close this can up and put it back on the shelf before it stinks up my entire house.
