Don't Use Our Healthcare as Your Political Battlefield!

The United States is one of the last of the First World countries to offer its citizens comprehensive healthcare. But the issue has been politically divisive and a target for extreme and often false political rhetoric. The Affordable Care Act is similar to a plan proposed by the Republican Party many years ago and actually implemented in 2006 in Massachusetts by then Governor, Mitt Romney.

So why has the GOP fought so hard to defeat Obamacare? For political advantage? Unbelievably, some have stated healthcare is a privilege, not a right. But, healthy citizens are productive citizens. Partisan politics has once again trumped good governance.


The posters in this series reflect the conflicts the American political system has been experiencing during the turbulent period between 2010-2018. They are meant to encourage an exploration and a dialogue about the cultural minefield we now find ourselves in.
