I work for a Catholic based health ystem. Years ago changes in the MA health laws and in conjunction with Obama care we were forced to close down our adoption operation. This “orphanage” was created in the late 1800’s as a result of immigrants who came to the US and died as a result of illness or industrial accident, leaving many children orphans.
This operation was in place for more than 125 years. It accepted public money through Medicare and Medicaid. But that was supplemental to donations and the endowment.
When the laws changed it was mandated that they “the nuns” open up the process to gay couples and singles. This was something that was fundamentally against the moral stance of the sisters. They chose to spend down the endowment and close the doors.
I would love to know who benefitted from THAT? Certainly not the kids. Or the adoptive parents.
It’s just one little story. But it is part of a mosaic depicting the shit towards socialism in our country.
Another piece of that mosaic is how my spell checker sees “shit” instead of shift as a normal word used in everyday language. Sorry about that slipping through.
