health Care reform
I having been watching the latest health care reforms and I have to say I am not pleased in the manner that the so called Democratic process is working. From the screaming and shouting in the town hall meetings to the blatant outrage of the bill it seems as if we are talking about going to war with Mexico instead of our first fighting chance at real health care reform. I am sure that our founding fathers are loving how this whole debate has panned out. As a liberal democrat I am for the health care bill and would like to see it passed. I think that we have an obligation as humans to make sure that all people have quality health care. I understand that the reason that most people are against the reform is because they don't want the government telling them what to do. I just as the next person also do not want the government to tell me what to do but in case of real health care reform i think it is necessary that we at least listen to what they have to say. At the current rate health care cannot go on in the way it is going because it will break an already broken bank system. We as a country elected Obama and knew what his agenda was so if you knew his agenda and what he wanted to do with health care then why did we put him into office in the first place. I can guess that many of you have not read the entire 700 plus page bill and are listening to your biased party leaders to tell you the facts. That is wrong because if you listen to your party leaders they aren't going to tell you the whole truth about the health care bill. Everyone knows that the only way to insure 46 million Americans is to raise someones taxes. In Obama plans that is only for the people that can afford this in the troubling times that are upon us. That is the people who make 250,000 dollars or more. If the taxes were raised, is that so bad. i heard people say the reason that they don't want reform is because even if they don't get sick they have to pay for someone else. If you have a problem with paying for someone else then you have a problem with our education system which goes off of property taxes. That money is taxed whether you have a kid that goes to public school or not. We need to band together as a nation put our greedy selfish ways away and put ourselves in the 46 million Americans shoes who don't have health insurance.

\SenPres, you have hit the nail right on the head, and when you do that you have goood contact with the nail, you are so right so many people do not read fro themselvers something that would be helpful to them, you are right we rely to much on so called party leaders to explain what is in a bill,but we must as you have pointed out be mindful of the fact that they have a vested interest i fighting against what could be in our best interest, and in most cases it is for political or monetary gain, so you are right we are the best watch dog over what is good for us. I love that you hammer home the point of people needing to read the Health Care bill for themselves or if you can't read it for yourself listen to someone who is unbiased, I have seen debates like this before, that is why we must educate ourselves to understand what is good for us, so that when something as important as this comes along we will be able to make our choices without being overwhelmed by anothers opinion, regardless of what it is, we will be able to make the right choice for ourselves. I like also the fact that you are a people person and you have looked at the whole picture, God Bless you.
