Health care

Why is it that we can't seem to get health care reform? I wonder about that a lot. Most of the answer is that most of the folks that are against it, are willing to tell some pretty tall tales in order to kill any reform. Why is it that they want to kill reform? Well, there are some folks in the health care and Insurance industries who don't want anyone cutting into their profits. Then there are some folks who think it won't work and will cost too much. There are some folks who think we already have good health care for everybody. Then there are some folks who are afraid that if it gets passed, the current administration will gain an advantage from it. By not passing it they think they'll gain that advantage. Now the folks who think it might not work or will cost too much are, at least, honest. Wrong maybe, but honest. The folks who are afraid of loosing some of their profits are somewhat honest. I mean there's nothing wrong with making profits. It's good for the economy. It just isn't a good reason to block reform. The folks who think we already have good health care for everybody, live in a bubble. Don't pay any attention to them. They don't have any idea what's going on. The folks who are afraid of loosing an advantage are just plain dishonest. Now, I think the current Health Care bill is far from perfect, but it's a country mile better than what we have. If we don't pass this bill, it will be decades before we get another chance and before we get that chance the current system will bankrupt the country. So, what's your pleasure? An imperfect bill or America down the tubes? I've already called my Congressman and Senators. How about you?
