Health Reform!

Hello, just days ago comprehensive health insurance reform passed the house, and the amendments to fix some problems to it have also been passed. This fight has lasted quite a will and we have heard a lot of spin on both sides of the aisle.

We have heard that health reform is a plot to: kill old people, kill ex-presidents, control population, provide federal funding for abortions, inject more government control into the lives of American's, decide when people live or die, throw people in jail for not obtaining private health insurance, etc and many more.

Some thing will never change, one of them being the obstructionist tactics of the far right and the new (and quite fantastic self labeled) party of HELL NO . We have learned that the conservatives true intentions are not even slightly congruent with the best interests of the American people. Tell me what is bad about legislating fairness in an exceedingly unfair and corrupt industry that has been given the unbelievable ability to legally and without consequence essentially kill people! Health care should have always been something handled exclusively between patients and doctors. Health insurance companies role in this should have been writing checks and fulfilling their contractual obligations to their customers.

That word, 'customers' has been relabeled and redefined in the not so distant past, we are basically numbers. It has been this way for quite a while in which we are a given, something that is a basic and fundamental truth. People need doctors and treatment when sick. We have had backs and bills turned right in front of our eyes, however now that change has occurred, there are some who are angry about it!

I wonder how many of those protesters don't have health insurance, wonder how many of them have had a loved one that was denied an 'experimental' yet life saving treatment? Everyone is upset with the old system, the conservatives the liberals, EVERYONE! Yet no one proposes any solution to the problem of health insurance abuses. This is what the far right fringe always offers, violence and hate when they do not get their way. This is not a government takeover, this is the role of government to protect Americans.

Once the 'death panels' never converge and rates become lower (as legally required) people will jump for joy that these patriots fought tooth and nail for this legislation. I solute the brave liberals and moderates for supporting this legislation, soon we will not be at risk for losing our coverage as a result of getting sick, needing an expensive medication, getting married or having a child.
