Congress & Health Care Reform

Just for the record, i am 100% behind the health care reforms being proposed by the president. I think it is shameful that people are willing to turn their heads when tens of millions of Americans have no access to health care. How can profits be more important to people than people themselves?

But, i also admit that i am willing to see the reform attempts fail. Congress has apparently opted themselves out of any new reforms and will give themselves a special (better) health plan — just like they did with Social Security. I'd rather see the reforms fail than see them get away with this again.

Demand that when any final reforms are signed into law all citizens are included, whether they are in the congress or any other governmental agency; president exempted. Tell your congressmen/women that you will not vote for them in their next primary election if they try to opt out.

Demanding that they be included is the same as demanding that they really, really, really think about what they are doing.

Demand it now! If we don't start to hold congress accountable they will never change.

(And, yes, i have already sent an email to my representatives.)
