Arghh! Just when I thought there was real hope for US health care reform, I see that progress is being bogged down by politics. I have not given up hope, but I am getting impatient with Congress and business as usual. Maybe real change was on the horizon, but it still looks as if we have a way to go before we can brag that we have really evolved beyond partison bickering.
Who Wants to Kill Health Reform?
Republicans are bragging that the demise of health care reform may be Obama’s Waterloo. His Waterloo? It will be everybody’s Waterloo, so I can hardly see where this situation should involve any gloating.
Critics of US health care reform keep bringing up Canada. And then there are those TV ads with horror stories from our neighbors up north. And yet the vast majority of Canadians are satisfied with their system, but who is talking about Canada anyway? Really!
Look at US health insurance programs like Medicare Health Insurance. Just try to pry that benefit from the hands of American seniors. I think we need to examine our own US way of delivering health care to Americans. Let the Canadians worry about themselves.
Right now, millions of Americans, including children, lack a health insurance plan. Many of these citizens are working, or the kids or working parents. Many have tried to apply for individual health insurance, but they cannot get accepted because of pre-existing conditions or a huge cost.
We need to stop whining, annd get started. Learn more about the government’s plan here: Health Reform.
