Healthcare Reform - FACT or FARCE

Health care Reform is the single biggest cost drag on our economy.

Currently the way our government is approaching it today appears to be very chaotic and rushed to many citizens. Is it good for all, or one-sided for those who don't have coverage, causing those who do to have less???

A few Basic points/questions to help you decide - common sense approach

1. Why would any elected official not read a bill before they vote for it? - seems to undermine the very purpose for electing them and very irresponsible
2. How can we have true health care reform if we don't address one of the top cost drivers - Tort Reform.
3. If this new reform, new health care plan is good for us citizens, it should be good enough for Congress. So why doesn't the Congress add wording to the bill that Congress will receive the exact same health care as everyone else - no exceptions, no variance. Don't they work for the people? is this not a government of, for and by the people??
4. The President, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank have all clearly, multiple times come out on video stating that their preference would be a Single Payer, government controlled system. Why would they now deny that this is their goal.

I think everyone agrees that health care reform is absolutely necessary. However not all agree with the way Congress is handling it - Don't read the bill, just vote for it - NOT

Currently this Congress wants to pass the bill without a full review of it's contents by the members or by the people. Why?????

Never should anything so far reaching, into every citizens home and life, be implemented without careful and complete planning, focusing on the top issues, top problems, top cost drivers, and establishing intelligent methods to address each completely.

We vote for our Congressman and Women to represent us and our views, but if they don't read the bills they vote for how can they accomplish this. This is neither a Democrat or Republican Issues, but one affecting all.

We really need to stop the partisan rhetoric and focus on the facts, with clear and honest information from our government. Please contact your congressman/women and ask them to answer the above questions. If they do and you think their answer is a reasonable and responsible answer, post it here and let's all discuss. If they can't answer these to your satisfaction, then something underhanded is afoot and we all lose.
