What do you think?
I consider myself a reasonably intelligent, informed citizen. But all the raging on and on about health care reform is extremely frustrating to me, generating much more heat than enlightenment. One side bays that a proposed solution is absolutely necessary or we'll all be paying every penny we earn to fat cat doctor and hospital groups and insurance companies. The other bays that it will bring about the absolute end of American civilization as we know it. Both sides rage on about all the people getting rich at the expense of normal American citizens. Who ARE those people? All I know is that I'm getting a damn sight poorer every year as I try to manage our health care expenses. At this point, I hardly care which side is right. I just want something to pass so that I don't have to worry about affording my (and esp. my daughter's) skyrocketing prescription medication, or having my coverage cut off, or double-digit increases in premiums, year after year.
Jesus, Christ Almighty. Just act like the rest of the industrialized world, wouldja? Just PASS HEALTH CARE REFORM.
