HEALTH CARE FOR ALL

I'VE SAT BACK AND WATCHED THE HEALTH CARE DEBATE GO FROM POLITICAL RHETORIC TO ABSOLUTE LIES AND TOTAL INSANITY. I MUST ADMIT THAT THE CIRCUS LIKE BEHAVIOR OF POLITICIANS AND PUNDITS AGAINST HEALTH CARE INFURIATED ME AT TIMES (BECAUSE OF THE LIVES LOST WHILE THEY PLAYED OUT THEIR MONEY GAME), BUT ON THE WHOLE (UNLIKE MOST PROGRESSIVE)I USUALLY FOUND IT TO BE ENTERTAINING, AND EVEN AMUSING AT TIMES. THE CARTOONISH CHARACTERS LIKE GLEN BECK, RUSH LIMBAUGH, AND THE MAJORITY OF THE FOX "NEWS" LINE UP COULD ALWAYS BE COUNTED ON TO SAY SOMETHING SO OUTRAGEOUS,THAT ITS A WONDER HOW THEY WERE ABLE SUPPRESS THEIR OWN LAUGHTER. ITS BLATANTLY CLEAR THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE POLITICIANS AGAINST HEALTH CARE ARE AGAINST IT FOR SELF INTEREST. USUALLY BECAUSE OF THEIR MONETARY TIES TO INSURANCE COMPANIES, AND SECONDLY BECAUSE OF THEIR DESIRE TO REMAIN IN THEIR POSITIONS. THEY CATER TO A SEGMENT OF THEIR CONSTITUENCY THAT HAVE BEEN MISSINFORMED WITH FALSE INFORMATION PUT OUT AND PAID FOR BY THE INSURANCE COMPANIES. TOTALLY IDIOTIC ASSERTIONS LIKE HEALTHCARE MEASURES WOULD GIVE US SOCIALIZED MEDICINE (NOT THAT SOCIALIZED MEDICINE IS A BAD THING), GOVERNMENT TAKEOVER OF HEALTH CARE, AND DEATH PANELS TO DECIDE WHO LIVES AND WHO DIES HAVE TAKEN OVER THE DEBATE AND TURNED NORMAL? PEOPLE INTO LUNATICS CARRYING SIGNS DIRECTED AGAINST THE LEADER OF THEIR OWN COUNTRY (A MAN WHO HAS A GREAT HEALTH CARE PLAN, AND HAS NO SELF INTEREST IN MOVING THE DEBATE ONE WAY OR THE OTHER). ITS TIME FOR AMERICANS TO WAKE UP AND OPEN THEIR EYES TO THIS VERY IMPORTANT AND SERIOUS SITUATION. PASSING A STRONG HEALTHCARE BILL WITH A STRONG PUBLIC OPTION IS IN MY OPPINION THE MOST IMPORTANT TASK FOR AMERICANS THIS CENTURY. OUR ENTIRE FUTURE RIDES MORE ON HEALTH CARE THAN THE ECONOMY. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN EXTREMELY BROKE? HAVE YOU EVER BEEN EXTREMELY SICK? MOST OF US WOULD CHOOSE BROKE OVER SICK. TOO MANY OF US ARE FORCED TO DEAL WITH BOTH.
