Barack Obama sent me an e-mail the other day. Out of over 250 million people in this country, he asked me to help him out with his quest for universal health care. Well I’m flattered but I am still a little skeptical that the Federal Government can manage health care and keep costs in line.
A day later David Axelrod sent me this condescending little note;
“This isn’t a game” What? I need him to tell me that? “Last night, President Obama addressed the nation in a primetime press conference about health insurance reform.
The President made crystal clear what's at stake in this debate: the fiscal well-being of our nation and the health of our families and small businesses.
Truth be told — with each passing day, more and more Americans are unable to get the health care they need, when they need it. Skyrocketing co-pays and deductibles and soaring insurance premiums are crushing our family budgets and small businesses. Unless we act now, these problems are guaranteed to get worse and worse.
Under reform, American families will get the stability and security they deserve. They'll no longer have to fear losing health care coverage if they lose or switch jobs, going bankrupt if they become seriously ill, or being denied coverage because of a pre-existing medical condition. Reform will ensure all Americans have access to quality, affordable insurance.
We all have a stake in this and for the 14,000 Americans who are losing their health insurance each day — reform can't wait.
Make sure everyone you know understands the importance and urgency of health insurance reform: Watch the President's remarks and forward this email to your friends and family. ”
“Thank you,
David Axelrod”
I guess I’m one of those trouble making idoits who doesn’t get it and want to play political games with Health Care Reform. Bull!!
They (The Administration) want to cram this bill down our throats and pass it before they piss everyone off and the Democrats get bounced out of power in Congress next year. We need a national debate on this issue so we can all have a say in Healthcare reform. I say get it right or do nothing at all. Oh wait, I forgot that’s what they do best.
