It seems one of the biggest topics since President Obama took office has been the much debated and controversial heatlh care reform. If political parties weren't divided in the past-they surely are now. The senators who make up the committee are for the most part Conservatives-either Conservative Democrats or Republicans, unless you count Joe Lieberman from Connecticut. He calls himself an Independent or another way of putting it...Judas of the Democrat Party. This was a man who ran with Al Gore as a Vice-Presidential candidate. I guess a few years can change a man's mind and political stripes.
The opponents of the health care reform act are made up of the following: wingnuts, birthers, Conservative Democrats and Republicans. They have been trying to put the kabosh on this thing from the beginning. Why is it so hard to admit that our country's health care system is severely flawed. There are millions of uninsured and underinsured Americans who have to deprive themselves of medical care because of not being able to afford it.
The first thing is to get the uninsured and underinsured taken care of, that is the main priority. These are the people whe have been neglected and ignored in this country. Many people cannot afford health insured that is being offered to them through their employers because of high premiums and costs. On the other side of the coin, you have the working class and so-called "working poor" who fall between the cracks and do not qualify for Medicaid or state-sponsored health insurance because their incomes are too high. When you have people who have to make the critical decision of whether to pay for their prescriptions-or buy food, pay rent, etc-it's a very disheartening thing. Especially in this country with all it's weatth, advancement and power.
