The State of Health Care
The stunning victory of the Republican Party in Massachusetts yesterday sent a message loud and clear to the White House and Congress that the American people do not like the direction health care reform is taking. It did not send the message that health care reform is not needed, nor wanted. The White House and Congress should be clear on this issue - your motives and ideals are solid; your process leaves many questions unanswered and only an ever-increasing budget deficit.
The time is now to role up your sleeves and really get to work on a true reform of health care. One that utilizes what is best about America and does not seek to borrow the solutions (and problems) of other countries. Ask us to sacrifice and we will; ask us the help pay for it and we will; but tell us this is what you are going to cram down our throats whether we like it or not and you will learn what Lexington and Concord were all about. Of course, it is no coincidence that Lexington and Concord were in Massachusetts, don't you think?
Believe it or not, there does come a time when re-inventing the wheel is a good thing.
