Health care talk is on TV, radio, newspapers, laptops, desktops... There is a conundrum of opinions on health care of the elderly people in our country and there seems no end is in sight. I am looking at a cartoon of "Unhappy Hour at the Health Care Reform Bar and Grill. There they are discussing things like shooting all the old people or stealing social security monies, etc. These words are coming from characters of old folks and it's pathetic. People need to start thinking how we can gain our lives back and start enjoying the time we have left on this earth. I am not talking as a MSer but as a human being still alive and breathing. How about praying for a wise decision from our President and his staff; and all of the politicians in the world? Lawmakers should worry more on getting the details right than delaying the action. This is a terribly important issue for all of us and we need the leaders to move on. The citizens of this country need to know what is new regarding healthcare. Give us the good news that is supposed to be coming with this new administration. Overhauling the national health system is a monumental task but what has been done so far? Some say a free-for-all exaggeration of the past 50 years’ action is what we are hearing about and it didn’t work then so why try it now? I guess these tactics have been a staple in the health care debates for two decades, so why change now? |
