Hey! I'm talking to you America. Remember in the Declaration of Independence where it says "We the People", well it's time to get off your butt and get informed. Stop buying the BS that passes for News and use your head. We can and must stand up and make some changes in this country. Our lives depend on it.

The health of our nation
Welcome back. I've bee away for awhile dealing with a family medical situation. At the time when some of the health care reforms are about to go into effect I'm astounded at the rhetoric from the right about taking away the very meager reforms that could make it through congress. I'll tell you, health care is not cheap, even with Medicare it cost my family a lot of money. The outright lies that have been told about "Obama Care" with imaginary death panels and many other ridiculous statements on the behalf of Billion Dollar Insurance CEOs. Health insurance is a racket, the insurers get to charge whatever they want and cancel policies after someone gets sick, and the only people who win are the CEOs who take home 100 million dollar paychecks. It's interesting to watch how the U.S. has fallen in every measurement of quality of life. Many in our country live in fear of getting sick and loosing everything they have worked hard their whole lives to achieve. There is something very wrong when Insurance companies can cancel a policy after years of paying premiums when someone get a serious illness and ruin a family all for a fatter bottom line. The Republicans want to repeal health care reforms but who are they really looking out for? CEOs, that's who. Health care should not be for profit it should be a right.
