Health Care Reform

They are at the table, and they are planning your future. Don't you think it's time the we the people have the right to know and discuss our future concerning healthcare? - don't you think it is time that we the people can be treated equal? Don't you think that we the people have rights to approve or disapprove how the government controls our health care?

We the people have voted for those in charge, but far too often they side step with the party and go along for the parties sake, and not the sake of the people. Health Care is one place this has happened, and will continue to happen...

Perhaps, we the people should have the right to choose, without leaving out those with pre existing conditions, or denying drugs for those with long term care needs, or seniors...

I have a good friend, and you might too... she is living with ALS, and because of health care within her state, she cannot continue to live at home because they believe who has helped her for years are now not qualified, so they want to place her in a nursing home. Her parents, would take her in, being in their eighties, they will use all their money they saved to help their daughter, and most parents would do this... but can't we find a way to help people with issues? Can't we see that those with long term care issues have a health plan cheap enough to live the last years of their life, in peace, the way they would want to live?

The list goes on, and on... Why do seniors work all their life only to do without when they need it?

We the people have the right to know, and we don't know all the insides to each party and their choice for health care, what they are now debating. Will we ever?

HOW SICK CAN YOU BE?

This week the morning news introduced a site where you can place a little DNA into a cylinder, ship it out, and find out where, 85,000 years ago, your ancester's began. Today, we have people asking policy makers in Washington DC to listen, they are suffering with a tagged, pre-existing condition. Think Washington, how many people are diagnosed because of advances in medicine? And,in this day and age, a large portion of Americans have pre-existing conditions, and they need medical care and medication. Why can't we get to the root of the problem and make sure everyone with a pre-existing condtion is covered even if they change insurance companies. You see, there is always a twist or turn in the written word. How sick can you be?

Reviewing the said statement above regarding DNA, it made me think, in a few years the insurance company maybe asking us to complete this type of testing, then and only then, will they make a choice to cover you for your health care needs. You know, this isn't a thought in the wind, this is happening today... DNA can place labels on you that will never fall off.

In my heart, I believe, our Government should take Health Care, one step at a time, beginning with the most important issues... present them to the people in plain English, to inform and educate, then come to the table!

How do you feel about the future of those with pre-existing conditions?
