Rules For The Road To Health Care Reform
1 Comment// Posted in Previous TTMYT Articles by TTMYT on 08.11.09.
Let’s be a bit more rational about health care reform shall we?. Much cooler heads should prevail! A little common sense will go a long way in this debate.
First, we must establish and agree on some basic facts. Ask yourself, with the current spiral of health care costs, is the path we are on sustainable? The answer to that question is pretty clear. Health care costs are spiraling through the roof! Can we agree on that point? Great!
Let’s just say that other than a few extremists with their own agendas the above is fairly understood as FACT. That means the health care system is broken and doesn’t really work very well.
I have personally watched as my premiums went from $312.00 per month up to $625.00 in the blink of an eye. I watched as my diabetic wife received medications priced out at anywhere from $1,500.00 to $3,000.00 PER MONTH! Sorry folks, no matter how I try, I cannot see that as a good health care working model.
Heard the phrase,” If it’s broken, fix THE DANG THING”? Duh! So let’s stop fighting and start fixing! I expect more out of my fellow Americans than the childish fear mongering crap I see coming out of these town hall meetings! We are better as a people than what has been demonstrated in some of those meetings! Some of the behavior looks like children in a sandbox fighting over a pail. Cut it out! Grow up already!
The really odd thing to me is that those yelling loudest are folks that stand to gain a ton of goodness out of what is currently being proposed. What the hell is wrong with having the government (only entity large enough to stand up to the out of control health care lobby) to offer an alternative plan to force the insurance companies to compete? The very competition the government would offer is the thing that will drive YOUR PREMIUMS down should you have a plan you are pleased with. Folks ranting and raving saying things not based in truth and why? Is it because they are afraid that with a little competition their own rates might actually come down? Their prescriptions might cost less? Let me remind you. “Competition” IS American!
Here’s a novel idea, what if the government plan is actually cheaper and with more protections written into it than the one you currently have? (That is part of the government proposal i.e. no pre-existing condition refusal etc.)
Why do you think the insurance lobby is fighting so hard to see reform defeated? Use your heads please! Do any of you seriously believe the folks that run the industry have suddenly become benevolent? That they care about you? Wake up! They care about squeezing every last dollar they can out of you. If it financially ruins you, so what? Their CEO’s will still live large no matter what becomes of your sorry self!
How many American lives have been ruined already with the industries exorbitant costs? Does anyone seriously believe we should, like lambs to slaughter just let this continue?
The Senators and Congressman that perpetuate all these phony fear mongering lies should be investigated and be locked up for their,”Treasonous” behavior! Look at the one’s who have said the most ridiculous things about the health care reform issue. If you follow the trail on each of them honestly what you will find is a strong tie between them and the health insurance industry. That is, to a man the facts!
Why would any rational being, looking at the current state of health care and cost’s in America say anything other than, we can do so much better than this.
Do any of you see any of these myth-perpetuating idiots doing or saying anything that actually helps to improve the system? No not ONE. They spend all their time perpetuate lies that serve the health care industry but do not represent the needs of the American people they were elected to serve!
Like my Daddy said before he passed away this last January, “Son, always remember, it is far easier to tear something apart than it is to put it back together”. He also used to say, ”Your part of the problem or your part of the solution, which are you’?
So, which are you?
I listen to the likes of John Bonyers, Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, John Cronyn, Jim DeMint, Mitch McConnell, Jeff Sessions, Lemar Alexander, Judd Gregg, and the list goes on, and what I find with just a modicum of investigation is that they all have an agenda not at all related to facts, truth or solutions as they relate to health care improvements and you! They have focused all their energies in tearing down any attempt at true Health care reform and spent zero time trying to help in making health care better!
Alarmists they are at best but truly more a scary reminder of the insanity of the McCarthy years. They should all be ashamed of themselves! Go ahead, I challenge any of you to really investigate any of them as relates to their possible ties to the insurance industry and lobby. Let us know what you find.
I tell you what. The insurance lobby and its cronies are counting on an un-informed, scared electorate to defeat any reform that may break their stranglehold on YOUR pocket book. You can take that to the bank!

Great observation and so true, you hit the nail on the head, too bad others are too dumb to see the light. Great Job – Your editorial should be emailed to the Obama website. At least some one in America is thinking straight-
