The one thing I will give president Obama is his desire to supply the American people with heath care. He at least knows and understands that there are a lot of people in this country that work two and three jobs and still can not afford to buy health insurance and there are even more people in this country that are not covered by employer plans and are denied health insurance due to pre-existing conditions.
The many Americans that do not want government run health insurance seem to not understand or do not care about their fellow citizens. We have people in this country that are honest and hard working people paying their own way and these same people are the ones who are not covered by employer health plans and the same ones that must decide each winter to either heat their homes or eat during the cold months. It is our government's duty to supply these people with heath care and if that means putting in a public option then so be it.
The health care reform bill is not dead it has just been delayed by congress. Funny thing is that, congress knows of the people suffering in this country due to not having health insurance and congress also knows that if the American people were put on the same health care plan that the members of congress have, there would be plenty of money to insure every American with good worth while health coverage. The members of congress vote themselves a nice big pay raise every few years and they have the best health care that there is. However, congress seems not to want the same for the people that put them in power to make decisions for the rest of us.
This writer thinks that the American people should hold congress responsible for every American that dies due to no healthcare insurance. This country not only can afford to give it's people good health care coverage, I think the American people should demand it from our law makers.
