To those in OUR Congress who are fighting against healthcare reform:
Shame, shame, shame on you! The American people have made it clear that they want healthcare insurance reform. Our economy cannot truly recover without REAL healthcare reform. Home foreclosures are, most often, caused by medical bills and untreated illnesses, due to the lack of affordable and effective health insurance coverage. Businesses can no longer afford the lost productivity caused by uncovered and "under"covered employees who can't get the health care they and their families need. A "public-option" must be available to compete with the big insurance carriers, and FORCE them to lower consumer costs. That's the ONLY way they will ever REALLY lower costs and increase coverage. Remember: With the insurance industry, "The Large Print Giveth and the Small Print Taketh Away." Always. ALWAYS. Congress created this stranglehold on ill, injured and hard-working Americans, by selling out to Big Pharma and the medical/insurance lobbyists. Why don't you "public" servants try proving that the insurance lobby doesn't buy your votes with their contributions to your coffers, by voting AGAINST the insurance companies and Big Pharma for a change, a change we can really believe in. Competition, per the "public option”, is the only viable mechanism to lower consumer costs and force fair and just profits in the medical and insurance markets.
