Health Care Reform, More "Change" We Can Believe in...Right?


Can somebody please help me understand how it is not the democratic process or the American way to let your Senator or Representative know that you don't like something? People across the country are letting their elected representatives know that they do not like the idea of Socialized health care and they are being called "plants", "special interest groups", and being systematically dismissed as rowdies who don't really represent what America is thinking. Is that so? Then why does it happen everywhere these guys are holding their town halls? People do not want to be told what they can and cannot be seen for at the doctor. Insurance companies do that enough the way it is, it would be worse with Uncle Sam as the head of the World's largest HMO. Maybe these legislators should listen to their constituents and go back to Washington and tell our new Socialist President that this "change" of his may need another look...or at least come up with a plan that is not filled with generalities. I am all for people being able to be seen by a doctor, but I believe that is what Welfare has been abused for all these years. Perhaps he is trying to fix the wrong problem. Hopefully they will start listening to the citizens of this country instead of dismissing them as a bunch of ignorant trouble makers.
