This is worth considering; since health care reform belongs in a different arean than the legislature and needs to be developed as a national priority from the president developing a working panel of experts from all fields that can bring concensus to a problem which we all face together.
Letter to the Editor CAHU
Enough is Enough. I recognize I may be naïve, but I thought lawmakers were supposed to be lawmakers first, then become politicians at election time. The national health care reform process has proven otherwise. No matter which party did what during this particular process, even if party roles were reversed it would be just as unacceptable.
Lawmakers should create and move forward legislation only if they believe it is the right thing to do. So when during this process, several lawmakers felt the Senate health care bill was not the right thing to do, their own party resorted to bribery to obtain their vote. How else could it be described when their own party offered Medicaid financing for that lawmaker’s state at no cost, forever, and offers $300+ million dollars for another state’s Medicaid financing only to secure their vote!
The worst part is that it worked.
How can this possibly be justified, let alone tolerated? It’s okay to be upset about this. Americans need to stay civilized about this, but be passionate as well. Let’s communicate to, and vote to remind lawmakers that they need to stick to what they feel is the right thing to do.
