Healthcare Reform: Real People, Real Issues Discussed by Silicon Valley Moms Group
We’re so glad to see other sites and online groups discuss healthcare reform by using real examples of insurers gone wild. In fact, the Silicon Valley Moms Group began a 2-Day Virtual Town Hall in which they’ve invited women from all over the country to blog about their personal experiences in what can only be described as economic rape. Some of these trials and tribulations are truly enlightening.
I wonder if any of our elected officials are reading these. If not they should. Their constitutents are getting angry. Why should they have inexpensive yet comprehensive healthcare coverage, when their constitutents don’t?
Oh yeah, it’s because we aren’t donating enough money to their campaigns.
Now, THAT’s sick.
Read it and weep,

Our elected officials should be reading the 1000+ pages of the awful bill that they are trying desperately to force on the country in quite a hurry that we don’t even need.
And for every one story of some financial hardship under the current health care system, there are at least a dozen stories of financial AND physical hardships faced by people under socialized medicine in Canada, England, and U.S. states that have tried out universal health care. IT DOESN’T WORK, in fact, it harms WAAAAY more than it tries to help.
Once again, you’re only interested in promoting one side of the debate. If this plan is going to be all unicorns and rainbows for everyone, then why are the polls showing overwhelmingly that Americans are against it? You know the answer already, because they recognize tremendously bad-for-America, sloppy policy when they see it, espcially since it has been proven a disaster by others who have tried it already.
