I have been considering health care reform proposals, and am thoroughly dismayed at the lack of understanding and compassion exhibited by the naysayers. I do not comprehend how people can think that we don't need reform, unless it is because they are happy right now with their own situation and do not care about anyone else. For those people, I reiterate Dr. Aaron Dunn's invitation to go to the free clinic at Dodgeville, sit in the waiting room, and tell his patients that our present system is working just fine. Those people know otherwise, in a very personal way.
Recently, some letters to the editor included misunderstandings and distortions about HR3200 that are being circulated on the Internet. I went to the site named, Liberty Counsel, and compared their information with that from Health Care for America Now (HCAN). I would like to recommend that others go to the HCAN Web site and read their refuting of the distortions. Then go to Fact Check.org to research both organizations. If one has unlimited time, one also could read the entire bill, and figure it out for yourself.
The government is not trying to "take over" your health care, nor come between you and your medical provider. I do believe that we need a strong public option in any reform plan, to get us out from under the expense and the limiting control of the profit driven insurance companies, and to provide some competition for them. A public option would not be forced on anyone, but rather you could keep your present plan if you like it.
Do some research. Get the facts.
