Waiting for Health Care Reform

May 24, 2009

Waiting for Health Care Reform “We’re waiting for the day when getting sick doesn’t mean going broke. We’re waiting for emergency rooms that aren’t overcrowded. We’re waiting for our policymakers to take action and fix the problem. We’re waiting for the nation to have the best health care system. We are waiting for health care...

We have such a huge task to overcome as a country. The mutli-headed monster that the “for-profit” health care industry has become seems like it just wants more and more out of the American people.

We can no longer stand by as individuals and let this monster control and dictate every aspect of our personal health and wellness.

Maybe it’s time we look to our great countries forefathers and take a piece out of their book.

What happenned to,

“When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”

Maybe its time we draft the “Declaration of Health Care Reform” and break the stronghold that the the monster has on us as a country. We need to rise up and let our voices be heard as the people of the United States of American, and reclaim our position as the world leader in health care and technology and science.

Bring on this Great Britian of modern times. We shall prove once we will overcome and regain our voice.

True health care reform will have to come from the bottom up (greassroots)and may very well require a revolution of sorts.

But we must start with the system we have. Become an activist: call your Senators and Congressmen daily and get everyone you know to do the same.

I really like your idea of a ‘Declaration of Health Care Reform.’

No, You Can’t Get There From Here!

No, You Can’t Get There From Here! Is Atul Gawande, MD , surgeon, Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School, and acclaimed author reading my blog?
