Saw this on a blog - I feel like I don't know enough about Health Care to form a solid opinion. But I do believe we were in need of a major change. So I am sitting back and hoping for the best.
I do find it SOOO annoying that even without complete knowledge of what the future holds, everyone wants to complain about what is going on and doesn't seem to remember EIGHT years of BS we went through. I don't think this will be perfect and there are things that I don't agree with, paying for abortions, or the rumor that immigrants will have free health care but ya know what?! you gotta start somewhere. And for all of you that believe that getting charged 28.00 for an aspirin at the hospital is normal, you are blinded by the ridiculous insurance companies that have monopolized health care. Time for a change.
Wanted to share:
We had eight years of Bush and Cheney, Now you get mad!? You didn't get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and appointed a President. You didn't get mad when Cheney allowed Energy company officials to dictate energy policy. You didn't get mad when a covert CIA operative got outed. You didn't get mad when the Patriot Act got passed. You didn't get mad when we illegally invaded a country that posed no threat to us.You didn't get mad when we spent over 600 billion(and counting) on said illegal war. You didn't get mad when over 10 billion dollars just disappeared in Iraq. You didn't get mad when you found out we were torturing people. You didn't get mad when the government was illegally wiretapping Americans. You didn't get mad when we didn't catch Bin Laden. You didn't get mad when you saw the horrible conditions at Walter Reed. You didn't get mad when we let a major US city, New Orleans, drown. You didn't get mad when we gave a 900 billion tax break to the rich. You didn't get mad when the deficit hit the trillion dollar mark. You finally got mad when the government decided that people in America deserved the right to see a doctor if they are sick. Yes, illegal wars, lies, corruption, torture, stealing your tax dollars to make the rich richer, are all okay with you, but helping other Americans...oh hell no.

Couldn't agree more. Yes, I'm not crazy about what I have heard about some aspects of the health bill, and I think Obama could be doing a much better job, but you are right, and people seem to forget the huge cluster-fu*k that was 8 years of Bush, he left the country in such a dump, how can we expect anyone to fix it all?
I wish I gave birth to you...sigh...you are so brilliant and brave. I love that you are in my circle of special people.
