To begin, let me say again that it IS American to question what is fair and to demand equality, whether that be for equality in treatment and health care. I will add that I have friends and family in Canada, The Netherlands, France and Germany, and not one person there is planning any trips to the US to obtain health care. They seem pretty darn content in what they have, and regardless of the social economic standing, and what they will continue to have.
We must not to be mislead by the insurance industry and medical establishment, drug companies and the like into believing that health care reform is somehow un American. Special Interest and their influence on our government is un American. Let us not listen or give credence to Sarah Palin, who seems to be continue her campaign of fear mongering in her new life. She injects non truths in the same way her ticket did during the election.
Health care and the costs associated is what will continue to drain our economy, as we continue to spend more than any other industrialized county, yet have a lower life expectancy. Our legislators have a better health plan than the citizenry... this just is wrong. If you wish, continue with what you have, but to deny or not make health care available to all is wrong!
