Massachusetts is America!!

The Massachusetts Senate Election yesterday, was America taking its country back. It was great to see. A state known as the most liberal states, saw the independent voters come out and oppose what is going on in Washington. With it, the Senate lost the vote it needs to pass health care reform. I have been singing the Don Mclean song American Pie all day, but instead of the line "the day, the music died." I keep thinking the day health care reform died. At least the bills on the table now that are loaded with higher taxes, less choice and bribes to Nebraska and Lousiana.

I am a believer that the system needs fixed, but again, look at the poles, only 32% of Americans wanted the bill that was being rammed through Congress. We elect officials to be our representation to do what WE WANT, not their own liberal agenda ( or conservative agenda if that is the case).

Massachusetts sent a message yesterday to Washington, that America, and this still is America, a government for the people by the people, is tired of how things are being done in Washington.

I hope now they will listen.

Health Care Vs. Health Insurance

Some where, some how, our government got the notion that if everyone had health insurance we would have better health. That is what I am taking from health care reform. As far as I can tell, saying that everyone has health insurance does not mean anything. Britian has reported as recently as 2007 that at any given time between 900,000 and 1,000,000 people were waiting for admission to National Health Care Hospitals. Sweeden you can wait 25 weeks for HEART SURGERY, while a hip replacement could take a year.

Those who support Universal Health Care, fear people will be denied the care they need. Americans already have access to emergency care, regardless of their ability to pay. To see your local physician, you do not need insurance, they accept cash.

In 2006, the New England Journal of Medicine found that although too many Americans were not receiving the appropriate standard of care, "health insurance status was largely unrelated to the quality of care".

It has been stated recently that our reform to cover everyone will actually increase the cost of private insurance by 15%. I am really hoping to keep my costs down, and will I still get my tax deduction for purchasing my own insurance??

Some things to consider.
