Health Care Reform

There has been a lot of information and misinformation being reported about President Obama's health care reforms. Call me a bit old fashioned but I think this is getting out of hand. Here's a couple points I would like to make:
  1. Reform of any kind, especially one as important and impacts as many as insurance, is not something that should be rushed through.
  2. Interest groups on both sides should come out with their views publicly instead of hiding behind 'concerned citizens' at town hall meetings.
  3. America needs to change the way it funds and spends medical treatments.
  4. Medical bills have gotten out of control. Period. Families shouldn't have to choose between putting food on the table and life saving, or even life enhancing, medications.
Now do I or anyone else have all the answers? NO, but action is necessary and now not later.

Comprehensive Universal Medical Care is practical, if not in its current rendition then in some yet unseen form.

I welcome comments but be constructive. It sounds like a cliche but it is easier to tear down the to build.
