TRANSPARENCYandACCOUNTABILITY.ORG, “IT's OUR TURN”

19
Aug

Well here we are again -  our representation in Washington is at a standstill - every ideological group in both the Senate & House are heading in different directions with a different agenda for health care.

All factions in Congress seem to agree that our current health care system is broken and not sustainable. However, too many have their own special interests (lobbyists) and plans representing those interests – few, if any appear to be in the best interest of the people who elected them.

Our concern is that President Obama and the Administration is going to abandon their campaign promise of Health Care Reform that will offer every citizen the choice of a public option that gives affordable, quality care.

Will we get another “watered down” version of health care reform similar to the credit card “reform” that is supposed to stop “loan shark” interest rates & fees being charged consumers; or the mortgage relief program that has barely helped people stay in their homes because the banks we taxpayers bailed out are still not making loans?

It sure sounds to us like “politics as usual” where everyone is being appeased and the people are getting the same old treatment – have they forgot who sent them to Washington?

If our government is going to be involved in our lives to the degree they are – let’s be damn sure it’s doing something that makes a significant impact for the people.
