 start over on health care  as the show down approaches on universal health care in washington it appears president obama will attempt one last desperate effort to push through a modified version of the health care bill the majority of the people really don t like or want however to save face the president and the democrats must push through something to say they have been successful regardless of what the people of the country want the people have made it very clear they want congress and the president to go back to the drawing board and hammer out a truly bipartisan bill it s time have a real dialog about what the people of this country want and need forcing through a health care bill to say you have accomplished your mission without actually addressing the underling defects of the current system is unconscionable i am sure the reasoning of the democrats reflects what iowa senator tom harken said it has room for expansion and additions in the future if we don t start the starter home we ll never get there so this is not the end of health care reform this is the beginning of health care reform the democrats feel they can go back later and change what they couldn t get passed in the original bill their approach is to take away your rights and freedoms incrementally so that you will never notice it has happened until it is too late as a conservative i am disheartened our leaders in washington are driven by political agendas and interests that do not reflect what the people actually want how the president and congress can say or think that implementation of the health care bill will be revenue neutral let alone show a cost savings over time is beyond belief when has anything the federal government has done been cost effective the postal service veteran s affairs medicaid medicare cash for clunkers cash for caulkers stimulus 1 stimulus 2 if the federal government hasn t been able to eliminate fraud from medicare and medicaid why would we think they could remove it from an even larger health care system they can t and they won t call email and or write to your congressman or senator and demand they go back and start over and fix what s broken with the health care system and leave the rest alone and let private industry do what it does best submitted for publication to owosso independent lainsgburg independent perry independent st johns dewitt independent dewitt bath review to the clinton county news on march 2 2010 published in the dewitt bath review on 372010
