To vote against the Healthcare Reform bill is to vote against having 30 million people covered, for denying coverage for people (and children) with preexisting conditions, to be against helping small businesses buy insurance coverage, for helping to make health insurance more affordable and so many other reasons. Yes, there are some things in the bill that don't work well and are just down right bad for America (thanks to the conservative loons, the same people that called anyone who challenged the wisdom of going to war with Iraq and torturing detainees unpatriotic!).
We have a dysfunctional Senate and a system that is polluted, in many ways it is difficult to continue to call it a democracy. It is no longer a democracy of majority rule. We have allowed these bodies of government (in particular the Senate) to create a mockery of our democracy. Where the minority can block progress of governing and legislation. In some cases a minority of ONE! This is the most reprehensible thing about this group of government, when considered as a whole - they are arrogant, ego maniacal, out-of-touch, spoiled, adolesense whom really should not be in a position of leadership. They are anything but leaders. I hear over and over about, "this is just the way things get done". To that I say you are cowards not to do the right thing. Or at least work towards the right thing instead of continually allowing the "way things are" to be more perverted and corrupt. Stand up and do what is right for ALL of America! |
