PrintHealth care costs have skyrocketed and people everywhere are worried that they are just one illness away from financial ruin. Our country is facing a health care crisis — and we need our Congressional leaders to meet that challenge head on. I am asking Congressman Blaine Luetkemeyer to do his part to make health care reform in this country a reality.
I'm glad that efforts like Divided We Fail are urging Congress to focus on affordable, quality health care and lifetime economic security for all Americans. In these tough economic times, our broken health care and financial systems are hurting too many families and businesses. We need solutions now.
As voters, we must take a stand and demand action from our politicians. I know Divided We Fail is bringing that message to Washington, D.C., this week — delivering more than 1 million pledge cards to Congress. Now is not the time for partisan bickering — it is time to work together and find solutions to our nation's health care crisis, and I hope that Congressman Luetkemeyer does his part in our nation's capital.

Only a naïf would look to the government to provide "affordable, quality health care and lifetime economic security." Look at how the feds have screwed up Social Security, Fannie and Freddie. Why on earth would you want them to have even more control over your life?
We also must demand from our politicians new cars and flat screen TVs. And while they're at it - I also want a GI Joe with Kung Fu grip...
On an issue like this, I actually want to see partisan bickering. I would expect conservatives to fight any and all give-away issues without fear. Jim makes a great point; where do we stop?
OH NO!!! the evil socialists. Put a sock in it. Jim's stunning analysis just further illustrates the ignorance that the right wing has. How can you compare health care with a big screen TV? Your clever posts apparently it satisfied the mindless "Bill O' Reilly" types on these boards.
Just more of the same liberal claptrap of "shut your mouth cuz' you don't agree with me." It still doesn't address the issue of how far we go with this mindless drivel of continual give-aways.
Folks,
I think we can debate the merits of this topic and still be polite to each other. Let's at least try, please. Thank you.
