A little help here

Can anyone explain to me why, with the history of the Veterans Administration, Medicare, Medicaid, and the US Postal Service, we should believe that the government is going to be able to do a viable job with health care? Seriously, we know that Medicare, Medicaid and the Postal Service are all incapable of meeting the needs of those they serve at a viable price point. The Veteran's Administration, to include the hospitals, is filled with all kinds of questionable service practices. I really just don't understand how anyone who can add 1 and 1 to get 2 would believe that the government can help.

Then we have the President's town hall meeting yesterday. The young lady who asked why people are saying bad things about health care reform is one interesting point. I won't say that she was a set up, I will say that it has been reported that her mother did campaign for the President last year, that her mother was a senior member of Massachusetts Women for Obama, and that her mother donated to the campaign. Then we have the AARP question. Mr. Obama made a point of saying that they were on board with the plan. According to the AARP site that isn't quite the case. Part of their statement reads "While the President was correct that AARP will not endorse a health care reform bill that would reduce Medicare benefits, indications that we have endorsed any of the major health care reform bills currently under consideration in Congress are inaccurate."

I am ever so glad to know that it is only those that are against the bill that are circulating "rumors" about health care reform. I would also like to remind everyone that they should take the time to actually read HR 3200, the only bill that has moved through any of the committees in congress. Do not take my word for anything, do not take the media's word for anything, read the bill yourself and make up your mind. I know that it scares me.
