The country is so polarized on just about every issue and health care is no exception. A year passed and Obama’s Administration devised a plan that some like and some despise. The opponents of the president’s plan call for starting the process all over; forget what’s been discussed so far. The supporters of his plan are calling for pushing through health care reform without kowtowing to the Republican opposition. There is no other solution that can overcome the political polarization that exists in the USA today.
The American Public signs a petition demanding that people in hte general population get the same health insurance coverage and premiums that the members of the US Congress presently enjoy. If it is good enough for Congress persons, it should be good enough for the people who elect them.
Alternatively, we could also petition that Congressional representatives receive no special coverage from the US Government and have to shop for health insurance coverage like their constituents.
How about starting a national campaign to gather signatures on a petition to send to Congress, Senators and Representatives alike.
