We all need health reform

Published on Friday, Nov 27, 2009 at 12:12 pm | Last updated on Friday, Nov 27, 2009 at 12:12 pm 6 Comments

Why should I care about health care reform? I have health insurance. However, I can count on my rates to increase annually, I can count on my daughters being dropped from my policy as they age, and I can count on small businesses being unable to grow and provide coverage for employees.

The current system in Maine limits competition between insurance companies so that we can all count on not getting the best rates available. The people of this state can't afford to not care about this issue. Small businesses are our future and our children should have job opportunities with health care benefits.

We all should applaud when our government representatives take a stand to improve our lives and we should encourage them to continue the fight to make Maine a better place to live and work.

The democrats are not

The democrats are not concerned about lowering health care cost. If they were they would be bringing real change as in stopping these ridiculous junk law suits that are driving up health care cost. We should also be able to shop for health insurance as easy as we do for auto insurance. Government can't run anything right!!!!!!!

We should be able to cross

We should be able to cross state lines and shop for insurance. It's all the other crap in this plan that makes it doomed to failure....
