Health Care

Funding Health Care Reform has become a national disgrace. Our government has give billions of dollars to foreign countries including Israel, Egypt, Pakistan and others. Congress has squandered billions of dollars in pork barrel projects, Citizens Against Waste has issued a lengthy report listing dozens and dozens of areas where billions of dollars can be saved and yet Congress claims that Medicare cuts are necessary to fund Health Care Reform. We should write letters, send E-Mails and make phone calls to our Senators and members of the House of Representatives to erase waste and fund Health Care Reform that includes all citizens and not make cuts to Medicare.

In my book, For A Better America: Observations, Insights and A Plan For Action by a 95 Year Old American, I go into greater detail about my suggestions for reform.

Join me in the my efforts won't you?

Congress and Health Care

In my last blog, I stated we have a Congress with no conscience and no shame. Another example is the way Health Care Reform is being handled. Several Republican members of Congress voted for the plan offered by the Democrats and were severely criticized by the heads of the Republican party not for voting according to their conscience but because they voted " with the democrats". In other words members of Congress are expected to vote according to the wishes of the party they represent and not according to their own conscience. Also, according to a poll, more than 60 per cent of the people favored a public option, but it is not being considered by Congress. It is obvious that a Plan Health accepted will favor special interests so that at election time they will be a source of contributors to campaign funds.
We should all write letters, send E-Mails, make telephone calls to our members of Congress telling them that we do not want cuts to Medicare or tampering with Social Security and fund that we support a Health Care Plan that covers all of our people by reducing the billions of dollars the United States gives to foreign countries.
Citizens Against Government Waste, an advocacy group has an eight page report regarding
savings against wasteful spending.
With the reduction of moneys given to foreign countries and savings according to Citizens Against Government Waste we can afford Health Care for every American citizen.

Hello-

Good news I am excited to share with you my book is now available from Xlibris entitled For A Better America:Observations, Insights and a Plan for Action by a 95 Year Old American. I would be glad for your support to help bring about some much needed change.

Today what is on my mind is that it bothers me is Congress cannot reform the Health Plan and wants to cut aid to Medicare and does not cover many of our people because the cost is so high. My suggestion is to reduce the amount of money we give to Israel, Egypt, Pakistan and other countries and take care of our own people.

What are your thoughts?
