Another Reason For Healthcare Reform...

It's quite simple, really. The number of uninsured people in the United States is growing in an extremely rapid pace. Simultaneously, the amount of public dollars available to keep these public hospitals going is on a decline like no other. These two factors don't match up favorably, and will lead to an unhealthier and more susceptible America. The first step - before restructuring and extra funding of public Hospitals - is getting GOOD health care reform legislation passed in Congress and signed by the President. This is an absolute must, and can not wait another year. Regardless of public perception of the current economic crisis (and its unyielding coverage by the media), health care lies upon us as a "bubble" just as large, ready to burst. Our public Hospitals are the foundations that keep health care in this country alive, and must stand strong. Allowing Universal Health Care will lead to public hospitals regaining their legs, and standing on their own two feet. The amount of families that loose their homes, declare bankruptcy, and essentially see their lives in "ruins" due to health care costs is tremendous. We can do this! We already spend the money needed - let's just get it right this time!
