Where's the change we voted for?

Posted February 03, 2010 10:00 pm

Our country has been waiting a long time for health care reform. We voted for change and now are demanding it. The need for reform is so bad more people die from lack of health care than from most any other issue.

This is America, and if we can take care of the rest of the world then we can take care of our own. We must finish health care reform and start holding insurance companies accountable for making health care affordable for all American citizens and not illegal aliens.

We voted for change and now I expect my elected officials to deliver. It's sad when recently a 26-year-old with newly diagnosed asthma passed away from an asthma attack because he didn't have health care and couldn't afford an emergency room bill.
