One More Thing

I just read something interesting about how Appleton, WI is handling healthcare that the current debate should take into account. They apparently, have a pretty good system. Improving healthcare is a good thing ...... always.

But - the argument going on for government run healthcare for the poor is just plain not a viable one since the poor already get free healthcare. They can visit the doctor and get medical attention when the rest of us have to consider the cost and whether we can afford it.

We should only identify the actual healthcare problems and address those.

People from all parties are concerned about the government health care proposal at those town hall meetings. And to hear that their representatives hadn't even read the enormous bill but were told it was important to hurry up and pass it - (like the stimulus) - is appalling. To claim that those town hall people are organized by big insurance companies or whoever is almost funny - and insulting. It doesn't take a master's degree (or even a high school diploma) to know the wisdom of reading something before you sign it!

Glen Beck is a good source of information... and he has an interesting way of getting the point across. :-) Listen on foxnews.com. He's good ... whether you agree with what he says or not.
