Stop the Lies About Health Care Reform

Sponsored by: Care2

We are finally on our way to health care reform but opponents of the President's plan are making ridiculous claims and using scare tactics to throw us off track. They have even tried to convince Americans that the reform proposal will create death panels that decide the fates of sick or elderly -- it's simply not true, and completely absurd.

Special interest groups who have a stake in the current system are doing everything they can to mislead Americans. This is not the time for public hostility. The health of the American people is on the line and we need to fix our ineffective health care system before it's too late.

That's why we need to ensure that our fellow Americans understand the truth about health care reform. Pledge not to fall for the lies and spread the truth to five friends. Here are the facts about health care reform:

1. It will improve access to quality care, lower costs and leave decisions about your health up to you and your doctor. Seniors will actually have more control over their end-of-life care.

2. If you don't have health insurance, you will have quality, affordable options and if you do have health insurance, no insurance company or government bureaucrat will block you from the care that you need. If you like what you have, you can keep it!

3. Health care reform will NOT ration care. It will end rationing by big insurance companies and people with pre-existing conditions will longer no be denied coverage.
  
Opponents to Obama's health care plan are taking extreme measures to mislead Americans, egg protesters on, and scare people away from health care reform. Instead, we need a dialogue that will address everyone's concerns and get the facts straight.

The truth is that health care reform will empower you to make important choices about your health. Pledge to dispel the lies and spread the truth about health care reform to five friends!

It's time for Democrats in Congress to start working for those who voted for them and not cower before the Republicans. To hell with bi-partisanism, GET THE JOB DONE YOU WERE PUT THERE TO DO!

As always and once again the Rep.Party will stop at nothing to make change for the better i listened to president obamas state of the union and remember fellow americans being a president is not an easy task i dont think he rest well at night but ignorance is bliss and the american people expect more ofhim than they do of themselves typical...there is no perfect solution of course there will be problems along the way however there must be a change in the health care system and fast not 20,30,40 yrs down the road...again greed gets in the way...so much easier to let the companies making the drugs that merely have us hanging by a thread and possibly doing more harm than good make the money...much easier to avoid the inevitable....

As long as insurance companies are allowed to manage health care it will continue being damaged care... When it comes to ones health only the patient and doctor of their choice should be afforded any rights.. The patient's rights and choices come before anyone else, including medical professionals. America's leaders who cannot seem to put together a plan that works for the patient, first and foremost, would be better called obstructionist who could care less about the health and wellbeing of others that they have promised to serve..But these very same legislators have made sure they got their taste and what a big piece of the pie they have afforded themselves.. Doctors and nurses cannot do the work of healing when those who know nothing about health call all the shots!

Whenever I meet with someone stupid and ignorant enough to actually spread these lies, I really put them in their place! I corner them and make it so they can't get away until I am done with them, and I personally cut them down and tell them how ignorant and STUPID they are to follow the politicians and pundits who also deliberately spread these lies. I love to make it very personal, and insult the hell out of them for being so STUPID, and if I catch them continuing to spread those lies, they will be sorry, and might not live long enough to even regret it.

We have decades of global examples studied to improve upon and implement in this great capable country. The only thing in our way are the gouging profiteering corporatists and those that believe their lies!
