More thoughts on healthcare...

Today I was listening with half an ear to the news. Again, healthcare was the topic. The democrats were divided, those on the left debating with those who were more moderate.
I was surprised to hear that, I think it was the Washington Post, did a poll and reported that over 60% of the people want a "public option". Supposedly all the other polls, Gallup, Rasmussen and other public poles say it is more like 48% to 46%, for and against and as we draw closer to finalizing this Healthcare thing, it is even lower.
The thing that we can all agree on is that there is a need for a change in the healthcare system...but it has to be one that really is better! Not a change just for change sake. That is the best thing about all the discussion going on. We might actually figure out a solution so that everybody has medical care, we won't put the country under with all the expense, and seniors, handicapped and other more needy groups won't be marginalized or exploited.
So, I guess that means we all need to pay attention, consider the plans that are being discussed and decide what we think will work best. And then we need to make our conclusions be known.
If we say and do nothing, we will have given up our right to complain about the outcome!
