I am in the middle of those who want something done about the gouging of Insurance companies, but am beginning to wonder about a Congress that has little guts except when they take money to stay in office.
They allow special interests to write the laws and that is the problem as I see it. As everyone knows I did not vote for Obama,but once he was elected I wanted him to succeed. He seems to be everywhere but where he should be. He really needs a touch of LBJ or FDR and I do not see that.
I am reading a letter right now concerning one company's attempts to grapple with Health Care costs. That is one of the major costs that is killing companies here.Many will say,"Oh,my company plan is great."Sure it is until you get laid off and then what do you do? I am one of the lucky ones, but see many who are not. That bothers me.
But I think Congress and the White house have given so much to those special interests the bill will not really fix anything.You can correct me if you think I am wrong. I would love to hear what those who want the status quo think.
I had not seen your post when I posted this.
