Talking Points: Healthcare


ConnecticutMan1 has a terrific blog about the pending changes to our national healthcare.

You can find it here:

Being on the Left Coast and a night owl, it seems that my contributions at night go unnoticed due to the time differences.  I'm probably on my second paragraph while a lot of you are on your second REM.  [  It could be because I'm as poor a typist as I am an impatient editor of my posts, also. :-{)>  ]  At any rate, I was replying to CM1's post when I thought I would just get something going for the rest of you to consider, probably while I am in my last REMs tomorrow morning. 

This is Talking Points Memo and we should create our own talking points to repeat feverishly as the Right has done these past eight years.  When all is said and done poltics is a war of propaganda.  It irritates me that the Left has not responded to what the Right has done so successfully, until this last year when no amount of music could overshadow the stink that was the Bush Administration.  I mean, I thought we were the smart ones? 

 

Now is our chance.  As I replied to CM1, I believe the nation has an open mind at this moment.  Or at least there are more open minds now then there were for two years after 9/11.  Some minds have not opened and we know who they are.  Let's get into those open minds.  Comment with your own suggestions for what could go on a bumpersticker to support the need to provide healthcare more effectively and efficiently.  It needs to be obvious to the reader what we mean.  We can explain it all later, but we need their attention and something for them to interject when their conversations goes to healthcare.

Here's are some of mine: 

Private healthcare, their bottom line is NOT about my health.

Or, Healthcare should remove a tumor, not your savings.

Or, I want to see My Doctor, not Their Attorney.

Or, Why does Business tell Doctors what is Best?

Have at it!!!
