Health Care Financing Reform


I don't remember who said it first, but it needs to be said again, and again. And again. It's NOT Healthcare that needs to be reformed. What needs to be reformed is the Financing of Healthcare.

Every complaint about the dangers of government involvement in the Financing of Healthcare is a problem in our currently system. Money is paid to insurance companies, and Insurance Companies DECIDE how to use those funds. Does anyone seriously believe that the highest priority of Insurance companies is the well being of patients. Do insurance companies ration care and get in between doctors and patients? What service do the insurance companies provide? What value is added by the role of insurance companies? How can the citizens of America spend our healthcare dollars more efficiently? Do we deserve more for what we are spending? We need real reform in the Financing of Healthcare.

She was impressive early into the speech. Then it got so much better. Then it went directly to the heart of the matter and really implored ALL of her supporters to get behind Obama, backed up well with good reasons, great examples, and more. Then it got better. ... She ended with (from memory) "My mother was born before women had the right to vote, and my daughter cast a vote for her mother for president." Rough Quote. The speech was so good that some of us (temporarily) forgot the impressive show that came before. Dennis Kucinich! The Women (so many) senators! Could it have been any better?
