Why even professionals need health care reform
An article on a local blog finally explained far better than I could why I'm so eager for Health Care reform.
While I technically have health insurance, I have an individual policy which is hardly any insurance at all.
What that means is so well put in this article, it could have been written about me. The last paragraph is also me: sometimes I think about taking the money I spend for insurance that never gives me any tangible benefits and just spending it on all the preventive care I know I should have but am postponing due to out of pocket cost.
If you can relate, please consider recommending this post. It might help others to understand and then to articulate what's happening to us. It's hard to knock on doors and lobby your neighbors when you're not sure how to talk about the problem. I know my next stop is to once again lobby my senators for the public option rather than a solution that creates more individual policies.
