Wake up America! Stop running on emotions!

Let me start by saying, I am a Veteran fifty yrs.old living on SSI trying to do my best to enhance my own finances. I am bombarded with invitations from AARP & other senior citizens programs which is fine except, I don't feel like a senior. OK. I am bothered by all the unbridled anger towards this health care initiative mainly fueled by for the most part seniors . With all the signs & slogans about government staying out of health care well hello! Medicare & Medicaid are government sponsored programs. If it were not for the so-called government sponsored programs those people wouldn't have anything like descent health care. besides most of them have lived their lives ,things were different way back when and lets face it, most people in my generation and yours are reluctant to change however; This really isn't about us, it's about the future of our health care system and how it will effect our children and our children's children. I know that people tend to let their emotions get the best of them, sometime we just need to take a step back! relax, relate and release. Get the facts about the entire proposal, which by the way has not been finalized in this process yet, it is still being tweaked. You can't move into a house that has not been built, so why condemn an entire proposal before it is finalized! Don't be a pond in this chess game of special interest, and other groups who's main focus is to halt this process by any means necessary. You have only herd bits & pieces of this initiative, I say wait for the final proposal, read it understand it and then voice opposition if their still is opposition. Talk to someone that has no or can't afford health care. talk to someone who has lost everything because of a love one getting ill. A wise man once said" A man can never reach new horizons unless he first looses sight of the shores"! Stop allowing yourselves to be angered into a mob's mentality by all of these naysayers, and understand that change and progress is a never ending evolution which cannot be stop. I"m just saying.
