White House offers information on proposes health care reform

http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/Facts...ubborn-Things/

Halfway down the page:

There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov.

Hmm. Stalinist Russia, anyone?

Also, try redstate.com for another view on the health care situation.

Thank you.
The White House wanted to know what was being said on radio and TV as well as web sites and e-mail chain letters so they could respond.
This page is the result.

I've been to redstate.com many times and you can find interesting opinions, editorial cartoons and discussions there. But I don't find it a good resource for credible facts IMHO.

Got the same letter. They forgot to mention I would pay more and Non-Americans would be covered and ----------- I just do not trust this administration.

I think it's so cute that the Right is so righteously indignant over this, the WH's attempt to address misinformation being circulated about the healthcare reform proposals, as a fascist attempt to spy on Americans, when it is a drop in the ocean compared to the widespread, illegal monitoring of telephone calls and e-mails carried out by the Shrub administration. I don't recall anyone on the Right getting whipped into a frenzy over how evil and fascist that was ...

Yes, please do check it out. You owe it to yourself to know first hand or be informed , so you do not get distracted w/ the other claim or propaganda from the opposing parties or entities.
But I sure would like to share my opinion , so please bear w/ me and hear me. Actually this is a reply from my daughter Robin and she voiced it so well that I would like to share it .
Qoute....
I'd like to add that we already have "socialism" here. Our fire department and police are government run. Could you imagine if fires and crime were a for-profit industry? If they wouldn't send a firetruck to your burning home because you couldn't afford it? Or the police wouldn't come when you called 911 because there was nothing in it for them? What a mess that would be! Now, just for a moment, think about how insidious it is to make illness a for-profit industry...for starters, capitalistic doctors are going against their oath if they don't help the sick because they can't afford it. Do we really want people like that in charge of our well being? Second, in the system we have now there is a huge percentage of service workers unable to attain healthcare. Did you know that there is a new outbreak of tuberculosis in this country? Do you realize that by denying people health care that the person making your salad in some restaurant might be coughing TB on your lettuce?

We live in a system now where if a loved one dies, the family is left in financial ruin. That is just plain wrong! Hospitals are closing down, and a huge percentage of people passing you on the street have no healthcare. This is indicative of a broken system. Why resist change? Anything would be better than this.

I suggest that some people watch "sicko", and then decide...

love to all.
