Truth

I do not want to appear to pick on one group or another, thats not my intention.  But today I heard the President say that, after all the promises about being able to keep our doctors, and current insurance, (Not to mention CSPAN, transparency, No lobbiests, no pork in the stimulus, Gitmo etc...), well here is the quote:

"We said from the start that it was going to be important for us to be consistent in saying to people ... 'You want to keep the health insurance you got, you can keep it,' that you're not going to have anybody getting in between you and your doctor in your decision making. And I think that some of the provisions that got snuck in might have violated that pledge."

Bush-Cheney, Clinton-Gore and Obama (Notice I don't include Biden).  I actually think Biden is pretty honest!  Can our leaders not tell the truth ever?  They obviously forgot that the people know how freaking read.  Anyone who has read the current reform bill has serious doubts about it.  From the IRS being the watch dog to the DMV being in charge of sign up.  For heavens sake, Pelosi really thinks prison for those not getting heath insurance is a good thing???  If you put them in prison, whos in charge of their health care then....Madam?  And republicans... tort reform is not the only answer.  Some doctors deserve to have the crap sued out of them!  I can name a couple!

It's too much, too fast, without input from the PEOPLE on what they think can be done to correct the current situation.  We ALL want some form of correction to the insurance system that is currently in place.  It needs a serious tune up!  But lets take our time, and do it right the first time, with input from the people, not just from those who will gain from the changes.  Be that gain power or money.   The people need to know the truth about what is in this and every bill. At this point, we can not trust our elected officials on either side of the aisle to give us the truth about anything.  Until we can trust those in office, they should be treated like a child with a lying problem.  Nod politely and investigate the facts.  We are tired of the lies, half truths and innuendo.  When will our voices be heard, damn you PEOPLE IN WASHINGTON DC, HEAR US!

I will now relinquish the soap box....
