The Public Option
I support healthcare reform that includes a public option. Here's former US Secretary of Labor, author, political commentator and professor Robert Reich with an excellent explanation about what the public option in healthcare reform is . . . and isn't.
I'd also like to invite you to become one of 100,000 voices for healthcare reform. The UCC hopes, before Sept. 18, to send 100,000 messages to Congress and deliver a huge book of 100,000 names to the Democratic and Republican leadership in Congress. We've had a great start, but there's a long way to go!
Our faith teaches us that health care is a both a human need and a human right. Offering comfort to the broken, sick and injured was foundational to Jesus’ ministry and is central to our serving the least among us. Our nation deserves a health care system that is inclusive, accessible, affordable and accountable.
I've signed. Will you?

Unconscionable
Lay the rhetoric aside. Forget the fact that it will sweep many "no" voters out of office at the next opportunity.
Millions of uninsured children just got slapped in the face by a bunch of adults who should know better.

Let's shift it into override
President Bush has made a horrible mistake.
Our President's veto of the expanded SCHIP program feels like a huge "up yours" from the White House to 9 million uninsured children in the United States
President Bush's reasons?
"Poor kids first."
President Bush thinks that SCHIP puts rich kids first? The Children's Defense Fund, an advocate for children's rights, completely disagrees. President Bush is simply wrong.
"I happen to believe that what you're seeing when you expand eligibility for federal programs is the desire by some in Washington, D.C. to federalize health care"
President Bush favors private healthcare and medical savings accounts. I guess he also thinks that government-backed program to insure children is a bad thing. He's wrong again.
I think that congress must override this veto. I'd also like to propose a new bill to take away healthcare coverage from anyone in congress who votes to sustain it. (But that's just me venting anger. . . )

It is too costly-- and is paid for by a tax on tobacco.
"too costly"?! I think we need to have a lesson in priorities, Mr. President."Poor kids first."
