I know this website is supposed to be about cats but I think this issue is important enough to post about it here anyway. This is President Obama's great speech on health care and I definitely recommend you watch it. He really clears up the truth of what health care reform is all about and what goals it seeks to accomplish:



Health Care Reform is largely about stopping the health insurance companies from ripping people off. It's about making it illegal for health insurance companies to discriminate against people based on "pre-existing conditions." It's about making it illegal for insurance companies to drop coverage from those who are sick. And it's about lowering health care costs so everyone can afford health care coverage.

So who's against this exactly? Who is spreading all of the "scary" lies about health care reform? Those who have something to gain from it not being passed. The Republican Party (who simply wishes to win a political victory even if it costs the people of this nation dearly) and of course the health insurance companies (who want to keep making money by denying care to those need it most.)

Please do your part to help support health care reform. This issue is too important to sit back and let ignorant insane "tea baggers" ruin it for everyone. Go to HealthCareForAmericaNow.org and see what you can do to help.
