The Health Care Heat is On, Pt.2 – Landmark reform.

There are still many in self-seeking power who could care less about the devastation of others. Even Mr. McCain asserted on patriotic views in a recent Parade interview entitled: A Cause Greater than Self-interest. In it, he states, “To love one’s country is to love one’s countrymen”. This concept should never be dismissed or misconstrued as mere rhetoric. It must be embraced as an essential American ideal. Mr. Obama’s interview was entitled Sacrifice for the Common good. In this he stated, “True patriotism also means a willingness to sacrifice for our common good.” So what do we do about the 45 million Americans with no health insurance? What do we do about the 25 million more Americans with inadequate health insurance, many of whom are worse off than those with no health insurance?

This is what’s at stake here. Will we unify for patriotic ideals like Mr. McCain’s Cause Greater than Self-interest -- “to love one’s countrymen?” Mr. Obama’s ideal “willingness to sacrifice for our common good?” It’s going to take strong unity to confront powerful people who don’t believe this way. It will require a very committed vision to resolve our rotting health insurance/care crises. Many visions will fail for unrelated reasons. Only a vision that is clear and unwavering in commitment can succeed. So here is one vision, Mr. Obama’s vision for universal health insurance/care to resolve the devastating woes of tens of millions of Americans. The economics are neither presumptive nor fuzzy. But they are confrontational. If successful, this aggressive vision will go down as one the most landmark reforms our nation has known.
