Here's to Your Health!

Recently the House of Representatives passed its heathcare reform bill with a vote of 220-215. There are many people who fear that this is the beginning of other government takeovers that could possibly threaten the freedoms we enjoy everyday. My question to the critics is, "Do you have a better solution? If so, then speak up!" As our President so gracefully entered into a shambled economy with hopes of trying to create solutions to the problem, our job as U.S citizens is to help and not hinder. I am very thankful that he is at least attempting to ensure that quality healthcare is available to everyone. I do not agree with all the methodologies by which this is being accomplished, such as increasing taxes to the wealthy but unless I have a better answer, I will not be a stumblingblock. According to statistical information, smaller countries are fairing much better than we are with healthcare, education and other human resources while paying as much as 50% taxes! The irony of it all, we gave them the idea.
