Your comments on fake protesters are way off base. I am one of those Americans (with no group affiliation) frustrated by a "reform" package that does little to reduce costs and turns health care over to one of the most inefficient organizations (fed gov't). Check out their track records on social security - underfunded and inefficient, medicare - same, post office -broke and inefficient, border control - are you kidding? I'm for reform, just more sensible policies like: 1. real tort reform to reduce the huge cost of defensive medicine 2. Cut the cord and give individual control of their own insurance - don't link it to employment. Tax changes could easily do this. 3. Allow cross state competition. 4. encourage more "first $" competition on payments for services - this will change the way health care is purchased and put more accountability in the hands of consumerts. 5. Yes we need a way to pay for the millions of uninsured - but we can do that through expanding current programs and providing coverage for the poor. Do this and health care improves and instead of having a govenment run disaster, we have some real reform and actual cost savings. signed - an American with a much better solution!
