Dear Ms. Piety-- I really appreciated your thoughtful response to my blog posting. I share your outrage that corporate practices in denying people coverage without any real public or democratic accountability is far more troubling than what had been a well-intentioned bipartisan provision, initiated by Senator Isakson (R-GA), to ensure that family consultations with doctors about the most difficult decisions they will ever face would be covered by the reform plan. It's too bad it was subject to such misleading demagoguery by severely uninformed elected officials like Senator Grassley (R-IA) and the former Governor of Facebook, I mean Alaska. Alas, we all have a lot of work to do to have meaningful dialogues with one another that pierce through this fog of confusion and misinformation. Lisa
