Supporting something I care deeply about

Last night was the first time I saw a "scare tactic" commercial regarding health care reform. It made me laugh because the things it said would happen were so incredibly ridiculous!! So I am passing along a link to the white house's video page regarding the reform that Obama wants to seeI am/was one of the nearly fifty million people in the US

Oh, tell me about it. I started hearing this awhile ago from my grandma, then later from another friend (who believes it) - unfortunately with those two, there is no way humanly possible to make them listen to reason - but this morning I did see our local tv station hold an interview with someone talking sense about the health care reform, explaining that in the short term (1 year) it might cost insurance companies more, but over the long term it would save them a whole bunch (he gave an estimate the insurance companies give that preventative care saves a dollar for every three later, though I would say, prolly more, and you live). He talked about other stuff too... While I was happy that they were bringing forward a voice for reason (rather needed here in super conservative central), I kinda wished he'd had more coffee, since he was sorta sitting there like a lump...
Have only just come out of having no insurance, and I shudder each time I hear someone ask why we need to fix the 'best health care in the world' (to which the flippant side of me wants to ask them what we are doing trying to change Sweden's health care, when I thought it was Iraq and Afghanistan we were supposed to helping...)

*ded* I think you should answer out loud next time, just to see their face.
