Turning up the H – E – A – T!

Congressional Health Care Reform proposals and counter proposals are getting heated debate and urgent calls for passage or rejection. Some erudite observers call for patience, a wait-and-see attitude. Let Congress come up with a final proposal, then see if it’s workable, they beseech. Why wait till Congress figures out how to put Americans into further uncertainty and likelihood of inestimable deeper debt? No proposal has yet to offer less cost, even though every proposal is supposed to be about better health quality, easier health care access, and lower health care cost. Cost saving predictions are purely theoretical, entirely dependent on reform working as reform writers presume.

There is scant agreement on ‘better’ care quality or easing access to care. Even more-or-less stauch reform supporters are caught up in political in-fighting and jockeying for control. “We, the People” should not go complacently about other business and expect Congress to fix health care. Are or are not “We, the People” capable of picking our doctors and our health care plans without Congress holding our hands? We’re better off turning up heat on Congress to get its nose out of our health care management.
