Who is the most important person in health care reform: YOU!

You should not be surprised that YOU are the most important person in the debate on health care reform. However, I am also one of the most important persons, along with my neighbors, the persons with whom I work, the students in my children's schools and their parents, teachers and professors, the individuals who go to work to earn a living, the people who cannot work, the brave persons who fight for our country abroad and the people who should be appreciated for protecting us and providing services to us in our home towns. We are all the persons who could due to one quick and unexpected mishap or as a result of illness become patients requiring medical care from medical providers whom we hope are skilled, concerned, experienced and unimpaired in any manner. While the insurance companies and other big business interests, and those that represent them such as the Chamber of Commerce and other interest groups are definitely voices in the debate, they seem to be focused more on profits than people. We need to let our legislators know that WE are the most important persons in the debate on health care reform; many of them do not seem to understand that truth. Please click on the purple link to watch the following video of Congressman Bruce Brawley of Iowa as he discusses "the most critical aspect of true medical health care reform" which is STANDING UP FOR PATIENTS!
