Everyone in the United States of America will benefit from health care reform, except the wealthy insurance conglomeration, if it is done properly. Unfortunately, the current bill now passed will benefit that rich insurance conglomeration and pharmaceutical companies.

Too many loopholes and language have been added to really make the new health legislation so beneficial to the public as it should be. Watered down by drivel inspired by the insurance conglomerate with misguidance and lies, one must wonder if our elected representatives actually believe such fabrications, or just looking for the corporate donations for the next elections.

The health reform as it now stands is a shame and not in the best interest of the people. It is, however, a “foot in the door” if the distractors, both Democrat and Republican don't destroy it in the near future.

So many lies and deceptions sadly misguiding the people of this country. Lies promoted by a media now sold and bought, lacking the very objectivity that once made the media in this country great. We might have a bit of a recap, lest we forget any truth.

Single payer health insurance is the best way to go. Unfortunately, the insurance conglomeration is too much a source of wealth in this country. An immediate change to single payer would be devastating to the economy, this change must come slowly.

The silly idea that health care reform creates a Socialist Nation. The founding fathers created the most innovative governmental system in history. In doing this, they chose the best principles of many different governing systems and combined them. Socialist government is no exception. In fact, “...endowed with certain inalienable rights”, is a socialist ideal.

A Social program does not make a Socialist government. Proof of this is in those countries that have single payer health care.

Who is going to pay for health reform? If the reform is single payer, it is no different that fica on a persons paycheck. The individual household savings on private insurance payments would more than pay for this and leave money in the pocket of the individual household.

Private health insurances with HMO's etc, cost many lives in the United States. For every child who is accepted at the first hospital visited and dies, five children who are transported from the first hospital to an “in network” hospital will die.

The health care reform as passed will surely do many good things but it is far below what should be to benefit the public.

Hopefully, the grassroots movement of the past election will have a place to, again, congeal and come together. Comprised of members from the two big Political Parties, the Democrats and Republicans as well as the other political movements.

This fascinating and totally American grassroots organization acted as more than viable third major Political Party in and of itself. Being truly, in and of itself, a “bipartisan” party in the best sense of the word. For health care reform to continue growth, this “grassroots” party needs to resurface and everyone in the United States of America will benefit.
