EDITOR:
As a registered nurse I have been a long-time and assertive advocate for the protection of the health, safety and quality of life of American families. I have worked steadfastly for equal access to needed health services and I have spent years researching, identifying and seeking reforms that will reduce and eliminate health hazards as well as ensure health protection. Especially for those most at risk; the young, families and senior citizens who are least able to afford and overcome threats to their quality of life. We are closer now than ever to enacting comprehensive reform. Reform that puts people before profit. An unprecedented coalition of doctors and nurses and a huge percentage of the American people are behind President Obama’s plan. We have not been misled by the rhetoric and misinformation because we KNOW the truth; gained through experience, training and research. Tens of millions of Americans have no health insurance, living one accident or illness away from total health, financial disaster and possibly death. Hundreds of millions of Americans who have insurance live with the constant worry that they might lose it, lose their jobs or that their insurance company might cancel their plan when they get sick.
President Obama’s plan strives to make insurance work better by holding the insurance industry accountable. Under the president’s plan, it will be against the law for insurance companies to:
X Deny coverage based on a pre-existing condition.
X Drop or weaken coverage when you get sick.
X Place caps on the amount of coverage you can receive in a given year or a lifetime.
It’s time to finish the job and pass real reform. It’s time to ensure the protection of America’s greatest resource; it’s people. The young who are just beginning their lives and the older Americans who deserve to age with dignity.

Consider this do you really want to start messing with 1/6 of our economy right now?
Harry Reid went on camera and told people it is closer to 2 trillion dollars to do this?
And just ask these questions to your self, and think for a moment Torte Reform? Opening up insurance companies to the free market. like auto insurance companies have done.
Then remember the company out there with the highest "we are not going to do that procedure" is medicare at almost 7%
. So if you want that number to improve keep supporting Nobama.
NobeLOL sure was not in economics.
ProMerkin....."Deny coverage on pre-existing conditions."
"Drop or dent coverage when you are sick."
"Place caps of the amount of coverage you can receive in a given year or lifetime."
The three conditions you are afraid of from the government already exist and are enforced by the insurance companies. The government plan will eliminate these unfair practices of the insurance companies. You should really try and get some help with your compulsive lying problem.
You also complain about the post office. When you send a letter or small package across town or across the country do you use the post office or UPS or FedX or what? I use the post office and have never had a problem.
Although i believe that the insurance companies put the screws to us the government getting involved in ay business is a cause for concern. Nothing the government has ever gotten invloved has ever turned a profit and just look at Medicare its about to go bankrupt. We don't want or need government intrusion into our lives.
