Real Canadians Talking Real Health Care

Here’s a reality check about our neighbors to the north and what they actually think about their health care system (as well as ours.)

Health Care Reform or Insurance Reform?

Dan Roan has created a Health Care Napkins Slide Show that effectively summarizes the issues in the current debate raging about Health Care Reform.

To paraphrase a slogan from the Bill Clinton era, “It’s about insurance reform, stupid.”  Of course the insurance companies would not like us to see it that way.

That’s why we have the noise level being raised about other issues such as so-called “death panels,” abortions, government take-over of health care that really are not actually part of the proposals being considered.  The insurance industry and other special interests have been gearing up for this for a long time, and they have pulled out their usual bag of tricks to scare the American people.

We need more reasoned factual presentations such as this to clarify what is truly at stake.

Morality and Myths in Health Care Reform

Looking for clarity regarding Health Care Reform? Trying to sort through all the jabbertalk, distortions and mythology floating around the airwaves and cyberspace regarding illegal aliens and health care reform, death panels and health care reform, abortion and health care reform, defining the public option?

Here is how President Obama responded to health reform critics in his weekly address posted on Youtube: “Myths and Morality in the Health Care Reform Debate”

This is one of his most focused and determined responses so far, he was clearly fired up and passionate as he emphasized, “now was the moment!”

This is the type of leadership that has been missing up until now in this debate.
