Health Care Reform, part 1: The Problem

As our government considers a serious overhaul of our health care system and even a public insurance plan, it is essential that the public understands how more government involvement will impact accessibility, affordability, and quality. Under the direction of Dr. Roger Stark, a retired surgeon with over thirty years of medical experience, Washington Policy Center has launched its 2009 Federal Health Care Reform Project. As part of this project, WPC created these three short, informative health care videos detailing the current state of health care in the U.S., Congress proposed reforms, and practical solutions to the health care crisis. Health care reform is far too important of an issue to be settled outside of the public light. Please forward these videos to your friends and all those who are interested in true health care reform. Consider embedding/linking these videos on your website. We must keep patients in charge of their own health care!

I can honestly say that I voted for Obama and since he is our president now I support him as such. However I do like to look at both sides of the coin. At first I was enamored by his speeches and such but I realized that the reason I supported him was because I believed him to be more honest than others. The video was informative and I will keep looking at other sources in order to uncover the facts about reform and what it means to this nation and its people.

We have(or shall we say, 'had') the best health care in the world. Federal law demands that regardless of the ability to pay, you WILL be treated for emergency care(that's what matters the most). As long as that law remains in the books, this 24-year-old man has nothing to worry about.

This is so true, I wish people would get it instead of being so turned on to the idea of not being republican, or whatever is pushing people to be stupid

I love how this video has facts and actual possibilities for the outcome of health care reform, yet nobody comes to comment. The only videos getting attention are the ones that simply criticize those who do not agree 100% with whatever Obama has said on TV. That is not right for America. They do not have actual facts and listen to whatever some man on tv tells them. We are all in trouble!
