AARP and Health Care Reform
Click on the title to see the message. AARP has provided a fact sheet on the Myths vs. Facts of the Health Care Reform Package. Check it out!
Town Hall Meeting - Lebanon, Pa
Up in arms and getting violent, the people in Lebanon are voicing their opinions of Health Care Reform. Uncalled for - violence is not the way to get the point across. Impeachment or recall is an alternative - if your representative is not representing the people - get them out.
I understood them to say that invitations were sent to potential participants in the Town Hall Meetings. Why? Shouldn't the meetings be open to all interested citizens? How do they decide who should be invited? What is the criteria a citizen must meet in order to be asked to participate? Are these staged Town Hall Meetings?
Language of the law - Can we understand the verbiage of the laws and bills presented for vote? The representative in this morning's meeting admitted he had a staff of 10 reading and interpreting for him. Why would a piece of legislation be written in such a way that either by the language or the length of the legislation that an individual would need assistance in the reading? Should so much legalise be used when the common man is expected to comprehend the letter of the law? Remember, ignorance is no excuse!
As with the Health Care Reform, I have a lot of questions surrounding these meetings. Keep in touch! What do you think?
