No proof, Muncie. I can't even remember where I heard the report. It didn't surprise me when I did hear it.
But the last paragraph
WAS the most important, as you noted.
I wouldn't go to a meeting held by Ginny Brown-Waite on this subject if she held one at Lake Sumter Landing, 10 minutes from my house. I "did my thing" by sending her and the two Senators an e-mail with my feelings on the needed healthcare reform. I know that my comments will be "check marked" on some report of constituent contacts, which is probably better than you could in communicating your feelings than at an unruly town hall meeting.
By the way, here were the items I listed as important to me in any healthcare reform legislation...
- Medical tort reform
- No reduction in Medicare funding
- Healthcare for 100% of American citizens
- No healthcare paid for or required from hospital ER's for anyone without citizenship documentation.
- A "government-provided" insurance option
