Will Both Sides Come Together to Fix Medicare?

Some of the individuals in this debate that continues to rage really have nothing to worry about on a personal level.  After all, they have the best healthcare coverage you can get and it comes with their position as a lawmaker.

Meanwhile, the rest of us are doing what we can to survive.  If we are fortunate enough to have insurance at all, often have to worry about whether they have enough coverage or if their insurance covers certain things and how much you have to pay for those things – especially if you end up at the emergency room trying to take care of one of your babies.

Not that lawmakers should be without healthcare.  It’s simply that it is time to stop trying to thwart the President, stop trying to stop any of the other parties and any of the other nonsense that they are constantly going through.  How many times have we seen and heard that “things should be settled soon” and everyone should be just fine with their coverage.

It is obvious that there are some people who have their agenda which is to make sure that the President fails.  The saddest part is that the President has some pretty good ideas – especially when it comes to balancing the budget and fixing the healthcare system.  He is not perfect, but he has a vision.    It seems that these individuals who want to thwart the President for their own personal reasons.

Therefore, instead of moving forward and settling this situation, they are unmovable and will not deal with individuals across the aisle.  All it would take would be some folks from both sides and the middle to actually, truly and honestly communicate  - not just talk over each other to make their point – but to help get this done well, done right, and finally, just done!

It’s time to get this done now.  We have all been waiting for years, and now we are into the end of the first year, which is enough time.  The people need help and cooperation to get this healthcare and Medicare situation taken care of, especially since the President has a few other things on his mind, like a few wars, the issues in Haiti not to mention a few issues regarding the people who happen to be the voters, as well.

Let’s hope that instead of trying to “one up” each other, lawmakers can actually get the more important things done, especially coming up with a fair healthcare and Medicare system that will help everyone in this country.  If they are smart enough to cover some basic and preventative issues in the bill – especially because this is one of the things that will help people stay healthy and stay out of the emergency room and the hospital in general.  Wow!  What a way to save money.  Help keep people stay healthier by making sure they have enough healthcare coverage to cover the smaller and preventative things so that there won’t end up becoming more expensive, larger, more serious – and more expensive – health issues.

Can we just get it together somehow and get it right – soon?
