The August congressional recess is on and if the reputable news sources are to be believed, many elected officials returning to their districts are likely to face some fairly rowdy folks. These folks are rowdy over the proposed health-care reform that is making its way through both the House and Senate in various forms. Again, if reputable news sources are to be believed, most Americans want some health-care reform to become the law of the land.
The rowdy folks appear to be supported and encouraged ("directed" may be too strong a word, but maybe not) by the segments of the current health-care system who figure to suffer the most financially if reform is passed.
I don't have all the necessary facts to make a clear call here, but I do hope that calmer voices prevail and more rational debate can take place so that necessary reform can be legislated. This great country ought to be able and willing to extend health-care to all its citizens.
