Put On the Brakes!

The recent Newsweek published an article by T.R. Reid entitled “No Country for Sick Men” in which he said that a nation’s health care system is a reflection of its basic cultural values. One of our nation’s basic cultural values is the expectation that in our representative government we all have a voice. One of President Obama’s biggest problems selling his health care initiative is that so many of us feel run over by the incredible speed with which he is trying to get this sweeping, change-life-as-we-know-it legistlation written and passed. Even with the midterms looming in a year, can’t he at least honor the qualms so many of us feel and put the brakes on for a few months? We don’t feel heard; therefore, we don’t feel respected.
