For this week the topic in the headlines– health care reform.

For those of us who worry what might happen should we get sick, and really bad– health care reform and what that means continues to be on our mind.

Health care reform, and finding a solution for approximately 45.7 million uninsured, is urgent.

President Obama during the campaign promised to address this issue; and just about six months into his presidency he’s moved boldly to address it . But in the long run will this mean anthing?

Will those who oppose any type of ‘reform’ succeed at keeping the dialogue so negative that nothing gets done in Congress? As voters all of that is in our hands. How will we proceed?

Consequently the questions are: should healthcare be a right or a priviledge? Does the private insurance coverage that you have– give you the confidence that quality and access that is affordable will always be at your finger tips?

Most have not had that experience– and believe increasingly, given the high cost associated with health care– that possibility disappears.

Now, its your turn to chime in. Join the conversation. But a year from now would anything have changed?
