Most of the people who are making such a fuss about the whole thing have no idea what they're talking about. They're afraid of the public option and "socialized" medicine. Just wait till they see what happens if we continue the status quo.Lesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17726995606953732736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4681367398133240562.post-49582819317920184732009-11-13T00:15:20.762-06:002009-11-13T00:15:20.762-06:00Yes Rae, they really do begrudge them coverage.

Does the Right really begrudge that small percent the right to coverage? I think people are confusing health care reform and the public option. They need to get informed before they criticize.Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858158707328118375noreply@blogger.com
