To my congressmen and senators in Tennessee: In our country you only get as much healthcare as you can afford. My grandmother would still be living if she had received better care. She was booted from a rehabilitation hospital when her coverage ran out. She went home and her condition gradually worsened until she had to be readmitted to a regular hospital and soon died. Please support the Presidents plan to overhaul the healthcare system. I know you may think it is popular to oppose the President in our state but think about this. The people of America (ie " The Government") can run the finest mitilary in the world to protect us from foreign threats. We (ie " The Government") build highways and bridges for which we all share the financial burden and freedom of use. Shouldn't something as important as healthcare be a basic right to ALL who contribute to this great society? Many times more poeple in America die from health related issues than do from terrorists or foreign invaders. We (ie " The Government") can run the finest healthcare system in the world if we treat healthcare as if it is as important as a prepared military or good roads we use because healthcare is that important. Lets help get doctors out of the insurance claim submission business and back to the exam room.
