Health Care Reform Might Just Be a GOOD idea

Attached is a thoughtful, well-reasoned article by a Nobel prize-winning economist. It addresses the myths being perpetrated by those opposed to reform, and provides a truthful look at why even the current diluted health care reform bill would benefit America. health care reform article

I am the face of those who will benefit from health care reform, because I am one of the millions of self-employed who finally had to bow out of health care insurance due to the exorbitant premium increases. I am healthy, thank goodness, but what of my fellow Americans who are not so lucky?

The Coffee Party

At long last, an organized and thoughtful gathering of Americans to talk civilly about the issues facing us all. To push our dysfunctional Congress back onto a productive path. To give us a voice.

The Coffee Party was born on Facebook just a few weeks ago, and already boasts over 100,000 fans. People are organizing meetings at coffee houses. This is a gathering of the left, right and middle - all together to talk openly and rationally about politics.

What an amazing concept - people of differing perspectives actually TALKING TO one another rather than SHOUTING AT one another. Join the Party!
