The battle is between major insurance corporations and the government. Major insurance industries are spending a record pace. The OFA reports:
“Sure enough, the insurance industry is already stepping up the attack: Reports just leaked from a closed-door meeting where insurance industry lobbyists frantically warned Republican members of Congress that it was not in their interest to "ever vote for this thing" and said supporting reform is like "giving comfort to the enemy." USA Today is reporting that groups opposing reform are lobbying at "a record pace" -- and the Associated Press notes that they've already spent an astounding $32 million on TV ads this year.”
The question is who does the congressman and senator represents “The People” or they themselves are the lobbyists for the insurance industry? Let’s not forget this is an American issue, and both parties have taken substantial campaign contribution from the insurance industry. So it’s no surprise that in an upcoming election year the insurance industry would remind our representatives who has been buttering their bread.
We as American must remind our congressman and senators we are “The People” and will not accept this and vote against any representative that does not protect America, and place us first above party and special interest.
We also must remind the president if he wants all Americans help to making health reform a reality he must consider other options. The health care reform reads as an insurance policy favoring one type of insurance over the others. It’s time to consider a community option and catastrophic policies which cost a fraction of what is proposed and covers everyone.
So we need to send a loud message to those representatives who vow to do the right thing for America, show us. America is tired of empty promises. Every elected official going forward should agree to sign a contract with “The People”, perform or resign and accept no contribution from lobbyist going forward in these coming elections and let get our country back.
