I would like a description of just what is meant by "Health Care Reform". Reform means to reshape, alter re-make. Is this just a catchy phrase? What are people talking about as far as "health care reform". Are we wanting all health care to be free? Who pays? I would welcome a cut in the premiums I have to pay. Is this what is going to be reformed? It seems to me that most of the people talking about "Health Care Reform" are not paying for any health care now. Their employer, the Government or their parent is paying the bill. How about reform by everyone has to pay for their own Dr. or hospital visit. Lets cut out the Insurance Companys all together. How about responsibilty for yourself and your needs.
