The health care reform debacle

Not not the proposed legislation which is still in the formative stage. The debacle I reference is the shenanigans going on at the town hall meetings. The orchestrated disruption being fanned by the right wing groups who are set against the reform we desperately need.
Night after night we're subjected to scenes of crowds shouting down those who are trying to give explanations about what our government is trying to do. Instead of respectful attention and thoughtfully raised questions, they are being subjected to angry citizens who resemble the pitchfork wielding lynch mobs from the black and white movie days.
And why? Because these people are shouting they don't want the government running their health care. Really? Who do they think is running it now? If they are on Medicare or Medicaid? The government. If they are on VA benefits? The government. If they are on Tricare? The government.
And if they are on the so-called private insurance provided by their employer [that just about everyone has to contribute to now - nothing is for free], the insurance companies are running their health care. And those are the people I don't trust. I used to work for insurance companies determining how it was doled out. How it was denied.
These people need to take a step back and realize how they are being manipulated by well-paid talk show hosts who don't care what happens to them; by people in Congress who do not have a vested interest in what happens to health care because they are on a government sponsored program that provides for them very well.
This country is on the brink of a disaster and needs to wake up. If you can't be a part of the solution at least have the decency to shut up and not add to the problem.
