Yes We Can!!

What's on your mind...

"Change is never easy, but it's always possible", announced President Obama as he applauded the passing of the Health Care Reform Bill.  Who would have thought that a bill offering health care for all Americans would have received such opposition. Let's see, the bill offers insurance coverage regardless of pre-existing illness, tax credits that allow small businesses to provide health insurance for their employees, preventative care coverage, etc. and the problem is??

We could discuss why so much opposition to a bill that will have an historical positive impact on the overall well-being of a nation,  but the greatest protest is the cost of such a bill and I don't think we need to spend much time debating cost.  Aren't we spending billions(possibly trillions) on a questionable war(with less resistance), gave millions to bail out banks in response to corrupt behavior and let's not mention Halliburton.  Are we really protesting the Cost?  Is anyone talking about the current expense of emergency room visits, and the long term chronic care bill for preventable illnesses left untreated?  Enough on that topic.  There is a lesson in the passing of this bill. 

Change is never easy, but always possible.  What a reminder that whatever the task,  no matter how big the dream, or monstrous the adversaries...  with relentless effort, unwavering determination, and mustard seed size faith,  Yes You Can!!
