The Healthcare Debate

I wanted to comment on the live coverage of the Healthcare Summit that occurred yesterday. I was folding clothes in the comfort of my home and watched it on t.v. like many other Americans. In listening to the comments and taking in all the information it made me think about my own situation and how blessed we are as a nation. We have freedom of speech. We have a democracy. We have many Christian leaders. Although we disagree on solutions to problems, we ALL agree that there is a problem with the Healthcare system in the United States. That is definitely a step in the right direction.

I was pleased to see a very calm and respectful environment. I am not sure if anyone changed their position on things, but perhaps some "seeds were planted" and we can move forward.
