Health care reform
By Ben Bosley/Tucson
MoveOn.org held a rally outside NW Medical Center in Tucson in January. A new federal study shows that health care spending rose to an estimated $2.5 trillion in 2009, or $8,047 per person-and is now projected to nearly double by 2019.
?If we don't act, this growing burden will mean more lost jobs, more families pushed into bankruptcy, and more crushing debt for our nation. ?This isn't a problem we can kick down the road for another decade-or even another year. ?We are incredibly close to passing real health reform. I stand with President Obama in calling on Congress to finish the job. ?
Too many in Washington are now saying that we should delay or give up reform entirely, but Americans understand the stakes for our economy and our lives, and that we want action. If not now, than when? If not us, than who?
