Terry --
The chance to finally reform our nation's health care system is here. While Congress moves rapidly to produce a detailed plan, I have made it clear that real reform must uphold three core principles -- it must reduce costs, guarantee choice, and ensure quality care for every American.
As we know, challenging the status quo will not be easy. Its defenders will claim our goals are too big, that we should once again settle for half measures and empty talk. Left unanswered, these voices of doubt might yet again derail the comprehensive reform we so badly need. That's where you come in.
When our opponents spread fear and confusion about the changes we seek, your support for these core principles will show clarity and resolve. When the lobbyists for the status quo tell Congress to hold back, your personal story will give them the courage to press forward.
Join my call: Ask Congress to pass real health care reform in 2009.
After adding your name, please consider sharing your personal story about the importance of health care reform in your life and the lives of those you love.
I will be personally reviewing many of these signatures and stories. If you speak up now, your voice will make a difference.

American families are watching their premiums rise four times faster than their wages. Spiraling health care costs are shackling America's businesses, curtailing job growth and slowing the economy at the worst possible time. This has got to change.
I know personal stories can drive that change, because I know how my mother's experience continues to drive me. She passed away from ovarian cancer a little over a decade ago. And in the last weeks of her life, when she was coming to grips with her own mortality and showing extraordinary courage just to get through each day, she was spending too much time worrying about whether her health insurance would cover her bills. She deserved better. Every American deserves better. And that's why I will not rest until the dream of health care reform is finally achieved in the United States of America.
Please add your name to join my call. Then share your personal story about why you too will not rest until this job is done.

Last November, the American people sent Washington a clear mandate for change. But when the polls close, the true work of citizenship begins. That's what Organizing for America is all about. Now, in these crucial moments, your voice once again has extraordinary power. I'm counting on you to use it.
Thank you,
President Barack Obama

| As long as every citizen gets exactly the same health insurance members of congress get, I'm ok with it. Otherwise, NOT! |

Our healthcare system is already on the verge of collapse but hey who needs a health care system when you can have hope and change.
We really should repeal our farm bill. That would help make Americans healther and save subsidy money and health care costs. |

I think I would rather about SnoBama's plan to save Social Security. What's that you say, you say the chosen one has no plan to save Social Security?
So tell me libs is there a plan or not? #43 had a plan until the demon-crats ran interference.

Sounds more like income redistribution to me. Wonder what the top 5% earners feel about this?

I continue to be amazed at republicans like twotap and others. Whey do you all care so much about how much in taxes the top 1% or even 5% pay? They could care less about you so why do you care so much about them making more money?
Obama's budget actually cuts taxes for families making under $250,000 a year. That is a fact. And, don't try to spew rhetoric about redistribution or whatever. I've read the entire budget. For that matter, I've read the entire recovery act. No place in either document do people making less than $250,000 as a family pay more in taxes.
so, why do you all stick up for the upper class? Is it like grade school where you try to belong to the cool group by trying to act like them? |

Well I'll tell you what there FStar why don't you and Back again send in a bit extra next April?
I pay my fair share and then some in tax each year. Your president is trying to tax our way to prosperity and it ain't a gonna happen. I'm an independent with strong libertarian leanings and believe in little tax and in fact I would be happy with a consumption or flat tax.
