Yes? No? Maybe So? Health Insurance Here We Go!

What is going on with the media? The opinions in regards to who wants healthcare reform are as varied as political third parties. I do not understand why it is that Republicans are adamant that the country does not want political reform, when public polling shows the opposite? Who is pressing who’s agenda?  Who’s side of the Health Insurance debate is the media on, and should they be taking sides in the first place?

Mediamatters reports on CNN’s piece on the fallacy of an unpopular Health Care Reform plan. Over 50 % of popular polls state they are for this reform!

You would think that with TV, Radio and the Internet information would be clearer and more truthful. Unfortunately because we are inundated with all these different mediums and develop preferences toward certain programs over others, each station, party, advertisement reaches out to its strongest benefactors and holds on tight. All this does is fuel the flames of hatred in this country and stagnate our progression as a society economically, technologically and socially.

We aren’t meant for these petty games, fighting over numbers like toddlers over crayons. We are a country that is greater than this, that can rise up beyond these simple matters. We are a country that goes out and takes our destiny with force and power because we are strong and we deserve it and we will survive. This petty squabbling is weakness. Compromise & get it solved and over with already! Votes are the only true sign of who wants what. With all the recesses and filibustering going on in congress it’s no wonder people are mad with impatience.
