Things have certainly heated up at those town hall meetings!

Well, we have seen how passionate people can get about the status of their healthcare. I am still unsure why some people are so convinced they will have to give up their coverage even if they are satisfied with it. Seems the President has said over and over that if you like what you got, you can keep it. Can anyone shed some light on this for me? I tend to believe it is just a reaction to change. Rather than finding out all the facts, some are choosing to ignore the reality that resolving this issue is imperative to our country's economic survival. Taking responsibility for our own health and the health of our family is a part of the new plan that cannot be glossed over. This is a big deal and will require funding to go towards education. If kids are taught good nutrition and healthy habits early, even before grade school, our battle to minimize preventable diseases is half-won. Parents need access to quality information so they can pass it onto their children. It needs to be simple, accessible and motivating. Please share what you think would help?
