Who’s Against Health Care Reform?

Community Health Priorities is interested in exploring and encouraging ways to create healthier environments - places people live, work and play where making the healthy choice is the easier choice. The approximately 99% of the average person’s life spent OUTSIDE the doctor’s office or hospital is where most of our health is impacted.

That is why you haven’t seen much about President’s Obama’s efforts to overhaul the health care system on this site.

But nevertheless, why are the voices crying out against health insurance reform – which is largely what it is, not health care reform –  so much louder than the voices pleading for a fix to the system?

Some newspapers, including the Oregonian, cover the rising costs of insurance at the same time many print descriptions of so-called town hall meetings on health care reform being run on media-grabbing, scare-tactic themes of socialism and worse.

Do you, or anyone you know, think we have a fair and equitable heath care system?

Do you know people who would benefit from a new system that offered affordable choices that weren’t influenced by a for-profit insurance industry?

Are you for or against the public option?

Who, aside from the insurance industry, is against reforming the current health care system in the United States?

If so, we’d love to hear from you.
