Massachusetts election not a rejection of health care

The election of Scott Brown was not a rejection of health care reform. In 2008 both candidates called for reform, and Americans agreed -the US needs to reform its health care. The message from the Massachusetts election for President Obama, Speaker Pelosi and Senate Leader Reid is to reach across the aisle: A credible plan to make health care and insurance more affordable and available must consider patient centered options that preserve choice: They include vouchers, portability, group purchases, interstate sales, medical savings accounts, subsidies for pre-existing conditions, and rules to protect the unborn, the aged, disabled and terminally ill. Moreover, Americans do not want their intelligence insulted; any plan to reduce costs must reform the excessive mal practice lawsuits that force defensive medicine and add $200 million a year to health costs. America does not need or want intrusive bureaucratic government health care; Canadians and Europeans have that and every year thousands come to the US for health treatments that are delayed, restricted or denied in their countries.
