Why Is Government Health Insurance Good Only For Some
On June 24, President Obama admitted that he and his family would not participate in the government regulated health insurance plan being proposed for all the rest of us. Members of Congress would also be exempted from the “public plan” they think is “good enough” for the rest of us. If it is so good for the American people, why do our elected officials want to exempt themselves? Wake up, everyone. Pay attention, here. Your life and health may be at stake.

Hand Off My Healthcare
Along with many others, I am working hard in the fight to prevent government takeover of our bodies and our health care, an organization started by one of my "real world" women patients is taking off due to her energy and drive and commitment to maintaining our choice of when, where, and with whom we seek our medical care.
