This is why we can't win on this issue. Our population is only being fed information from people who already have and are pretty much happy with their health insurance coverage. Where are the other people? Why aren't people who are dying from lack of coverage being interviewed? Why isn't the media going to hospital Emergency Rooms and interviewing people as they are being turned away?

Why isn't Move-On and other progressive institutions running ads of actual people who have lost everything from medical costs? The people who are living out of their cars or in a Tent City somewhere?

All I hear from is wealthy, old, well insured people talking about this issue. That is no good. None of them have a dog in this fight.

We will never get any national health care program the way we this is going.

If we can't change this situation we might as well go on to a different issue. Something we can win.

1. They DO have a dog in this fight
They could lose what they have. This issue is important to everyone - on both sides.
