If Only Their Voices Could Be Heard....

Imagine how different the whole healthcare reform debate would be if all the voices of those who’ve been directly affected by the current system could be heard. Unfortunately, those same voices of people who’ve suffered with the shortcomings and inherent injustice of the system are, by virtue of their weakened physical or financial conditions, the people least likely to be heard. And, ironically, those who champion the cause on behalf of those unfortunates, have become easy objects of attack by healthcare reform opponents.

Opponents have become so clever and devious that it’s almost impossible to prove they’re kicking the sick, weakened, and disenfranchised while they’re down. But, they’re sure kicking-the-hell out of the people who are trying to help those others get up.
