Weekly Address 6-13-09 President Obama is reiterating to the American people how important it is for health care reform needs to move forward to provide low cost and quality health care for Americans.

He has posted the  Health Care Fact Sheet for us to view and understand just what is at stake here for health are reform.

“Health Care reform is essential to health care the status quo is not working, we can’t continue to go down this path where people are forgoing health care due to skyrocking cost, ” states President Obama.

It is irresponsible to not act and make some changes to what many Americans are facing with health care.  From no health care at all to bad quality care.  If we can not be a healthy country all that we are fighting to improve we will not have the fortitude to do.  Taking care of ones health is essential to better improve our country.

He has stated a few changes:

For example – if more Americans are insured, we can cut payments that help hospitals treat patients without health insurance.  If the drug makers pay their fair share, we can cut government spending on prescription drugs. And if doctors have incentives to provide the best care instead of more care, we can help Americans avoid the unnecessary hospital stays, treatments, and tests that drive up costs.

Hope is on the rise for Americans pertaining to our government. It’s funny yesterday I said to myself it’s time that I blogged about what the American people are saying so far about the state of our country. I as combed over the internet news what did I see but the Associated Press news article about our President and how Americans feel more optimistic about the state of our country.

The Associated Press in collaboration with GfK Roper Public Affairs and Media have conducted a poll with a sampling error is plus or minus 3.1 percentage points, have conducted a poll from April 16-20th via telephone interviews. These polls were conducted via landlines and cell phones with 1,000 adults nationwide.

It seems based on the poll that since President Obama has taken office and started to reveal his plans for regaining our strength in this country and world, Americans have begun to see that glimmer of hope that his campaign continuously addressed.

Although we are not out of the woods by far, Americans do realize that it will take more than a year to get us back on a solvent road. There has been much that our government has done to position itself in a place where old barriers, new accountability,  policies, spending etc has been shown to the American public.

It is much too early to decide if these well discussed and thought out plans, mandates, polices, programs and statues will prove effective results.  The point is that if you believe it is true and if it appears to be true , then it is true.

Americans believe that there is hope for our country and by working together to solve these issues we will conquer and rise again to the once powerful staunch nation we were of years past.

This thread of hopefully mantra is stipulated throughout President Obama’s second book,  “The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream.”

Americans feel we are moving forward and as part of the attentive public I will continue to watch, research and measure these new governmental movements before saying yea or nay. I am hopefully that when we as Americans put our minds to a task it will be thought out, executed and measured so that it will benefit all Americans in one shape fashion or form.

We can only but keep hope alive and strive for higher and better heights like the American Bald Eagle.

I am an AMERICAN and gosh darn proud of it!!
