It Seems That Listening To What We Think Isn’t That Important For Our Elected Representatives
By: Doug Busselman, Executive Vice President
Perhaps it’s old fashion to think that our elected representatives should listen to our input. From the looks of this report, the purpose for the members of the majority party in the U.S. House appears to be to come home to give us the bullet points on how their solution to whatever they've agreed to use as the plan (I'm really not certain whether they are working to improve health care or health care insurance).
It will be good to find out the details of what it being planned, but that needs to be far deeper than listening to talking points, prepared to sell us what they believe we’re supposed to take.
Be on the lookout for meetings, town hall sessions or any other chance you will have to interact with Congressional members. Take advantage of those opportunities and engage in discussions, aiming to understand what is being considered but also reacting with input on what the role of government should be. Infusion of government control for the sake of government control should not be accepted. At the very most this assistance should be extremely limited oriented to providing minimal assistance (perhaps in the form of vouchers) to only those who are determined to be of specified need.
