I have been listening with great interest to the 'Health Care Summit' that President Obama convened this 
morning at Blair House in Washington...!!!
The supposed non partisan attempt at adopting some sort of health care reform, or at least provide some sort of common ground, has resorted back into a philosophical debate of left vs right...
An age old quandary between 'Federal Control' vs 'States Rights'...
In other words, who do I trust more, Washington or Harrisburg...
In a sense, I believe that Health Care is a lot like Real Estate...in that, it is very local in nature...
Unless there is a special need, most health matters are dealt with on a local area basis, by local health care professionals...These doctors, nurses, and other professionals live in our communities, work in our communities, their children are educated and play in our communities...they have both a stake and an interest in the general welfare of our community's residents...AND...there is much to be said for that...!!!
In this age of unheard of levels of National Debt, of repeated scandals occurring amongst those in national politics, why would the Senate and House members expect that we voters would trust them...
That lack of trust has been displayed by voters in Virginia, New Jersey, and Massachusetts in recent elections...
Yes, it is all about TRUST...and TRUST can not be legislated...In Washington nor in Harrisburg...TRUST MUST BE EARNED...!!!
Health Care Reform is ultimately a matter of CHOICE...The CHOICE of THE PEOPLE far outweighs THE CHOICE of a few hundred politicians in Washington...!!!
