I’ve taken my blog back, but am on the road again and have decided to take a break this week from blogging. This would be a great time for those of you who weren’t able to keep up with our blog posts from D.C. last week to look them over now.

There is plenty of criticism going around the country regarding President Obama's health care reform.
One such criticism is that seniors will be left with worse health care coverage. For example:
A 79 year old man is diagnosed with colon cancer. There is a drug available that will help him fight the cancer and it costs $50,000 a year to purchase. Obama's government insurance plan would deny him the drug because the expense would be deemed wasteful on someone who is 79 years old who will likely not live much longer. The money would be better spent on someone younger who has longer to live. It is called rationing.
If health care reform is very important, someone is going to have to address the criticism in a meaningful way but right now it isn't happening. Politicians giving stump speaches without addressing specifics does little to quell the concerns. As a health care professional, could you please address some of the criticism around Obama's health care plan?
