Health insurance has been in the spotlight recently as the debate for a nationalized health care system ensues. What is often overlooked is the quality of healthcare in the United States. Forrest Simmons, had a right hip replacement at Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta and says exactly two weeks after the operation : “I am, sitting at my desk at work, only having to use a cane to get around, and it reinforces my belief that we have the most incredible health care and technology systems in the world”.
 
The debate on health care reform impacts every one of us and when you think about it, this may be the one piece of legislation that touches all of us in the most direct, intimate fashion. What’s more personal than your health? Whether you agree with some type of government provided health care or not, this is too big of an issue for us not to reflect our views to our elected representatives.
 
With that in mind I have attached a link that will help you contact your representatives in Congress and let them know your opinion. Here is the link to copy into your browser:
