My dream for the day after health care reform

So the health care reform bill is now law. I dream of a transformational result.



The dream isn't about health care. It's not about helping those in need. It's not about some political result.

I dream we can stop the fear mongering.

I had hoped we could get beyond it after Obama was elected. We heard for so long about how the world would end if this Muslim president was elected. I thought when he was elected and the sun kept rising in the morning that people would begin to realize they are being manipulated.

There are those that have a big interest in these types of events. They stand to win or lose a lot of money or power as a result of them. The people are different depending on the issue, but they have all been doing the same thing to us.

They have been trying to scare us into doing what is in their best interest.

Now health care reform has passed. I think it will do some good. What I know it won't do is end the world as we know it.

My dream is that the next time we have an issue that needs to be addressed that we won't listen to the fear mongers when they come at us. I dream that we can discuss our differences of opinion without believing that the other side is evil or stupid and will irreparably harm us if our side loses.

A guy can dream.
