Why What We – and you – Do Matters

This missive was originally posted on 1/28/2008

A must read for those interested in health care reform is Lawrence Brown's article in the January 2008 New England Journal of Medicine: The Amazing Noncollapsing U.S. Health Care System Is Reform Finally at Hand?

Brown says, "Because the system is unlikely to collapse from within, reformers' best hopes lie with shifts in public sentiment and the election of activists and reform minded political leaders."

We would add to that an engaged citizenry that holds its elected officials accountable for change.  Which is where we and you come in.  It's time to speak up on health care.

Read this op-ed, take our Pulse® online and get five friends and family members to do the same. And forward this blog to others who may find it of interest. 

Cheers and more later.  Kathleen
