A town meeting in Tampa Florida on Friday ended up in people shouting, shoving and spouting off negative feedback about the proposed health care reform. Hundreds of citizens shouted as U.S. Rep Kathy Castor fought to discuss health insurance reforms under debate in Washington, D.C. According to Castor more people agree and support the reform then disagree with the proposed plans. The demonstration was more like a wrestling match than a mature panel debate on national policy. This was just another example of a health care meeting interrupted by angry protesters. There will be similar scenes repeated across the country as we get closer to making any decisions on the reform. What do you think? Are more people in favor of the reform?

   No, most people know that the reform will ruin our economy.

   Heard the cameraman who fimed the scuffle in Tampa seen on TV. He stated that Dems favorable to the plan were seated first in the front rows and then others were let in. Many were shut out. The big burly guys policing this process were members of the Pipefitters Union. Draw your own conclusions. If hundreds shouted then they must have been from both sides. Ah, democracy at work. Polls show most people do want “reform” but the devil is in the details. Some of the Draconian measures proferred in HR 3200 have got people fearing the associated budget deficits and loss of their freedoms. I think that if it comes down to reform or loss of freedom the later should and will win out.
   Of course it would be helpful if a final negotiated piece of legislation was put in front of the American people for debate. Too bad that did not happen before the August recess.
