Individual actions can still make a difference

Dear Editor:

All who have constructive offerings to making our system healthy and providing coverage for everyone will want to read an Internet blog post, "Time Goes By" at www.timegoesby.net entitled "The Baucus Health Care Reform Bill." 

The author, Ronni Bennett, who is retired, was the first Managing Editor at cbsnews.com. She has provided a succinct, clearly written account of the current Congressional bills, the process and timeline of their progression toward enactment, and data on all the amendments with links to other credible official sites for expanded information.

Importantly, this pertinent information is going to be continually updated in a timely news fashion to be available at her site where readers can offer their own contributions with some expectation their views will be heard at some of the highest levels of our government as the article reveals.

Anyone who doesn't have Internet access and cares about health care in America today should make every effort to contact someone who can assist with providing them this information and even forwarding their insights there—phoning, writing, faxing, emailing our Representative, Senators and other Congressional leaders.  Representative David Dreier does not seem to recognize there is a large contingent of his constituents who support health care for all.  The legislation Rep. Dreier supports fails to provide coverage for all, so he needs to hear the views of those who desire health care for all Americans.
