The health reform

Stig --An alarming new study shows that health care costs increased last year at the fastest rate in more than a half century.Health care spending rose to an estimated $2.5 trillion in 2009, or $8,047 per person -- and is now projected to nearly double by 2019. If we don't act, this growing burden will mean more lost jobs, more families pushed into bankruptcy, and more crushing debt for our nation.The conclusion is clear: This isn't a problem we can kick down the road for another decade -- or even another year. We need to pass health reform now.We're incredibly close. But too many in Washington are now saying that we should delay or give up on reform entirely. So we need to make it crystal clear that Americans understand the stakes for our economy and our lives, and that we want action---
It's clear that we're in the fight of our lives to pass real reform. But after a century of trying, the finish line is finally in sight. As President Obama reminded us all in his State of the Union address, we're fighting for our families and our country -- and we don't quit.---Thanks for making it possible,---Mitch Mitch Stewart---Director---Organizing for America
