I recently had the privilege of hearing Senator Ken Salazar of Colorado at the recent Health Care Summit held in Denver, CO on Friday, December 5, 2008; Senator Salazar shared his experiences on his Health care Tour where he visited 31 Colorado communities and heard real stories from real people about their experiences- and challenges- with the current health care system.
In addition, Senator Salazar introduced Senator Tom Daschle, the keynote speaker. Sen.Daschle is President Elect Obama's main representative coordinating health reform solutions. Senator Daschle's speech, besides being very inspiring, offered real hope for health reform. He announced that citizens with potential solutions to the U.S. health care crisis may provide their feedback on www.change.gov
Friends, I already have friends and colleagues who have submitted feedback- and gotten responses from Senator Daschle's office! Regardless of your political affiliation- health- and health care - affects us all! Who better than we, and our family and friends who have accessed care in the US health care system, to provide meaningful input from legislators who are willing to listen- and asking for our ideas for solutions! Thank you, Senator Daschle, Senator Salazar and President elect Obama for including us- we the people- as part of the solution for US health care today.
