Like many of you, as if on clockwork, I opened up my email today. It is part of my daily routine. Oh I also have kids to feed, toys and clothes on the floor, homework needs to be done. My life does not vary day to day.
Here it is in my inbox. Yes another email about healthcare reform. Is this American health care thing still going on and when will it be over? On personal matter I wonder if my Dad's recent cancer diagnosis is going to lead to a financial burden in the midst of his beloved retirement. Would he have a better experience here in Canada? I suspect at least the financial worry would be lessened and quality just as good. Why can't our fellow Americans see that change like this is worth fighting for? Living in Canada we have a little insight to what a positive change health care reform can be. Change can be good, if you do it right.
If you have not done a thing or many things NOW IS THE TIME to ACT. Yes today and tomorrow is crucial and if you have a thought or want to lend your voice THIS IS THE TIME TO ACT. Life does get in the way (yes kitty you will be fed!) but everyday life will be there tomorrow and the day after. But this opportunity of American health care reform with teeth and substance will NOT.
I urge you to contact your Senators (LINK)- email is GREAT and while at it encourage family and friends to do so before it is too late. If that is not your style or if you want to do more- Here are 5 simple ways you can help pass health care reform.
Yes NOW IS THE TIME to ACT. Even though we are not "home" yes we can make a change for America tonight.
