People want decisions

President Barack Obama may be laying out the future of health care in his speech to Congress Tuesday. Monday he said that the time for reform is now. It is not to be put off any longer.

Obama has shown that he cares for the poor, but his plan to help them hasn't been that simple. A recent poll by CBS shows that two thirds of Americans are confused about the health care reform. They can't say what will change if the health care system is reformed.

CBS news polls also show that 54% of Americans want health care reform. There are 80% that feel that all people should have health insurance.

How do these people know what they want if over 60% of them have no idea what the reform even means?

The 1,018 page bill doesn't help. Roger Simon of Politico.com feels that the president is toying with America.

"This is no time for a lofty speech. We do not need inspiration. The time for inspiration has passed; the time for perspiration is at hand," Simon said. "We need to know what the president wants. Specifically."

Obama says that it is time to change the health care system. It's time for him to lay it out.

Juan Williams of Fox news wants Obama to lay the reform out in plain terms; he should just come out and say it. In order to get the support of the people, Williams says that "He (Obama) has to say is that he has an idea for an all-American health care system that is better than the existing one."

That wasn't a report

In my first blog I wrote in the wrong format in my attempt to rush for my reporting class. Maybe next time I will allow myself enough to write something legitimate. Maybe, but probably not.
