Health Care Reform is a hot topic!   The problem is that there are far too many politics involved and too few constituent’s desires being honored.  Our statesmen are in office because we chose them.  We have the option not to choose them again if they do not listen to the voices of their people.  In my humble opinion, a political representative can not stand for his people if he or she does not stand with them.  They have to hear the opinions of their constituents in order to act on their behalf.

Healthcarevote.com has created a balanced Survey on heath care reform available for the public to complete and send on to their statesmen. The website takes the survey information and forwards it on to each individual’s representative at no cost. After completing the survey you are given the option to keep a short three sentence or so memo that is attached to your questionere or to write your own. I chose to write my own, highlighting my position on the exorbitant costs required by healthcare providers, thus passed on through the insurance companies (the main cause for healthcare’s HIGH costs,) pre-existing conditions, the right of choice for care, abortion, the coverage of illegal residents, and more.  This is an opportunity for each individual to express their opinion and have it heard by their elected official.

The site is associated, from what I can find, with Zogby, an individual that contacts their statesman via the site has the opportunity to opt out of any information sharing for future political surveying purposes.
