Just a quick post to share this link and point out that a recovery is in process despite the Republicans in Congress. Imagine how much farther along we'd be if there had been bipartisan cooperation and no Republican obsession with defunding the Affordable Care Act. And imagine how a government shutdown will affect the recovery for those of us not in the top 1%.

Calling out Republican "Insurgents"
It's not just ideology on steroids, it's a plan. A plan to sabotage the Obama administration. It involves taking hostages - and they are us.

After you read this, you might just want to let Republicans in Congress know what you think.

Republicans in Congress are taking US health care in the wrong direction
OK, I get that Tea Party Republicans hate President Obama and are automatically against whatever he tries to do. They have done and are doing everything imaginable to get rid of the Affordable Care Act / ObamaCare. Then they point to delays in implementation of a few provisions of the ACA (which they helped cause by moves like the sequester of funds that's degrading services to all of us) as proof that ObamaCare should be repealed.
If you want to get the big picture of why the Affordable Care Act is so important for all of us, I recommend this video: http://www.iihealthcare.org/iihealthcare-blog/2011/8/31/the-future-of-us-healthcare.html. It's one you'll want to share with your representatives in Congress, especially those who think the private sector (insurance companies) is going to put the health of people above profits. Tell your representatives to back off and give ObamaCare a fair chance.

Does the Back & Forth on Medicare Give You a Headache?
The current debate about the future of Medicare is often reduced to sound bites. Here are a couple of recent blog posts that might help Involved Voters dig a bit deeper.

From Kevin Drum at Mother Jones: http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2012/08/programming-note-ryan-2013-not-ryan-2012
So, what is government's role when it comes to ensuring access to health and stemming the growth of health care costs? And what's the value that for-profit insurance companies add?
