Insurance companies have demonstrated some pretty egregious
practices when it comes to who they'll cover and if they'll take away coverage.
We've heard horror stories, but this one takes the cake. Reuters
reported yesterday that in 2002, 17-year-old Jerome Mitchell, a college
freshman, was dropped from his insurance plan because he was diagnosed with
HIV.

If you watch the news on TV or read a newspaper, you know
that a lot of Americans are nervous about health reform. One recent
poll, conducted by Ipsos-McClatchey on February 26-28, found that 41% of
Americans favor reform, while 47% oppose. And that's in line with what the
media have been telling us, isn't it?

Yesterday, Rush Limbaugh tried to silence our voices. Limbaugh, and other anti-reform crusaders, hijacked the 800-number
we provide so dedicated activists like you can call Congress.

You may have seen a television commercial where a woman at a
restaurant is asking her waiter endless questions about menu items. But then, when
the same woman is shown at her doctor's office and is asked by her doctor if
she has any questions, seemingly out-of-character, she replies with a "no."

One of the biggest myths surrounding the current health care
legislation is the notion that these reforms will add to our national deficit.
Nothing could be further from the truth.

After an exhausting year of debating health reform, we have
finally reached the home stretch. We are closer than we have ever been to
affordable, comprehensive health reform. However, opponents of reform continue
to do everything in their power to delay, mislead, and disrupt the process.
While they may score short-term political points, I have to wonder if they know
what is truly at stake.

We may say it a lot, but it bears repeating one more time:
We are closer than ever to enacting comprehensive health reform. So close, in
fact, we can almost taste it over here at Stand Up for Health Care.

The fight over health reform has reached a fevered pitch,
but between all the arguing over process and the lies and distortions that have
been thrown around by the opposition, the true meaning of reform seems to have
been lost: People's lives are at stake.

After last week's bipartisan Health Reform Summit, it seems
pretty clear that many Republicans are unwilling to help move health reform forward.
So what options do Congressional Democrats have? The most likely course of
action is to pass the bill through reconciliation. The process would begin with
the House passing the current Senate bill, which would then be signed into law
by President Obama.

After 4 years of hard work, the day finally came for me to
get my college diploma. Though I was proud of my accomplishment, I knew that
the second I received my diploma, I lost my health insurance. After
commencement, there was a long period of time when I was without coverage. Unfortunately,
this is not uncommon. My fellow classmates and other graduating students across
the country began their lives in the "real world" without insurance.
