It's time to call a spade a spade.
By using scare tactics - with phrases like "death panels" and "kill grandma," the health insurance industry and other opponents of change have turned the historic opportunity of real health care reform into a political game.
They are insulting your intelligence. They think that by exploiting your fears, you'll want to keep health care as it is today: a broken system with skyrocketing costs.
This isn't a game. Each and every day, security officers go to work and put themselves on the frontline protecting the safety of others and the nation's key resources, and serve as first responders when needed.
Yet despite their hard work to ensure the health and safety of others, they and their families might not be insured.
Many security officers - some of whom protect hospitals, most ironically - can't afford to receive care for their families.
For many of those who do have insurance, it's not so easy either. More and more employers are shifting costs onto workers or cutting coverage altogether.
It's time for security officers to stand up - like they do, each and every day for the security of their families and for others. They're a strong group of people and scare tactics like this don't phase them.
