There's certainly been a lot of debate about the debate over health care. The two sides have their talking points, and these town hall meetings don't seem to settle much. In general, journalists are not doing a good job explaining what reform will or will not do, largely because the House and Senate versions are different, but also because we don't dedicate the time to tear apart this monstrous bill. I'm not convinced our Congress members know what it will do either. But I did hear one speech before the House that was fascinating, and may explain the consternation of Republicans and the protestors.

Now, agree with him or not on the impact of health reform, put the shoe on the other foot. This would be no more fair if Republicans were still in control. I think the President will need to address this, or watch the anger grow.

TRIPLETS UPDATE

The Stephan triplets continue to prosper! Their mom, Debbie, also appears to be getting stronger following a rare "amniotic fluid embolism." Keep those prayers coming, and if you are so moved, here's the info on where you can make contributions to help offset medical bills:

Bank of America, Deborah M. Goff - Medical Fund

ATTN: Patti Hickey, 15115 Manchester Road Ballwin, MO 63011

Thanks,
