The 'good guys' will make reform possible

When my husband and I started purchasing our own health insurance, we didn't realize the tough lessons we would be learning about managing our own care and its cost.

Among the lessons: the importance of knowing how much medicines and medical care really cost; how difficult it is to determine those costs until they have already been incurred; how lack of understanding how our current system works contributes to its ever-growing cost.

I believe there is no one "bad guy" in this dilemma, but instead enough greedy bad guys and enough uninformed good guys to make this an almost impossible situation to resolve.

Our congratulations and admiration to the good guys (both men and women in our House of Representatives) for doing what they could by passing H.R. 3962.
