Contrary to the right-wing cry to “get government off my back,” the NC Council of Churches and the national coalition, Faithful Reform in Health Care, point out that government can help people solve problems. The coalition released a list of nine new benefits that begin this week because of the federal health care reform law. Families The substantial changes come about despite the millions spent by the insurance and health-care industry on lobbying and campaign donations to block reform. As Democracy NC research shows, there’s a strong correlation between the members of Congress who got the most money and the ones who side with the industry against consumers, with Sen. Richard Burr leading the NC list. The Faithful Reform coalition makes plain which side it’s on: “As people of faith, we envision a society where each person is afforded health, wholeness, and human dignity. This vision embraces a system of health care that is inclusive, accessible, affordable, and accountable.”

The government has a problem of being inefficient and wasteful with tax dollars. With the deficit spending going on, we simply can’t afford to continue to operate our government as we do now. How much taxes does the left wing want citizens to pay? When is enough, enough?
I believe it is a conflict of interest for government agencies to belong to a union. Their goals are contrary to the taxpayers.
