It was so heartening to see that many people take the time and rearrange their schedules to attend the rally to make sure Congress acts to address our broken health care system. Nebraskans understand that the current system is unsustainable. The rally showed me that so many Nebraskans have said no to fear tactics. So many are saying no to lies. They will not be swayed.   The distortions cannot outweigh the reality of their own experience — the increasing premiums that they can’t afford, the coverage denied, and the impenetrable maze of insurance company bureaucracy that keeps them from the care they need. That is what is real. The myths and distortions of opponents cannot change that.
But reform can begin to address those problems. Nebraskans know that. They know health reform means putting patients before profits and making sure Nebraskans have coverage they can count on. And yesterday they came out to the State Capitol to make that clear. And it was wonderful.
