A small business owner in Northern Virginia speaks out eloquently about how health insurance reform will help him grow his business and create jobs. Yaqub Zargarpur owns Fashion Time, a retail timepiece business with locations all over the DC metro area. A quote from his moving op/ed is below:
A delightful poem for the holidays from our friends at Families USA. Enjoy!
By Ron Pollack
Executive Director, Families USA
Twas the night before Christmas and all through the Senate
The Democrats were working for a fundamental tenet:
All Americans should have health care at a reasonable price
By forcing insurance companies to finally play nice.
The claims against health reform have become wilder than we thought possible. The special interests have spent millions of dollars and have an army of lobbyists scaring the public and spreading myths. We hear many politicians and pundits now claiming that health reform should be scrapped. These folks want us to believe that we don’t need health care reform and that the status quo is fine. It’s become easy for some people to think that health care reform is too hard and we should just settle. But what does the status quo mean?
Whoops!
The gun-guys, Virginia Citizens Defense League, endorsed the wrong guy in Harrisonburg and two days before the election and are now asking their members to vote for the incumbent. In an embarrasing email, their PAC Chairman admits their surveys are a total sham.
