Undoubtedly, President Obama's health care speech touched nerves here on Kos. Now, forgive me for being so general, but from what I have seen most Kossacks are rather disappointed.

The 64,000 dollar question is: Is that disappointment merited? Yes, and no.

I'm one of the eleven million chronically ill adults in the United States. What follows is a modified letter I sent to my Congressman, Brian Baird. The contents of my letter detail both what insurance companies put people like myself through in the name of profit and my concerns about the kind of life I'm going to lead if meaningful reform is not acheived soon. I have had the fortune of meeting Representative Baird, and I trust him to act in the best interests of his constituents.
