My father, who is a retired marketing wizard, is a lifelong (until now) Republican who voted for Obama. He is no longer a Republican, and he is for healthcare reform, preferably single-payer. He asked me: "Why can't the Obama administration make it easy for people to see how healthcare reform would affect them? Surely the administration can find someone who can come up with a powerful one-page summary of exactly what people would get from the new program."

I called Tennessee Senator Bob Corker's office today to encourage him to support Obama on the healthcare effort. I talked to a polite young man who said he was happy to discuss healthcare with me. I told him that I hoped the Senator would change his mind and get behind a public option in the developing healthcare legislation. The young man said Senator Corker is in favor of reform, but he believes it can be better accomplished in the private sector. He told me that in those places like Massachusetts where they have expanded coverage, there are often long waits for care, long waits for MRIs, etc.

I told him both of my daughters live in Massachusetts and both of them are very happy with their healthcare.
