Healthcare for everyone in New Mexico

The issue is affordable healthcare for every New Mexican. We want a system that every person here in the state can have access to in a short matter of time. We want it to provide for preventive care so that an illness is treated early. We want a healthcare system that provides care for dental problems and eye problems. We want a healthcare system that provides care for mental illness as well as physical illness. We want a system that provides medications at an affordable cost. We want a system that keeps healthcare cost low and taxes lower. We want a system that provides the best level of care for ourselves and our family members. We want a system that requires that all interested parties pay their fair share. We want a system that gives the patient the chose of which provider to pick. We want a system that ensures that the providers are held accountable for their level of skills, that mistakes are kept to a minimum and that cost are keep at a reasonable level.

The Governor and the Legislature will try and work out the details of just such a healthcare plan for our state in the next 30 days. As we have all been hearing the task will not be simple or easy. The people in Santa Fe have very difference views on how the plan should work for the state's voters. I am sure by the time a plan hits the governor's desk to be signed that more than a few compromise deals will have been negotiated to get the best possible plan for all interested parties. I know that our governor wants the best plan possible for everyone in New Mexico. At this point in time all we can do is wait and watch. When the time comes we can give our support by speaking up for what is being asks for by our representatives. I am sure that voters from all parts of the state will have their representatives express their needs and wants to those in control of the process. I can only hope that the people who say that it can not be done are wrong.
