No Driver on a Rough Road

Tomorrow (March 5), the president is revving up the engine on his much talked-about healthcare reform summit. Has anyone noticed that we don't have any drivers yet?

Obama's second nomination for HHS secretary has yet to be confirmed. (The first one ran out of gas before he got started because of a tax issue.) We also don't have anyone nominated to head up the FDA, NIH, CMS, CDC -- all that alphabet soup that regulates and dictates our national health issues. Hmmmm, I wonder who's going to do the driving on this one.

We definitely need healthcare reform. Mom spoke to that a bit yesterday in her blog. But we don't need any more excuses for Congress to jump into the driver's seat. And we don't need another reform that's an accident waiting to happen. Remember the Clinton healthcare plan that never got off the starting line?

We do need to keep our leaders in prayer. They're bumping along on some rough roads without a reliable GPS system and not much in the way of emergency equipment.
