Dad Goes To Washington
This morning, my dad got up around 4:45 to catch a flight from the Akron-Canton Airport. He was on his way to Washington, D.C., where he’s meeting with Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) to present some ideas on health care reform, specifically as it pertains to his insurance.
This is my dad’s most indisputable area of expertise, and he’s been quietly and soberly shaping his ideas for health care reform since long before it was a buzzword. Or at least since the last time it was a buzzword.
I don’t know much about his proposal; I copyedited a version of it years ago, but I was too young to understand the big picture stuff. But I couldn’t be more proud of him. Instead of listening to cheap talk radio and yelling at people on TV or tweeting nonsense 140 characters at a time (like I do), he’s thinking constructively about a critical issue and talking to an elected representative.
Even if his ideas about health care are dead wrong, he is an exemplary American.
