Hey all,
I get it. To some degree it makes sense. Our country doesn't have much money right now. President has already racked up a trillion dollar deficit. Now, forget the fact that former President Bush had about 3 trillion dollars of debt during his 8 years, and forget that the TARP money went through a Republican house, senate, and presidency. Ergo, Barrack Obama is responsible for the state of this nation. Ok, so that doesn't make any sense. However, there is something else that doesn't make any sense. That's leaving 47 million people without health care coverage.
We can illogically compare this plan to Canada's showing the evils which will ultimately lead us to an early death. This is illogical because the US plan is an insurance plan and not a government run plan. While I agree with some arguments that people need to take responsibility for their own care to some degree (i.e. preventive measures), we can't leave people out in the cold, so to speak, anymore. These uninsured patients cost hospitals $100 billion a year driving up prices for those who are insured. Could it be that this plan could actually provide excellent care while simultaneously driving down costs? I think so, but, again, I have an issue. This plan cannot be rushed, and it can't be forced through congress. So, I propose a new plan. We wait one year. Over that year, congress has their top notch health insurance plan stripped from them. Just to provide perspective, you see. Maybe, just maybe, that might help congress to get their priorities straight for once. What do you think?
