Obama's Health Care Proposal
I am one of the tens of millions of Americans who support the President. Our health care system is a mess. It is the least effective and most expensive in the industrialized world. We should have single payer health care as the rest of the world does but this is a good first step, as long as we have the public option.
One suggestion
It is shame that NATO generals earn 200.000 EURO each year and nobody pay taxes on it. NATO cannot be over the law. Also, US soldiers in Iraq have tax free salaries.
Who cares what
I wonder if any American car what Sarkozy does and how you lice in France. The American care if you paid NATO fees for fis salary comes of it. He cares if you send soldiers to Afhanistan for he can save money by sending less soldiers. He cares how many refuges France take for it means less them in USA.
US health insurance
In fact in my adulthood life the health insurance issues in the US make me to doubt the level of education of Americans.
This shows many holes in their education system as they have to depend on what someone says instead of taking just few minutes to read themselves. With the modern technology for communications and greater percentage of these gargets comes from the US.
It’s shameful that Americans are washing there dirty linen outside in the name of health insurance. A man who doesn’t exist in British politics became a model in the US just on the same issue and finally British prime minister has to go online to tell the real story.
With modern technology, everyone on the right side of issues in the world will have their names and general profiles presented online.
The issue is simple; the people on the side of account of the present system are afraid of change because it will reduce their pockets size.
Americans please read more.
Support Obama
Why the opposition to Obama's proposals? Does it reflect the emprically failed view that the free market is the best means of funding healthcare? Does it reflect the view that the free market is less corrupt than government?
Does it reflect the view that those who currently cannot afford private health insurance are somehow non-deserving, less than equal?
coverage for the sick/ "Health Care"
Health Care is a human helping relation and not a commodity to be exploited by insurance companies with their CEO's multi million dollar salaries and by wallstreet.
