What Obama Wants for All of Us

The Obama administration seems to have an instinct for doing everything 180 degrees opposite of how it should be done. I used to believe that this country was too strong to be destroyed by any one man. FDR couldn't do it. Johnson couldn't do it. Even Carter couldn't do it. But, I've changed my mind. Obama could be The One. And he isn't content on destroying our just our economy. He wants to destroy the worlds greatest health care system too, by socializing it.

I have a good job, but it doesn't provide health insurance, so I am looking for another or new job which has that benefit. Or a job that pays so well I can afford to pay for my own health care. I can only go to a doctor now if I can afford it at the time. Sometimes, due to my flexible income, that is difficult.

So, it would be nice if I could get free health care, but the government isn't capable of providing it, no way, no how.

Anyway, even if it could, it isn't really free. Taxes would pay for it all, and they would go even further through the roof just to pay for sub-standard health care.

I'd rather go broke paying for my own health care than let the government handle it.

Mark -- don't you think health care should be like car insurance and everone has to have it and it should have nothing to do with your employer or if you are employed.

I think John McCain's plan or any plan that deregulates health insurance allowing meto buy from anyone who sells it...right now only 4 companies are allowed to sell in CA...and if everyone had to have it the costs would go down just like it did in car insurance. Before we all had to havecar insurance theprcioeswereout ofcontroal.

Its like a party of 10 goes to the restaurants and the bill is $1000 but only 4 people brought money.

So 4 people paid $250 each rather than $100 each for everyone.

It is just crazy how we do things here.

MAKES ME SO SO ANGRY that the Republicans did not take care of this and deregulate health insurance companies when they had the chance...now it feels like we are doomed.

It worked for airlines and car insurance why wouldn't it work for health insurance and why didn't the Republicans do something about it...9/11 or not????
