I enjoy listening to Obama, He's a smart man, intelligent PR guy (that's what the president is in my eyes) that grabs my attention. McCain just made me wanna punch a dog in the face, and well, he was just to damn old. If ANYONE party wants to grab my vote, DON'T RUN OLD ASS PEOPLE! I mean, I LIKE old people (people who are OLDer then me), but if you are back in diapers, I don't need you in my grill.
But I digress, back to the topic...
This country NEEDS health care reform and it NEEDS it NOW!
My biggest case in point to this is - I didn't know you Eric, but I tried to help and felt your pain
-
The point of the current "health care" system was set up was to BURN everyday people you and I. Listen to the Watergate tapes if you disagree, READ up on your history. We live in a monetary system, so, that was to be expected.
I agree with Obama, don't DISMANTLE the current system, only give it an overhaul. Don't swing to the FAR left (single health care system such as CanadaDAs - although - could work) and don't do a minor stalling stance such as the FAR right, who attempt to SCARE the PUBLIC (which is currently happening - case in point - that douche Hannity (I do enjoy listening to his banter though- some of which, I do agree with)). I like Obama's call to arms, his asking, pushing, aiming for both parties to come together and FIX THE SYSTEM. His re-affirming that my current insurance (I like, but not so much as much as I LOVED my HMO in so cal).
When Obama talks about not going broke when your sick, which HAPPENS all the time, its happened to Jenn and I and we are STILL paying it off. I WANT and NEED more security and BETTER options. I like the fact this plan will cover EVERYONE! The current system is rotten. Why NOT take the tax dollars that are already going into the broke system and place it in a newly reform more HEALTHY system. I like that Obama is endorsing McCains option from the primary, pieces of it I agreed with, why NOT use it? You know what another good example/reason of WHY we need health care reform? Wal-to-Wal-Mart uses Blue cross, WHICH BLOWS!!! I know, because when I worked there I actually had to go to the state to get my kids shots, as Blue cross at the time didn't cover preventative, costing me $600 for 2 shots. BS!
Back to Obama's speech, good show for coming out and DISPELLING the far rights rumors and war mongering. . much to many boos?? ? for not covering illegal aliens (not that I want them deported, just legalized. . .that is a different topic altogether) I also want to say I WANT A PUBLIC OPTION! Not that I want to switch to it, but I want MORE options. More options are better for everyone. You know what is good about his speech about this though, that it is not the be all end all, and that BOTH sides, far left, far right. . quit making wild claims one way or the other. let it be what it is and not what it isn't. However, this IS politics, isn't it? Who's gonna score points where and how many?
You know what Obama is good at, despite what some people would have to think, HE DOES, attempt to move forward bringing the best ideas from both parties together. I like when he points out, yea, its a lot of money, but less then all this other BS which isn't doing ANYTHING to help out ANYONE other then the ELITIST, of which, I am not nor am I ever likely to be, so BOO HOO, for your sad rich little lives.
So I guess the simplest way to put down what I'm picking up from this speech of Obama's was - Do nothing = Stay Shitty/ Do something = PROGRESS
That's something that should make sense to EVERYONE, young and old.
Republican Response-
Again, I'm sorry. . .but ANOTHER semi-southern tool? They continue to "kick the can", and I'm sorry, but screw your "I'm also a Dr." BS! Wow, that's really gonna make me trust your unknown ass? The same FEAR mongering continues... now, his piece on his points to which they agree, their ideals, sound good, agreeable. . but the time frame for their ideas BLOW! I do however, LIKE the idea for getting insurance interstate, although it'd be doubtful to work- case in point California Electric Deregulation http://dbacon.igc.org/PJust/02ElecDereg.htm
