(And just for the record - I believe something needs to be done about healthcare, but I'm not sure the public option is a safe solution and I think things are being pushed through a little too quickly without giving the subject the consideration it deserves. For me, this is not so much about the healthcare debate as it is about dishonesty and the shunning of common sense.)

That is an incredible photo. I not sure where I stand on the health care reform. I feel I need more information. I am proud to be an American where we can voice our concerns.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it fabulous? All those frustrated and angry people and no violence. Outstanding!
ReplyDeleteI am for reform, I just don't want it to backfire. I agree that no one should die or suffer illness just because the proper health care is ridiculously expensive. And no one should go bankrupt because they got sick. Those things happen all the time here. The thing I worry about is the implementation of a public option. We must be very careful how we try to do something like that lest we drive everyone but the government out of the health care business. If that happens, then the 'public option' will be the only option. We can't let that happen because
1. It would be financial suicide. As a nation, we would be even more dead-ass broke than we already are.
2. The government would screw the whole thing up in unbelievable ways.
3. There would be rationing of health care.
If there ends up being a public option, we need to make sure it is set up in a way that will not screw us over in the end.
AWESOME video!! :) I LOVE it!! Thanks for posting this!!
ReplyDeleteGreat video. The health care issue is huge, but so many people are looking at it from the wrong point of view, in my opinion. People have always and will always suffer illness and people will still die - no matter what healthcare plan we have. The problem countries with socialized medicine have is that it does not pay to become a doctor anymore.
ReplyDeleteIt takes four years of college, at least four years of medical school and then an average of five years of residency to become an MD. Who is going to go through that if they are not going to be able to pay their own education bills and then will likely get sued for ungodly amounts of money the first time they make a mistake? Because that is another given - people make mistakes and doctors are people.
It is a hot issue, and there are not going to be any perfect answers, but what really bothers me is that healthcare is being reformed without asking anyone in the medical field for input! That, to me, is an Obamination (mispelling intended).
I hope its not too late for us.
