President's Health Plan

Last night watching the debate last night and listening to both candidates approach to the healthcare system, it Occurred to me that the chances of the system changing in the next four years are slim and none. Personally I like Senator Obama and think this plan of covering everyone is a step in the right direction. The thing that troubles me is that we are a long way off from changing the system. In the meantime, sick people get sicker and the cost of providing them care grows and grows. The most important thing today right now is to provide upfront preventative benefits to all Americans. Screenings and health risk management programs not only save lives, they restore a better quality of life and reduce healthcare spending. I really wish one of the candidates would start talking about up front treatment rather solving the high cost of medical care today. I absolutely agree with Senator Obama, the money is currently in the system! It needs to be spent wisely. There are so many medical conditions that can be cured if detected early.

I couldn't agree with you more. President elect Barack Obama said we have the money, so we need to spend it wisely. I can't see the United States of America going to a universal health care system in the next four years, let alone the next eight years. Not to mention the health insurance companies are so wealthy and definitely have their hands in each and every candidates pockets.
