Universal Health Care
Wow! President Obama inherited a lot of stuff. People say well George Bush is gone so now let the healing begin, but we still have Rep. Pelosi, Franks and Senator Reid running a branch of Government and they don't seem to be working with President Whole heartily. Pelosi's mouse represents the old pork belly attitude that these leaders still possess. A couple 30 million dollar mouse projects would be a good start to addressing healthcare issues. President Obama has his work cut out for him to be able to get this branch to un learn and re learn a new way of approaching America's issues. We as a nation need to support our President and give him a chance to try his recipe. We elected him and he needs to be given the opportunity.I as so many of my colleagues agree that the dollars spent on healthcare are more then enough to take care of all Americans. The money is just not being spent in an efficient way. We have one of the best healthcare if not the best in the world. We have allowed the system to be focused on profits not care. I believe that a form of Universal health care might be a solution. Reports show that Medicare runs at about 1 to 1 1/2 percent for administrative costs. And virtually all medical providers are paid for services rendered. The Veterans Administration has similar costs and is probably one of the best run systems in the world. Why is our system broken? One word......PROFITS.While I was not a big fan of Michael Moore, I have to say his movie "Sicko" was well done. I agreed with most but not all of the facts. He did a fantastic job on the majority of the movie.I believe that healthcare reform
