On Obama's plan, its one of those either you're against it or for it. If you're paying $200+ a month for medical insurance I don't see why anyone in that situation would be against reform. As I stated before, other countries rising economically have a universal plan and the healthcare industry is flourishing in those countries. All I can say is I support the universal plan that benefits those who have a harder time affording coverage rather than the current plan where people like myself can afford coverage but those that have lower wages and a larger family cannot.
Have you ever known someone that had to use another countries "universal(socialized)" health plan. I have family that lives in Ireland they have this kind of system. One of my in laws has had polio since she was a child and since this system has been started she can no longer recieve the treatment she is supposed to get to maintain a semi-normal life in the assisted living facility that she lives in. they now have deemed her to have lived far past her expected life span and have taken away 95 percent of her meds... all except her pain meds. I also had an uncle who had a hernia that needed surgery but because he wasn't a laborer and he worked in an office he was forced to wait nine months to recieve the surgery. Is this really the kind of system we need here. personally if i am sick and i need to be treated i should be able to get the treatment i need as soon as I can.
Just my exp/op though.
