Health Care: Can’t We All Just Get Along?

by

Recently the issue of health care has been at the top of the agendas of the media and presidential candidates. So let’s roll with it.

An editorial in the New York Times today, “Bleak Findings on Health Insurance,” discussed how there are over 47 million Americans without health insurance. This is a terrible number because each of these people are one health problem away from being ruined financially, which means our taxes WILL go up. Somebody has to pay their bills.

In my home state, California, there is a heated debate between Governor Schwarzenegger and the state legislature on what to do about the health care crisis (I like how when people pay attention to it it becomes a crisis, even though the numbers have been the same for years). California has the opportunity to set the example for the rest of the country, let’s hope we do so.

However the big crisis is not that of health care, it is of politics.

The only reason that our nation does not have truly universal health care is because of partisan bickering. Canada has universal health care; there is no reason that we cannot! The only thing that politicians care about is who gets the credit for coming up with the plan.

It is ridiculous.

Here is a video from John Edwards’ presidential campaign in which he discusses health care. I am not supporting any candidates yet, but this video has some strong points:

    Easy for you to say, especially as a 24 year old student. Your probably still on your Daddy’s health care but wait until you turn 25 and it’s your dime. The situation is far worse than you imagine, I pay nearly $700 as a single person per month and I have a good paying job. I don’t think your blogger salary would cover that! It’s a desparate situation for sure but don’t let the Lefties fool you, they don’t have the answers and they’re vision of Americal includes free abortion, outlawed guns and most importantly free and open borders. The wishy washy moderate line sounds logical but honestly if you look at history there are no moderate heros in the world, they simply never get anything done in America…

About Political Frenzy

political frenzy - the state of mind in which one questions all points of view, attacks all angles of a story in order to find its weakest spot, and leads a full-frontal assault on the mores and demands of decaying society in the hope that the rising generation will take their intellectual excellence and achieve its fullest, always remembering and never repeating the follies of its predecessors.
