i'm not well versed in politics and government. so for those of you that are, i have a question for you. All this money for stimulus this, and reform that, why not make grants where small business can apply for? if they fit the criteria they get money which they can help keep they businesses alive. thats how you stimulate the economy. i dont need a $300 million dog park in my city. and yes that was in the stimulus bill that was passed.
I honestly think a better idea would've been to make larger corporations pay for healthcare for their employees, like Wal-Mart for instance. They make money hand over fist and pay their employees dick. At least some healthcare would be nice. There's a grip of other companies you could name like this. AT&T, McDonalds etc...
I go to the VA hospital to get treatment and I'm very thankful I have that. Insurance through my work is not affordable and I work for a large and reputable company but I just flat out cannot afford it for me and my kids. It's cheap for me (even though it's not great coverage) but it's expensive just to add my wife, nevermind my kids. That's a big deal to me. We'll still have to pay for this universal coverage anyways so I'm curious to see how this pans out but my VA doctor doesn't wanna hear what I have to say, they give you medicine for your complaints.
My last trip to the doctor, I had an appointment and got in right as I got there. It ended up being a 4 hour ordeal waiting in lines after that for a routine check up. Unless you're dying, you're all a routine check up. I can't imagine it will run a lot more differently than that once the government puts their hand in it.

Health Care Reform. More americans will now be able to purchase health care insurance INCLUDING people with terminal diseases who are considered "high risk".
If you get sick, you will not be dropped for any reason. So if you get cancer, your insurance cant weasel their way out of it.
Still too poor to buy insurance? Don't worry, Government subsidies will be available..
Worried about the cost to you and other taxpayers? You shouldn't, unless you make $250,000 or more a year.
If this isn't fuckin great i don't think nothin will please u folks.

what about the people who dont have insurance? They don't even get a shot at treatment. Their only option is the emergency room. Which costs taxpayers BILLIONS, thats right BILLIONS of dollars. More people die everyday because they can't afford health insurance. Health care is a right not a privelage. You should'nt be healthy only because you can afford it. PREVENTIVE CARE IS THE ANSWER, WHICH RESULTS IN A HEALTHIER POPULATION, WHICH IN TURN COSTS THIS COUNTRY LESS MONEY.
What about the war in Iraq and Afghanistan? that's costing billions and BILLIONS of dollars too, not to mention lives.
Part of the other problem is, healthcare is outrageously priced in this F'n country. You get aspirin in the ER and it costs you like $30 per dose. Ambulance rides are a grip. Getting a cast put on costs grip. Give me a break dog. Send me to the hospital in the back of an F-150 if it'll get me there alive as long as it's less than $600 to get 4 blocks. I can understand the helicopter medivac thing being a lot but not a ride in a glorified van. That's half of our problem.
I'm also pissed about going to the doctor multiple times for the same thing and all they do is give you different medicine. I've wasted so much time and money on co-pays for stuff that doesn't fix anything

oh yeah not to mention that you will be covered under your parents health plan until you are 26.
The economy works better when people arent scared of losing their health care or worry about paying debts to hospitals. They will spend their money and jumpstart the economy.
of course obama is a politician and he has favors too repay, but i think he is doing a great fuckin job given the mess he was given. We are pulling out of iraq, a war which spend trillions of US Dollars, all dollars that could have gone to feed hungry children and pay for health care. i dont think some of you can fathom exactly how much we have invested into this pointless war all for a commodity that will soon be obsolete (oil) once we all figure out that we have to invest in clean energy.

They have programs for people who cannot afford healthcare. Don't tell me they don't, because my boy goes to county and pays $5 a month for his health insurance through the government. Before my girl got Kaiser through her work, she was on Medi-cal and didn't pay shit for shit.
They go wrong when they shove it in EVERYBODY'S face....which will eventually affect current health plans and force people to get shit they do not want. You are a business, you offer Kaiser or Government...Government costs a grip less...you go with the cheapest to increase income and decrease spending. I don't have health insurance right now...I would rather come out of pocket at Kaiser than deal with what the government offers...because I've seen first hand how it works, and it sucks.
And what costs the country so much money is jackasses going to the Emergency Room for colds and flu's. Taking a trip to the doctor for a cold or flu is like going to a steakhouse for a vegetarian meal...there ain't shit they can do for you. It happens ALL THE TIME, and it costs us a shitload of money.
Preventative medicine is not an option with Universal Healthcare unless you have the money to get your MRI's, X-Rays, and CT Scans. They will say "You don't need that"...they do it in many places with universal healthcare. People die from treatable cancer, they lose limbs, they lose eye sight. It's a mess and I refuse to be a part of it.
