Health care is available to all right now. It is just too expensive. I am not fully up to date on HMO's and legislation that benefits them, but they are making a killing by the fees and everything else involved in health care. Doctor bills would be far less if the HMO's stopped meddling in it. If they just paid the bills without all the friggin' paperwork Americans just might be able to afford health care. Also when is it fair that the drug companies can lay the cost of medicines upon the American people? They say we pay higher prices because of the research and development. Yet why should Americans alone pay those high costs when the medicines benefit EVERYONE?<BR/><BR/>Health care should be affordable to all but not mandatory as the Democrats would have it. That is part of the problem with this country, the people think that the government should regulate and legislate upon issues that THEY HAVE NO BUSINESS AND RIGHT TO DO SO. The more they stay out of things the better off people would be. The Constitution grants the government NO RIGHT to even discuss health care. Sorry if this offends you, but it is the truth.nealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13655450848483696856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35997749.post-53073886363415506412008-02-13T13:00:00.000-08:002008-02-13T13:00:00.000-08:00I agree none of the candidates will help this nati...I agree none of the candidates will help this nation. I must take exception on your comment on health care. I strongly feel each American should have health care available. Socialism means the government directs the health care system with no choice left to the individual. The plans advocated by Obama and Clinton do leave choice. You would not have to abandon your present health care. The Republicans use the word Socialism whenever they want to mislead the people. Here we need to turn to Webster so we can understand the much misused term- "a political and economic theory advocating collective ownership of means of production and control of distribution". Clinton, who I have no love for, and other Democratics have constantly been called socialists by Republicans. Its a lie. They are all capitalist like the rest of us.<BR/>The Democratics have a desire to help the poor. They should limit that desire to Americans instead or extending it to the world. The Republicans are so stupid many actually don't believe in evolution and think global warming is a Democratic conspiracy. We lose no matter who gets elected. I await a third party savior!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35997749.post-33368282689604294522008-02-09T07:51:00.000-08:002008-02-09T07:51:00.000-08:00Read my newest one if you liked this one.Read my newest one if you liked this one.nealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13655450848483696856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35997749.post-63338721002081465782008-02-08T18:03:00.000-08:002008-02-08T18:03:00.000-08:00Agreed!Agreed!tshsmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637635755654078408noreply@blogger.com
