I need healthcare and I need it now!?

Can we apply common sense to Obama鈥檚 campaign promises.?


Healthcare

Obama鈥檚 plan says he will 鈥淲ork with employers to supply healthcare鈥?as long as employers pay a 鈥渕eaningful鈥?portion of the premiums. 鈥淢eaningful portion鈥?What does that mean? It means it鈥檚 not going to happen. If he could legislate that employers provide insurance under those conditions, the number of businesses closing under the financial pressure would cripple our economy.

The inevitable consequences of socialized medicine.

We will see the rise of privately run clinics owned by Physicians that treat the wealthy and the privately insured. These places will charge more, pay Doctors more, and have the latest advances in equipment. These clinics will attract the smartest and most talented doctors and surgeons from our 鈥渇ree鈥?hospitals. If you have Government insurance, you will never see them.

Yes, there are problems with our medical system, but in an emergency you will be seen and treated properly with or without a nickel in your pocket. You will be expected to pay, but why shouldn鈥檛 you? More to the point, why should I pay for you?

Socialized medicine will give you鈥檙e a free liver transplant or cancer treatment, if you live long enough while waiting your turn.

Making the Medical system paperless? That would require the authoring of a web based software package in many different versions that would speak to the many different disciplines in the medical field so as not to share or needlessly replicate sensitive medical information. Most Americans are afraid to shop online and now we are going to ask them to supply all their personal information to a Government run database with literally 10鈥檚 of thousands of user names and passwords distributed throughout the medical community?

The following is a paragraph from a Washington Post article titled 鈥淰A Takes the Lead in Paperless Care鈥?

鈥淪ince 1999, the VA's 155 hospitals, 881 clinics, 135 nursing homes and 45 rehabilitation centers have been linked by a universal medical records network. It allows any authorized person to look at 5.3 million patients' records -- everything from a nurse's note written during a hospital stay, to the result of a blood test drawn at a clinic visit, to the moving-picture film of a coronary angiogram done in a cardiology lab.鈥?

Any 鈥淎uthorized鈥?person, or hacker! Is this the place you want the records for your last PAP smear? AIDS test? STD treatment? Phyc exam? Think your information is safe from disgruntled employees? From hackers? Forever? You will have no choice but participate.

鈥淪top giving tax breaks to companies that ship our jobs overseas鈥? Like it or not we are competing in a global economy. To stay competitive companies must lower their costs. Unfortunately that means finding less expensive work forces, less restrictive controls, and lower tax rates. Giving tax breaks does not cause companies to ship jobs overseas; it is encouragement to keep them here!

If you vote for one over the other because you 鈥渓ike鈥?one candidate or 鈥渉ate鈥?the other instead of voting the issues, you do us all an extreme disservice. You should not be allowed to vote.

Dislike Bush? Me too. I also hate hitting my foot with a hammer but that does not mean hitting my head instead is the answer!

All that being said, does McCain have all, or any of the answers? Maybe. Maybe not. The point is Obama鈥檚 plans will hurt this country.

Before Iraq, when every Congress member and US Senator were convinced (through lies, miscommunication, or arrant information) O鈥檅ama says he was against the war, I would like to know one thing. What information did this Junior State Senator from Illinois know that the entire US Senate & House did not know and how did he know it? What did this man that wants to be our President base his decision on?

Your right free health care won't work. People like the word free while it will be free it won't be the best health care provided you will die of cancer or AIDS or whatever health risk we may have before we receive the care. Get ready to stand in line if Obama is elected,under this free health care. My mother had free health care in her country she said it could take up to 3 years before she could see a doctor and even longer if she needed any treatments.

why dont you go to the doctor like 11 million ilegal aliens do, on my dollar------Obama cant do Heatlh Care based on what he read from the telepromter because it was actually Hillarys speech from 1993 and her plan failed

Even though im a McCain supporter i dont think either guy has the answer for Americas health care plan. Im afraid its just going to ge worse.

mines is free. my rev. said that obama will keep me getting it. i tok a van to vote and the people gave me food.

let me know if you find a publisher for your book.

your fingers tied dude,,your kinda long winded

I'm voting for obama and I dont have health care.
