I think that it is great!

I am always amazed how many Americans seem not to be aware about the real healthcare issues relying instead on FOX and other sources to spread lies about the healthcare system of the USA and those abroad. I mean, if healthcare in nations with universal coverage is so bad, why do they keep it?
Obama wants to make insurance more available to all and change the system so that it gives the American people value for money [1]. He also wants change so that the insurance companies find it harder to get out of paying for treatment. The system he is proposing looks similar to that which works in Taiwan where private companies are involved in providing healthcare [2].
Obama campaigned on reforming the healthcare system. He said he wanted to make insurance more available and he was elected by the American people to do this [3].
FACT - the US has higher death rates for kids both for kids aged under one and those under five than western European countries with universal health coverage [4].
FACT – American insurance companies push up prices and work to stop paying out claims on those they cover [5].
FACT - the USA spends more on healthcare PER PERSON than any other nation on the planet [6].
That means that a dead American four year old would have had a better chance of life if they were born in any western nation with universal health coverage.
If you do not like the policies that Obama was elected to bring in, he can always be voted out of office in 2012. But if you disagree with the facts, please let me know. I am always willing to learn, but please provide proof. None of those who disagree with me have been able to do that so far.

I have a letter from the Texas (Republican) Death Panel. It states that as an incurable terminally ill man who can't possibly work I do not qualify any more for medicaid. Texas euthanizes the terminally ill to save money because it hasn't started to cost the state government any votes yet. Sarah Palin says she's against death panels, but I guarantee that if she's ever heard of this one it absolutely thrilled her.

The last time any nation decided to euthanize the terminally ill it was 1939 Hitler who decided he might need the hospital beds for his war wounded.

It is definitely not unconstitutional. Here's why. You don't have to buy insurance, your taxes just go up if you don't. The feds have the constitutional right to assess you higher taxes for all kinds of reasons, depending on what you buy or sell.

You Cons keep saying you're forced to buy insurance but you're not. You're perfectly free not to buy insurance. You just get charged more taxes if you decide that.

This, in turn, protects us taxpayers from having to pay your bills when you end up in the emergency room because you never went for your annual check ups.
