Obama’s Healthcare Plan vs The Republican Plan – with video
Hi everyone. I’ve been off the political blogging grid for awhile now. But I just had to speak up about this healthcare thing.
Below is a DNC video that I recently was sent a link to. And this is some of how I feel about it…
I don’t claim to have any answers – just questions. So, here goes.
I could understand the Republicans being against Obama’s healthcare plan if they at least had a plan of their own. Do they?
Sometimes I wonder if our elected government has forgotten that they represent The “United” States of America…and that this issue is about LIVES not elections.
Okay, that wasn’t really a question, more like a statement.
And I’m totally NOT for taxing the top 2% of Americans to subsidize the 15% without insurance. But just out of curiosity…
Who are these people? The top 2% people? Are you one of them?
And how many of them would be totally against donating some of their wealth or business savvy (at least temporarily) to finding a way to help the uninsured of their own country?
Seriously. Did anyone think to ask? Maybe this population of our country isn’t as heartless and greedy as some people would like us to believe?
Anyway…Here’s the video from the DNC. What do you think about all of this? Dare I ask?

there is one sensible way to fix this and it came from Republican John McCain. Tax health benefits. I’ve purchased my own for years -self empolyed–and i have not tax break on this. real hc reform is going to have to come from all of us. And believe you me, if we are getting our benefits taxed we all have incentive to keeps cost down.
Bush gave us a large entitlement program–drug benefits. no payment plan. Obama is trying to out do Bush by 10,000% and without payment plan for that we will be in an unfixable mess.
