...President Obama's policy on health care versus your thoughts on improving your life?

I don't speak publically about Politics, Religion, or Sex...well, OK...maybe just a little bit of sex...

Nice answer.

how about "nada"?

Everyting...I tell you everyting

Depends on how much you consider is just a little bit,
How did they get you up here into politics???

President obamas plan on health care is great
As is my life

In order to understand what's best for our health care, we must first look at the source of our problems. There are many.

I think what affects people most is the fact that they have trouble affording health insurance. This is the biggest problem. The economy is completely responsible for that. You could help that by cutting back on certain regulations, and government spending, which would in turn lower everyone's taxes and the cost of living as well. Of course it is much more complicated than this, but it would pretty much fix our problem.

Other problems with health care... The FDA supposedly makes certain procedures illegal, when they are not harmful. These are noninvasive procedures with little side affects. Supposedly they are doing this to benefit pharmaceutical companies by giving out drugs that have side affects that need to be controlled by other drugs.

Something else to consider is the costs of health care could be reduced by 15 to 25% simply by switching to the use of generic medications instead of using name brand ones.

Government health care is another major culprit when it comes to hospitals. I know here in Maine the gov is about 4 years behind in paying their bills. This puts strains on hospitals, which must increase the costs to insurance companies to make up the difference.

Malpractice insurance. It is so easy to sue doctors these days it's ridiculous. They need to be accountable for their actions but malpractice insurance accounts for another 30%(ish) of medical costs.

We don't exercise preventive medicine here in this country. 85 to 90% of medical cases are the result of poor nutrition, and/or bad health habits, such as smoking. By exercising, and using proper nutrition, along with regular checkups, we, the people, could reduce health care costs by almost 50%.

I will analyze Obama's health care plan a bit later and compare them to where we are losing out.

Unfortunately, his administration does have a tendency to throw money aimlessly at problems. But maybe he will impress me with this one. Either way i will get back to you.

Well, to begin with, what makes you think, that a man who can not remember a 5 minute speech and as a result reads teleprompter to the point that he thanks himself, can put together anything that could be remotely called "a plan"?

Does he look like contemplating is one of his strong features?

No? I don't think so either.

Consequently, his "plan" will end the way of very first health plan. That was Bismarck's plan in what was to become fascist Germany. This plan was introduced in 1881. 52 years later that plan resulted in Hitler being elected as a dictator.

Before you say that there is no connection between the healthcare and Hitler, recall if you even knew anything about what I just told you.

There is a saying that goes as follows: "Those without a knowledge of history are bound to repeat it". BTW, this one of the first things they teach you in a military school (for officers).

Health care leads to dictatorship?Well, at least we got 52 years before that happens.

Dang you get meaner ever day about this president, Nogames. With a schedule like this president has it's hardly a wonder he might slip up even on a 5 minute speech. It certainly doesn't make him stupid or anything else.

You know, I don't believe you voted for Obama a all, no one who talks about this president as you do could have actually voted for him. Nope don't beleive it.

that is a bit of a stretch

i would have to say the treaty of versailles had much more to do with hitler being elected than socialized health care that came about 52 years earlier

no kidding

In 1799, Napolean staged a coup d'état and installed himself as First Consul; five years later he crowned himself Emperor of the French.This led to me joining Mingle2 over 209 years later.

You know, you keep returning to this again and again. I wonder if you ever read my answer to your question why I voted for Obama.

It also seem to me that you can't get off a very popular misconception: that one should vote for a president that he likes. Is this how you vote?

Let me ask you a guiding question, then. When you play cards, do you announce your intentions as you would if your cards were open?
