Thanks for posting. Yes there are programs out there. A very good friend of mine who works with the Indians in Mexico has cancer and has no insurance nor does he have Medicare because he was one of the ministers who signed off many years ago. He has never been denied benefits in California. He is being taken care of. I agree everyone needs medical insurance. What I worry about the fact that we are having something forced upon us that we don't want. We don't want the government to control us more than it does now.

I understand how you feel. However, that's politics as they say. I'm of a liberal/social libertarian position politically. I realize that when the American people vote...the majority speaks. When a Conservative is elected I understand that I will not like many of the initiatives they impose upon us. I don't like laws that restrict our freedom of association weakening collective bargaining rights of American workers being forced upon me. I don't like an unnecessary war being forced upon us (Iraq - Afghanistan was justified in my opinion). But you know... it's just the way things are. When the American people elected Obama knowing that he wanted reform including a national health insurance plan, that essentially was the American people accepting the idea.

I guess one can't win them all. A Democrat was elected. Let's face it... he's not going to have Republican ideas.

When I called this guy compassionate it was with tongue in cheek. Why doesn't he use charity for his family's health care. Will he when he is finally out of office give up his ins. that you and I are paying for? No he will continue to accept the welfare as long as he lives.
