Ten Reasons Why American Health Care Is so Bad

Actually the senate voted the Iraq war resolution and 29 democrats voted for it and 21 against. I actually believe John Edwards and Hillary Clinton were both present and voted 'yea' to pass it as a senate. Its ok it's a trendy and mighty popular viewpoint. Why would the lack of the Iraq war support the funding of health - it wouldn't. I mean we recently promised 16 month pullout, right? As you will see that will not happen, but it worked for the campaign.

Simple stop paying for the illegal war and health care would be affordable for all.

Agree'd. I think it is sad but feel letting them go bankrupt and start from scratch as a necessary development. Of course the government might like to 'own' them a bit - the healthcare doesn't need the benefit as the gov already owns/controls a good portion of this industry.


Actually a complete total restructuring of the auto industry is totally in order see as they have completely been unable to this themselves at all.

I do not even understand what this could mean - it's just trying to infer something negative on the gov of AK - for unk reason. Do you really think that moms who drive SUVs are preventing children from getting health care - really?

RN4MERCY, thank you for the personalized posting,

However, my inquiry on what this statement meant by 46 meant,
"What is more important SUVs for soccer moms or health care for the children."
was not answered.
I appreciate your best guesses but it was not your posting.

I honestly do not know any nurse that doesn't give the best care they are capable of giving. Our healthcare system has alot to be desired. There are alot worse. In a perfect world no mistakes would happen, however , we do not live in a perfect world do we?

I get really tired of people commenting on children not having adequate healthcare. Every state has a CHIP program to cover children whose parents cannot afford healthcare premiums. The income elegibility requirements are very liberal.If this leaves uninsured children, it is because parents who can afford insurance choose not to pay the premiums - perhaps to pay for the SUVs. Whose fault is that?
