Government run health care

It is very sad. I think we probably have no idea how bad it really is in this country.

I think many people are picking apart our president and the healthcare reform issue. I know that all people won't agree with everything he wants to do.
Some Americans are in such dire straits with lack of healthcare, almost any relief is better than what they already have, or don't have.

I want to give him a chance to see what he comes up with and not listen to all I hear every day from his critics. I truly hope we can see some help coming soon.

Terry - I'm with you 100% with everything you said here.

Don't get me wrong - I love this country and would never want to live anywhere else - but we need some serious changes to come about. For too long, too many issues have been swept under the rug, and now they need to be not only addressed, but resolved. I really don't expect to see any major, sweeping changes in what's left of my lifetime, but for the sake of my kids, grandkids, and beyond, I certainly hope that they can look to a more promising future.

Politics is not my forte and I don't claim to even have a clue how this will come to be, or even what most of the issues are (other than healthcare of course), but I do know that the problems are many. There are just too many good people in this land of plenty, who are forced to make do with next to nothing. It just shouldn't be that way in the most powerful and prosperous country on Earth.

Well said, Ellie. I agree.

I think it's a monstrosity because it has been swept under the rug for so long. What a shame. It's not an easy undertaking.
I'm with Ellie. I don't have a clue how to fix it but I wish we could get it fixed asap.
I still have to keep some faith that something good might happen eventually but I don't think I'll ever see a good solution in my lifetime. It's become way to big to change all that's been created over all these years.
