Health Care Again

This is why I support Obama:

"Michael H. Brownstein --

"A few days ago, President Obama told a story about an OFA supporter in St. Louis who had volunteered during the campaign and organized her community for health reform, but recently succumbed to breast cancer.

"She didn't have quality insurance, so she put off crucial exams and didn't catch it early enough. And while she fought cancer, she also spent her final months fighting for a chance at health reform so others wouldn't go through the same thing.

"The President told this story to remind Congress, the nation, and us."

So when does it end? The strongest nation in the world and we no longer have the longest life span nor do we have the best health system. In fact, qwe are not even in the top ten.

So do we continue down this road--

"An alarming new study shows that health care costs increased last year at the fastest rate in more than a half century.

"Health care spending rose to an estimated $2.5 trillion in 2009, or $8,047 per person -- and is now projected to nearly double by 2019. If we don't act, this growing burden will mean more lost jobs, more families pushed into bankruptcy, and more crushing debt for our nation."
