    Of course his PLAN is better…but in the real world, and in a real sense, we will become THAT HMO most of us hate…didn’t a taste of that leave you angry, frustrated, budgeted, and questioning? Healthcare in the US is very expensive…healthy or not….where is all this funding coming from to meet these needs….and yes, sometimes wants? Americans need to re-evaluate their “quality/quantity of life issues”, and be willing to make the financial contribution to underwrite their desired outcome…if it’s not out of private pay…do all Americans want to see the tax increases to support the incessant “live forever…do everything….treat everything…let’s try again…here’s a study…try this drug…mentality? Sure..Americans may want that…but we’re the adults now and have to pick up the tab–I don’t want a watered down version of “deli-style” medicine, because there’s a line behind me. Obama’s plan; though well intended; will erode to that. I don’t want good intentions, I want great health care and it’s expensive, and needs to be customized to my family’s needs….of which as a mature adult understands this quality costs….just like a house. What has happened is “basic healthcare” has blossomed to include ALL services….whether it’s acne or a nose job…and the general “American fund” should pay for that?

    Maybe someone can clear this up for me. In McCain’s plan he talks about creating a “place” for all those uninsurable/pre-existing condition people. Isn’t this universal healthcare for the sick, and doesn’t it bother anyone that it seems that the Insurance Companies will only cover healthy people?

    One more thing… who do you think will end up paying for this “uninsurable” group?
