    I suspect both, but most are told that healthcare in the USA is great, or that while reform is needed, the reform Obama wants is not what is needed (but that Bush the second for some reason did not pass reform when he could).

    I am amazed that so many Americans are not aware about Obama’s healthcare plans. During the election, he campaigned for these changes stating that he felt it was unfair to have a system where insurance companies try to escape paying claims.

    Remember, he was elected to bring in these changes, elected by the American people who want healthcare reform. And he discussed his plans in debates with McCain, and he still won the election.

    First of all, too many people do not know that Obama wants to make insurance more available to all. His system is similar to that which works in Holland, Taiwain and Switzerland. It works there and private healthcare companies provide most the insurance to the people there.

    FACT - the USA spends more on healthcare PER PERSON than any other nation on the planet.

    FACT – insurance companies admit that they push up costs, buy politicians and do not pay out for many claims when they should.

    FACT - the US has higher death rates for kids aged under five than western European countries with universal health coverage.

    That means that a dead American four year old would have had a better chance of life if they were born in Canada, France, the Netherlands, Cuba, Switzerland, Germany, Japan etc, all of which have universal health coverage. And no western European nation with universal healthcare has moved away from it.

    Remember, I back my facts up with evidence. Those who say they are wrong tend not to. If they are wrong, e-mail me with proof and let me know.

    Republicans have jobs and pay for health care. They don't sit around waiting for someone else to give them a handout.
