The United States of America's Need for Health Care

Now that Obama sat down with the dem's and rep's for a dialog in what was supposed to be a bipartisanship, An open dialog with president Obama acting as mediator. It turned out to be nothing more then both sides wanting their own way. Neither side wants to let the other side look better . Congress in general cares not about you and I. They don't care because they already have the best health care plan that there is in this country and you and I and every other American citizen pay for that . However, congress especially the republicans and independents are not willing to spend one cent to see that the people that pays their wages and put them in power has good affordable health care.

There are over 30 million people in America that are uninsured

Here in Hawaii, the law says that any employee working 20 hours a week or more must be offered health insurance by the employer. At first that sounds like a good deal but in reality what happens is a lot of employers here will hire people and work them up to nineteen hours a week and that is it. So, you have a lot of people in Hawaii working two and three jobs just to make a 40 hour week and still are not covered with any kind of health insurance. I can assure you all that if congress had to be in the same health care plan that every American had, there would always be plenty of money for good quality health care in America!

I hope that congress understands that President Obama can and hopefully will just ram this bill through and will not need any help from the republicans i congress. if the President does so it will become law and believe me when I say that the United States needs uniformed, affordable health care for it's citizens.

I know there are a lot of folks in this country that are really against any kind of government run health care. I think that these people do not know or understand

the problems that a lot of people in this country face . There are a lot of hard working, honest people in this country that need health care provided to them from our government. We have people with young children that have no health care and even if one can afford to buy health insurance on their own there is always the problem with pre - existing conditions. Most insurance companies will not write a policy for someone with an pre - existing condition and even if they do then. that person is paying triple the premiums then a person that has no pre - existing condition.

Ihave lived in countries that do have government run health care and it has always been a good thing. There is always some give and take in a government run health care program but still in this writer's opinion it is much better then what we have now.

That is mostly doe to the fact that what we have now is a system where if you have enough money to purchase health care or are covered by employer health insurance then you stay healthier then those who are not covered by employer health insurance or private insurance plans.

It is time for congress to do what is right for the American people . No more empty promises or the same words over and over. Now is the time for action Give America health care!

In the words of President Obama

"It is time for those of us in Washington to live up to our responsibilities to the American people and to future generations,"

I agree with the President, the tens of millions of men and women who cannot afford their health insurance cannot wait another generation for us to act. Small businesses cannot wait. Americans with pre-existing conditions cannot wait. State and federal budgets cannot sustain these rising costs. So members of congress now is the time

Just Do IT!
