Obamacare Could Be Working

If President Obama had not had so many of the U.S. elected officials working against his proposed health care plan, it would be up and running by now.  I'm utterly amazed that it is even hobbling along right now and just might be a success in time if only the Republicans would stop hindering it.

The insurance industry and the outrageously highly paid doctors in the U.S. should be ashamed of themselves for trying to kill a health care plan that would benefit millions of Americans.  Only a small percentage of Americans are lucky enough to have good coverage due to their employers but the vast majority have poor or no health insurance at all.

I've always like President Obama because he seemed so human but I believe he'll go down in history not only as the first black president but the one who, against all odds, brought a decent government health care plan to the citizens of the United States.

If he's made any mistakes at all with his plan, it's that he didn't make the logistics of it plain and clear from the very start.  He might have but it's become so muddied by dissenters that many Americans still don't know what they'll be getting.  One thing for certain, though, is that the cost of what they'll be getting won't line the pockets of the insurance companies.

I don't like to harp at Americans about how happy we Canadians are with our own government health insurance, flawed as it is, but its miles ahead of the present situation in the States.  We have our choice of doctors, we never see a medical bill, and even the poorest of the poor will receive the same medical care as the richest of the rich.  And that's a good thing!!
