Would you rather have government healthcare like McCain and Obama's or no healthcare like 40 million Americans?
2 There is a federal healthcare system in place that would serve as an excellent pattern for people who don't have health insurance. It is the Veterans Administration (VA). All we have to do is to expand it to anyone who needs it.It is not as convenient as private care, but it would offer the basics and it would take the load off of the hospital emergency rooms that offer indigent care.
3 Everybody would rather have some health care than no health care. The problem is how do you pay for it and where do you get the people and facilities to provide the services. The conflict comes when the people who have it object to paying for the people who don't.It's mostly voodoo economics though.
You could provide a pretty fair universal health care system by scrapping the construction of a couple of nuclear subs or stealth bombers.
4 Neither Obama nor McCain are pushing for government healthcare. You probably meant government health INSURANCE, but they aren't pushing that either. Obama wants to just demand that your employer pay for your health insurance (which will ultimately cost you your next raise or 2, AND you will be stuck with whatever insurance your employer chooses).
McCain actually offers government funding, directly to individuals who then get to choose which private insurance they buy with it. Obama's general theory on taxation may be philosophically "pink", but in the case of health care it's McCain who actually wants to take money from rich people and give it to "everyone" (ie, poor people). Normally I would think a socialist policy like McCain's would be the worst option (and I would also expect it to come from the other side) among random ideas for health insurance.
But Obama's plan isn't even a plan. It's just a demand that the problem be fixed, with no actual plan for HOW it can be fixed. It's a pure dictatorship.
Actually, Shasha, both plans provide for the selection of your doctor depending upon the plan, which is exactly the way it is now (PPO v. The Obama plan requires that all employers provide health care and that those who are unemployed be given an "affordable" plan on their own (meaning they would still have to pay). The "affordable" plan might not allow folks to choose, but if they wanted to trade up, they could select a plan that did allow choice.
In other words, the Obama plan does not take away your right to choose if you had it in the past. Also, the Obama plan requires insurance companies to take you even if you have a pre-existing condition. The McCain plan is quite different.
First, it does not require that employers provide insurance. Second, it does not have an option for unemployed or underemployed people to secure affordable plans -- they would pay market rate and McCain proposes that the companies take it upon themselves to offer a group plan at a low price (it's not required, in other words). His hope is that market conditions would make the group plan attractive.
What McCain's plan does propose (and I think this is interesting) that you can "take" your health plan with you from employer to employer (sort of like long-term COBRA). Since today poor people are using our emergency rooms as clinics, costing us millions; and our children are not safe in our public schools since many undocumented folks do not immunize their kids, I'd like to see the Obama plan put in place. In fact, I'm sorta hoping he'll lean toward the Clinton plan of forcing the health care insurance on folks, but I know that won't play well with the Obama-republicans, so I doubt he'll do it.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
