Leaning towards Jack Harris who has a clean and somewhat respectable record here, while Noel has a much more sketchy record. @Bigjon - I'm not overly familiar with Obama's plans, but is his healthcare plan really that radical? Also, four years ago, weren't people clamoring that Kerry was the most liberal senator? I find it kind of funny how to be labeled 'liberal' in the US is often treated as a bad thing by some. Completely different here in Canada. |
No. His Healthcare plan is basically.... if you have Kids. You HAVE to have health insurance.
If you don't, and you take your kid to the hospital you get fined.
There is some debate between whether this will increase child care, as more people will be forced to get it... or decrease child healthcare as people who can't afford it will be less likely to take their children to the hospital.
I don't see it happening because the way he is saying it, it would basically price a lot of current healthcare providers out of the market... crashing them and basically costing a bunch of people jobs.
I mean he's saying he wants to make the Congress plan eligable to everybody... which is as i recall a really good healthcare plan for cheap.
Then he wants to reimburse private plans too... it's kinda a weird disjointed plan I don't get.
