I have no time to blog this week, but want to share this interesting comment I received on my health care blog (from Monday, July 20, 2009):
I believe Barak Obama is doing and amazing job as he is swimming against a huge tide of fearful people who don't understand what it means to have health care for all. He is taking the first critical step making sure that one serious illness does not bankrupt a whole family. He is working hard to allow people to be treated for pre-existing conditions if they have to change insurance (for what ever reason, relocating to a new State or changing a job). There is so much to be done that even with the will of the people today, it will take years to go in the right direction.
This health debate is critical and if it does not go through, this will be a country divided. In my opinion the health care situation here will resemble the third-world country as far as the individualistic health care system is concerned and we will not only see 45 million people sick and unable to receive healthcare, but millions of aging middle class people sick with huge bills to pay running into bankruptcy and unable to contribute to cure a weak economy.
This issue is critical, please send your comments here, people are reading this blog!

Americans, I feel so sorry for your health care system. I live in the US as a resident but hold a British passport. In Great Britian, everyone gets free health care. Although I am currently well insured and paying for insurance, I still have to co-pay following a visits to the hospital, if for example I have an Xray.
All I can say is my biggest insurance (if I need expensive treatment) is to get treated for free by the National Health service in England. It feels good to know you will be treated without any insurance if you are English. I only wish it could be the same in the USA. Just imagine how much it could save the economy to have healthier people.
