health care

Since health care is one of the biggest hot-button issues of this election season, I thought I'd share this video because this is the best articulation of Obama's health care plan I've seen yet.  (Derrick lays it out better than Barack!)  :)  I believe Hillary misleads voters by constantly saying she's going to provide "universal health care" for all of us.  I just had a conversation about this with a teacher at school last week.  He was supporting Hillary and honestly thought she was going to give us socialized medicine--that our government would be giving us free health care under her plan.  I explained that she's proposing a mandated health care plan where we'd be required to buy private health insurance.  It was only this past weekend that she said she'd enforce it by garnishing the wages of anyone who doesn't voluntarily sign up. 

And since we just learned on Wednesday that the Clintons have put $5 million of their own money into Hillary's campaign, I thought I'd point out that in December Bill Clinton was heard at an Iowa event saying (in a jab directed at Michael Bloomberg who's considering a run) that although it's a constitutional right, he believes self-funding a campaign "violates the spirit of campaign finance reform."  :)  Here's the link from that New York Sun article.

I fell asleep at 7:30 last night--it's been a crazy 10 days or so.  We've got a very busy day at work today, so I apologize for putting any sort of creative effort on hold.  Looking forward to our weekend getaway so I can recharge a bit.  I will get caught up on my blog-reading...promise.  In the meantime, happy Thursday!
