Neither plan excites me. Neither candidate has offered any hard figures on what "affordable" means for my situation.
I'll take Obama's plan for now so I at least have the option to buy into it or not, vs the mandates without any specifics on what "affordable" means or how much $ help in tax credits I'd be entitled to.
I know Obama favors single-payer, but we can't get there in one giant leap.
I call BS on that. He talked in favor of single-payer back when he was a state senator in a very progressive district, but now he has completely run away from that position, even to the extent of falsely denying that he ever did support single payer as a viable approach to health-care reform.
we can get there in one single leap, we already have 78 sponsors.
Which means that we are only 140 votes shy.
I'm all in favor of single-payer, but it's never going to pass in our lifetimes -- and certainly not if Obama is President since he will do nothing to advocate it, or even genuine UHC.
out of the country. Because they can't afford to live here anymore.
Maybe that's what they want.
