Life is ALL about choices - including healthcare!

I just watched the President on TV trying to explain the changes he would like to see concerning healthcare. Immediately following his address to congress, there was a commercial about a woman from Canada who found out she had breast cancer and was not able to see a doctor for 6 months so she came to the U.S. for treatment. Did she pay for her care while in the U.S. or did we pay for her care while she was here? Did she purchase health care while in the U.S? There was also another commercial stating that the U.S. has the best health care in the world and the woman talking about receiving the best care in the world receives the best care in the world because she HAS insurance! What about all of us who do not have health care, have been denied insurance or can not afford health care? How is the current system working for us?

I would at least like to commend the President for trying to make our world a little better. It is more than I can say for the last President who brought us into debt beyond anything we ever imagined possible and did not have the slightest concern for any of us who did not have any form of health care. If we were able to take all the money we have spent on the war in Iraq and Afganistan, it would be more than enough to fund health care for every American for the next 17 years. How great would that be?

Thank you for sharing your time with me.
