What About The Big Bad Monster?
Since the beginning of the recession, it is estimated that four million Americans have lost their health insurance. To be more precise, each day, up to 14 thousand Americans are in danger of losing their health care coverage. Last night, Obama pledged that he will embark on a health care reform as part of his plan to lift Americans out of the recession.
Shortly after Obama’s speech, Republican rising star and Louisiana Governor, Bobby Jindal, addressed the American people as he rebutted Obama’s comments on behalf of the Republican Party. Jindal expressed his commitment to provide the American people with universal health care, but he rejected the idea that the government is responsible for this guarantee. He claims that big government should not come in between the patient and the doctor, yet he failed to mention the health insurance companies, who have proven over the years that they are the primary contributors in the demise of patient/doctor care. Of course I’m going to side with the Democrat on this one, but neither contemplate a country without the big bad monster.
