I see here a lot of criticism of Obama’s approach, but no alternatives. We have 40 million Americans with no access to health care. We have one of the highest rates of infant mortality outside of the third world. Medical bills are the number one reason for bankruptcies. What do you think we should do?

One of the major things that needs to be addressed is getting health care costs under control. When did it become acceptable to charge a patient $10 for an aspirin? It used to be possible for people to pay for medical costs out of pocket, now if you have an emergency it could cost you a years salary if you’re not insured. My grandfather is 80 years old, he often tells the story of when my father was born. The year was 1955. My grandfather was concerned that he wouldn’t have enough money to pay the hospital bill. He cashed his paycheck, totalling $75 and went to the hospital to pick up my grandmother and father. After a 5 day stay in the hospital, the bill came to exactly $75. I had a baby 7 years ago. I stayed in the hospital for slightly less than 2 days. The bill totalled $10,000 not including the circumcision which was $300. $10,000 is significantly more than my husband earns in a week. The rise in health care costs has been disproprotionate with the rate of inflation.
Of the claimed 47 million people without health care 12 to 15 million are illegal immigrants that use the emergency room as a primary care physician. You can start by getting rid of the illegal immigration problem and that alone will go a long way towards fixing our health care system.
if Obama gets his way we will have only 40 million plus with no insurance
