seriously i had someone try and tell me why i should support obama's healthcare plan, personally i've looked at it and i believe he's just brown nosing. i will admit however the US waste 18% of our money on healthcare and millions go unprotected, but seriously do we really need to copy england and canada's healthcare plan. both of their plans are based around that of a socialistic government, and the US is supposed to be against turning socialistic due to it makes everything oriented around the government. even though we're currently capitalist and the government has little say on what we do, mostly they're just there to protect, and repair old errors, but they blow way too much money on crap that we don't nee and thats what brought us into debt, that and someone came up with the idea of trading with china, you know the government shouldn't have a say in the market place, only enough to where they can say yes, no, and what minimum wage should be. anyway back to healthcare.

the healthcare plan obama supports, created by Representative John Conyers Jr., is one of the worst possibly thought of for his situation. first off were currently in debt, secondly our government should be democratic, and finally i think switzerland's current healthcare plan may prove more effective for us. This is why the government should change plans.

first off in the current plan thats being messed with it would increase the debt rate enough to where america would be loosing 1.2 trillion dollars every ten years, and just to get an idea. it took nearly 270 years just to get to 12 trillion in debt, and we're already in a reccession, so i don't see a need to make it even worse.

secondly the government in america is supoosed to be democrat, but instead we lean to capitalism, and with the current congress and president we are even more oriented now on socialism. unforunately i'm not a supporter of socialism or communism, mostly because i don't want the government having a say in every little thing, especially money. and if this plan gets passed our government will soon become what it set out to destroy in the cold war (which never actually occured)

Finally i find switzerland's healthcare plan more usefull in our country situation because it limits how much can be charge per amount of coverage, this makes it where the insurance companies are incredibley competetive and better insuarance is more affordable. this is great for the general public, plus their government pays only so much into this meaning almost enough to be equal where our government would only spend 10%, cutting a good 8% off of its current price.

in concusion our government needs a new and better plan than this one. for me i hope its based off of the one used in switzerland. hopefully it won't be as terrible as the current one. this is why the government should have a different plan in the US.
