Facing the reality of 9,000,000 uninsured children in the United States turns out to be sobering work.
Take a look at this report by ABC News:
"Red Tape and Bureaucracy in Health Care" (June 10) http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=3264531.
We must do better.

Don't know about you, but I found last night's Presidential debate on CNN among the Democratic candidates using the YouTube question format to be interesting and refreshing compared to previous debates. Ordinary folks asking the questions that concerned them.
Opinion: there would have been many more questions on the Iraq War if the U. S. "recruited" its soldiers from a national draft. Funny how current, pressing self-interest shapes our primary concerns, huh? I find it to be the same with the issues associated with poverty, like the video above.
What do you think?

I found it neither interesting or refreshing. To me it was just worn out platitudes and slogans. The questions the "ordinary" Americans asked (God help us) were not tough enough. The war on terror was not even mentioned. Oh, I forgot, it's just a bumper sticker.
ReplyDeleteOn semi-tough questions they gave Hillary and Obama a pass and asked the lesser known ones, for example, the question of medical care for illegals. I'm sure they wanted to keep the base intact. I could go on....
Oh, what's with the camera on Hillary's back side?
Joe Biden was the only adult on stage. He spoke the truth on what withdrawal from Iraq would look like.
Obama's answer on talking to Iran and Syria was the most incredible.
Chris, what a surprise! I'm sure we're all shocked at your reactions!
ReplyDeletesay what you want, it was cool, better than the same old, same old insiders asking questions!
ReplyDeletechris, how do you think Mr. Bush would have done in that more open format? why am i imagining deer in the headlights?
it was cool, no matter what chris thinks!
