I believe that health care just like education should be either provided by the government or at least affordable enough that everybody can be covered. I think here again the basic problem lies in all that unnecessary bureaucracy and money spent on failing programs.
I really liked Obama’s video where he explains what he wants to do to reform the broken health care system.
It’s unbelievable how much money(1billion) drug companies spent in the past to prevent a health care reform.
Health care shouldn’t be a business where all that counts is how much money they made. Insurance companies shouldn’t be allowed to decide who lives and dies, because that’s basically what they are doing by deciding who they will insure and who not.
Another thing Obama said struck me. How come that drugs in the US are twice as expensive than in Canada, Europe and even Mexico!!!! I know that the US prides itself on being a free market society, but somewhere there has to be the line and some industries just have to be more controlled by the government so that things like that can’t happen.
I just can’t believe that over 47 million people in this country are uninsured, especially growing up in Austria where we have universal health care. And I don’t want to know how many of people that actually have insurance still can’t afford to get treatment.
I found a video in the 60 minutes video archive called Lifeline.

It’s about the Remote Area Medical Relief Organization (RAM) which was set up to help people in 3rd world countries with medical care. Now it does 60% of its work in the United States.
I can’t imagine what kind of stress those people are in. Every time they get sick they have to decide if they can afford to go to a doctor or not. Most of the time they decide against it and only go to a doctor when they are really badly sick.
I agree with Obama when he says that the health care system should be more about prevention. If you go regularly to a doctor (dentist, gynecologist,…) and get check-ups many things can be detected early and prevented to ever be a serious problem.
