I do not like most of Obama’s medical plan, feeling myself that what is needed is a purchase pool for self employed or small businesses to buy into health insurance like big businesses, possibly an expansion of the community clinics, where non critical ER visitors would be sent to accommodate the poor and a move away from seeing insurance as the “way we pay for health care” to insurance against more serious problems or costs.

I would like to see changes made to the practice of digging into those who are seriously ill to find loopholes allowing the insurance to deny care after accepting the insured and am strongly against fines or mandates, particularly when I have not been first told how much this mandatory coverage will cost.

What is not being said in all of this is the simple fact that medical care is way out of line with most incomes and one way or another most cannot afford much care.
