No doubt things need to be changed, but what frustrates me, is that Barack Obama talks as if socialized medicine is the only solution.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08895133403221472381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2882887645297800803.post-30095017908192342332009-07-20T13:48:00.128-04:002009-07-20T13:48:00.128-04:00I love your blog Gina.

I really like how you express yourself so well, and I appreciate your comments on the purpose of government, the value of home-decoration, and especially healthcare reform. Of course, we have been discussing how incredibly horrible the healthcare "socialist" reform would be if the bill were to actually pass...apparently less than half of americans approve, and it seems that congress and the house are trying to put on the brakes and take a close look at the details of this 1.5 trillion dollar proposal. Of course, there is a definite need for more affordable health insurance for many people, but this is not it. It's a complex situation. For one, let's talk about tort reform so that doctors wouldn't have to have such ridiculously high malpractice insurance. Not to mention all the unnecessary tests/labs/procedures they have to frequently order simply to "cover their bases" (so they don't get sued). A lot of doctors have become paranoid. Greg saw a young guy die in St. Louis from a brain bleed that would have been *easily* fixed in Illinois (where he was flown from). If there had been a neurosurgeon at the hospital in Illinois, he would have survived. However, neurosurgeons have been driven out of the state of due to these very issues.
