<div>We will get change in 2009 since a new Executive will be inaugurated. But what is the change that we will receive?</div> <div> </div> <div>We can look at the Canadian health care system. There, doctors work about 4 days a week and earn possibly around $250,000 a year. They lack incentive to do the extras that most of us would want them to do, particularly those of us who may be affluent and want the doctor to do extras. </div> <div> </div> <div>Under a govt health system, could one imagine the Cleveland Clinic constructing that beautiful Beachwood campus? No, all the richies would have to go down to 9500 Euclid and be just as equal as the others.</div> <div> </div> <div>We do not have a health care problem in the US, we have a health care <EM>payment</EM> problem here. </div> <div> </div> <div>With a government health care program, you will not be able to maintain a lawsuit against someone who rear ended
you in an auto accident. You won;t need it since your health expenses would be paid for. The only suits that would be maintained would be for lasting and permanent injuries such as lost future income. And I mean a lot of lost future income, not just a few weeks off work.</div> <div> </div> <div>I want to see what a new Congress and President would do to somehow tinker with 2 trillion dollars of a 14 trillion dollar gross domestic product.</div> <div> </div> <div>That and a Kucinich Department of Peace would set us back cost-wise. </div> <div> </div> <div>How will all these new government programs be paid for? They sound great, but who will pay for all of this? </div> <div> </div> <div>My late grandmother, with little education, used to say "the government pays for it." But she did not realize that WE are the government paying our taxes for these programs.</div> <div> </div> <div>How much do you want to
pay in increased taxes? What is the appropriate level of taxation in this country?<BR></div> <div>Christopher Fortunato</div> <div><BR><B><I>Renee Matthews-Jackson <rmatthewsjackson@yahoo.com></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"> <DIV><FONT face="comic sans ms" color=#800000 size=3>My thoughts are;</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="comic sans ms" color=#800000 size=3></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face="comic sans ms" color=#800000 size=3>To insure a progressive, healthy community there has to be some governmental program(s) in place for Health Care. Far too many citizens are without. I am one of them. I am an independent artist, contracted out to Arts organizations as a sub-contractor. There is no medical insurance that is offered to a bloke like me, that is not excessive in cost. I can see a plan for American citizens not being nearly as
costly as it is to continue a war overseas.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="comic sans ms" color=#800000 size=3></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face="comic sans ms" color=#800000 size=3>Possibly we can look at the Canadian Health Care System as a model to base our newly formed system on.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="comic sans ms" color=#800000 size=3></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face="comic sans ms" color=#800000 size=3>As far as the comment regarding "Obama is the cute new boy". In these days and times I would surely not refer to Obama as being a "boy". Cute yes, boy no. He is a MAN! His ideas as a leader are no more or less political rhetoric than Hillary's or McCain's. They all want the position. I would hope that we have learned from past presidents that while running for office they will offer the people whatever will get them the vote. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="comic sans ms" color=#800000

I am Black and I am a woman, I used to think those were two strikes against me. Today, I know both of those qualities are in my favor. The reality is...who ever sits in the oval office for the next four years should have to reckon with a people that are sick and tried.
