$127 Billion in healthcare spending - included in the stimulus bill.
This included:
Access to medicaid to ANYONE who gets an unemployment check, regardless of all other factors.
Think about that. CNN just listed a ton of other factors which also get the free medicaid.
The path to universal healthcare isn't going to be in one big, glorious showdown. Obama is going to do it one bit at a time.
I don't know a lot about the topic. I know it's used in the vast majority of nations in the world - many of which have longer lifespans than we do. I also know while some will brag "we have the BEST doctors - people come here!"... it's a fact 1/6 of our nation has no healthcare.
Anyway, what do you think? Is obama simply delivering universal healthcare one piece at a time? And do you think it's a good idea?
