A Bit of Health Care Thoughts

Yo Wiggle-Mums.

A bit of politics for you. (I know, like, what is this? Don't worry, this rant will be over quick. Especially if you stop reading this.)

So, one of Obama's main goals is to make health care more available throughout the country.

And he plans to do that by pushing a universal health care plan, which will make health care costs go down and more health care for all go up.

But he can't do that, seeing as there is a Republican in a seat that was originally a Democrats'.
And his approval rating is apparently less than half.
And he actually hasn't done much this first year of his presidency.

So that isn't gonna happen. Plus, even if he were to put more everybody on this universal health care system, wouldn't that just create more debt? Maybe not, but still, seems like a huge risk, considering this isn't supposed to add to our debt at all.

So what's a president to do?

Well, the way I see it, you have to compromise. At the very least, you must realize that some people just don't want universal health care at this time, but they do want there to be more jobs and more money flowing. So, find a way through businesses to cut costs in this health care deal. Some of the republicans will like it, some of the democrats will like it, and some of both won't but that's life.

But businesses need an incentive to do change. They won't just do something for nothing. And a lot of highly-paid CEOs enjoy their style of living right now. It's not like they suddenly will change. Remember, corporations have no soul. And taxing won't don't anything; people, especially CEOs, don't like taxes.

Ask what these CEOs want. Isn't that the way that most people negotiate? They ask what the other wants, and then find a way to compromise between the two. These people aren't evil, they just like and have a way to get to a lot of money. Find what else they want, and what they will exchange for creating less costly health care, and getting more people into the system.

In this way, you can discover what they biggest people opposing these type of bills want, exchange ideas and thoughts with them, create legislation that will have the support of both Democrats and Republicans while still maintaining care and lowering cost, and everyone will be happy.

Whew. That was tough. Next week, we'll tackle, I don't know, God maybe. He's a good one to discuss about.
