Leaning

Like many of the people that I know, most of us are not dead set on any one candidate just yet. I have been torn between hope and experience or Obama and Clinton. While Obama is very charismatic, I have yet to hear anything that entices me into putting my ballot for him.

This weekend I watched the movie Sicko again and it reminded me of the one reason why I'm leaning towards Hillary Clinton: Universal Health Care

I happen to work at a company that has a great Health Care provider. I have gotten coverage for just about anything and everything from foot issues, to hand issues and your basic necessities. During these times the last thing on my mind is Health Care, but I often wonder what would happen if I didn't work where I work.

That's where things start to become difficult. While I love the promise of "change and hope" I can't help but look past our current Health Care situation. I have plenty of friends who don't happen to be employed by any large companies and thus do not have any health care. Getting sick is not an option for most my friends and that scares the hell out of me.

Some of my friends are so desperate for cheap health care that they can't afford real dentists so they go to College Students who charge a fraction of what regular dentists would charge to alleviate their pain. While there is nothing wrong with that, we know that college students are just that: students learning on the job.

So why are some people opposed to Universal Health Care or Socialized Health Care? I've yet to hear an argument that makes me say "I can see your point" and acknowledge why that would be a bad idea. What I see is people who have hidden interests in Health Care companies doing everything possible to keep receiving that extra paycheck.

My opinion wasn't formed from a movie but rather from real life. I almost feel guilty having this job with all these benefits when friends in the same age category as me can't even afford a yearly checkup.

So, What is so wrong with Universal Health Care?

This 7 minute flick shows you something that wasn't in the movie.
