Angry, there are definite systemic problems and inefficiencies, but extending the coverage offered through more funding would definitely help. I'd say we need to do both in order to improve the level of care for those who served.

Thank you for the correction Kyle. Are you saying the problem with SCHIP and the Veteran's Affairs is lack of funding not systemic? Or will money somehow correct the inefiencies and other problems with the Veteran's healthcare?

Angry, not all Democrats want mandatory national health care. That was a key difference between Obama and Clinton in the primary. We Democrats want to put the decisions for medical procedures in the hands of doctors and not the insurance companies or government bureaucrats. We need to be properly funding programs like SCHIP and Veteran's Affairs to start to provide a minimum level of care to those in need.

national health care—what a liberal scam. Within 5 years of implementing national health care people will begin dying while waiting for the necessary tests and prodcedures. Take a look at Canada, England etc.

He stated that if our country would just make it a priority that we could make sure that quality health care is available and affordable to all Americans. He also stressed the need for medical decisions to be made by doctors and not accountants at insurance companies.

That's some pretty profound stuff!! This guy is clearly a deep thinker, did he say anything else besides the typical liberal talking points???
