TeddyCare

After watching President Obama's beautiful, moving speech I propose that the new system be called TeddyCare.

Naming aside, Obama clearly laid out exactly what he wants the health care reform to do and exactly how he wants to achieve them. No bullshit. He just put it all out there. I appreciated how many times he said that anyone's current health care would not change. I think its absolutely ridiculous that so many opponents honestly believe that this plan will completely rupture the current health care coverage of all the Americans who are fortunate enough to have health care.

As a new un-covered American, facing an extremely uncertain future. I have no health care and no job. In the depth of my heart I'm scared. But personal feelings aside, I'm completely in favor of the health care plan. Let's do it. Pass this bill people. I'd love to see it go even further to be honest. Let's aim for a system like Canada or Great Britain. I've experienced both of them on a first hand basis and they've great. Sure their are a few hoops that seem unnecessary to jump, but you'll find that anywhere. And this is America people, we're the greatest country on earth, we can make these systems better than anyone else.

I won't rant on about the other things I really wish they'd add to the bill. And I understand that the liberals are making concessions in order to pass this. And I see this as the first step in a long journey. But let's start this journey tonight. Yes we can.
