The presidential campaigning has been going on now for what seems like an eternity or maybe longer. We have watched many come and go. Some good and some bad, there are some still running that we don't even know about that might actually be better then the front two. Yes there are more then Obama and McCain, but you won't ever hear of them because our democracy doesn't work that way.
So if the Dems have Obama and the Repubs have McCain who of the two really cares? Well according to both of them they claim they both do. Or maybe better, they both claim the other one really does not care. I kind of believe they both care as much as will get them elected. It's really hard to determine who to believe since they spend most of their campaign money on ads that do nothing but tells lies about the other.
The thing that concerns me the most is health care. You might ask doesn't the government already offer health care? The answer is yes, they do for the elderly and the disabled. But like anything the government has control of it is not well managed, to say the least.
Both candidates have what they call a health care plan. Senator Obama's plan is in the direction of governmental universal health care for everyone. Senator McCain has a plan that would create more competition in order to lower health care costs to help individuals buy their own private insurance.
There is legislation that is trying to be pasted, the Community Choice Act. This basically is allowing individuals to choose if they want to live in nursing homes or stay in their own homes an be taken care of there. In my understanding this plan would not cost more to do, it would just be reallocating the money from nursing homes to the individual. Senator Obama is in favor of this plan and Senator McCain is not. So I will leave it up to you to decide.
