www.wepollock.com With a Presidency in failure Obama asks from help in all the wrong places. First, Warren Buffett is the primary beneficiary of Law and Financial based capitalism, no capitalism at all. Buffet is able to have regulations crafted to his business plan as needed and in advance of his strategic decisions. AIG gets a bailout and Buffetts reinsurance business is saved.. Buy a railroad right of way and have the regulation needed to build it out play into your hands, also have the financing show up mysteriously at your front door. We are living in a country where Mao would be a more effective president. Clinton on the other hand, and in comparison to little bush, has presidential stature, yet he started the chain reaction of deregulation that eliminated the force of law and fairness. Obama must be someones tool, perhaps the person behind the curtain is Mr. T or Evil Bert. We need to reduce the amount of corruption as a first step. We must make investments in a second bill of rights circa Franklin Delano Roosevelt. We are lacking the kinds of investment we need in a fundamentally based economy. Healthcare will not help people other than those selling insurance such as Buffett. People in high risk pools cannot afford a 0 a month premium. Every piece of legislation plays into the hands of corruption with Glass Steagall and Blanche Lincoln gutted. Government money must have a societal return and integrity and structured regulation must rue the day. The US was a …

Unfortunately, this is not the case.

There are 29 other countries with a higher life expectancy than Americans, and there are 38 who have lower rates of infant mortality. Even worse, almost 50 million Americans are without health care, and many others lack affordable health insurance.

President-Elect Barack Obama not only has a vision of a nation without such disparities, but he has a three-fold plan to achieve these transformations. Barack Obama deems the following to be crucial to his ideas:

1. First, affordable and accessible health care should be available to all Americans. There are several ways that Obama plans to succeed in this. Obama believes that prescription medication is more expensive than it needs to be. He proposes that by importing medications from other countries, as well as utilizing generic medications in public programs, the out of pocket expense for those in need of prescriptions would be drastically reduced.

2. Second, Barack Obama would like to see a health care system that is up to date with the available modern technologies. He feels that by doing this, there will be a reduced quantity of medical errors that could potentially be fatal to patients. Research has shown that there are ways in which costs can be lowered, while simultaneously improving the medical care that patients receive.

3. Lastly, the President-Elect would like to see more emphasis on preventative measures. Too often, by the time an individual has been diagnosed with a chronic disease, it is already costing the American people millions and millions of dollars. Many of these chronic diseases can be prevented. With Obama’s plan, preventative measures, such as cancer screenings, will be a requirement.

Despite his repeated refutations, many individuals believe that Obama’s plan for affordable health care is synonymous with “socialized medicine.” On the contrary, this is not the case at all.

As he has stated time after time, those who are satisfied with their current medical insurance coverage will not have to change anything; they will still be able to go to the same doctors, clinics and hospitals. The change would benefit the insured, as their yearly cost would go down by as much as $2,500. Those who don’t have coverage, however, would now have access to affordable health insurance.

Hopefully, time, energy, and effort will prove his plan to be very successful in the near future.
