Why We Need Medical Reform

I just got the first bill from the illness I'm going through. It was shocking. I was a 25 minute CT test. The Hospital charged over $14,000 for this test. I am lucky! I have health insurance that will pay the bill. But they will not pay the $14,000 that the hospital charged they will pay a little over $600. Now I got to thinking that what would have happened if I didn't have insurance, I could not have been treated. We have well over 40 million Americans that can not for some reason have health insurance. Lets all hope that they don't get sick.

This is something that we as a country have to do something about. I look around at the political landscape and between the two major candidates running I think we only have one choice and that is Obama. McBush will make sure that the health segment of our country will stay as it is leaving out a great segment of our country.
