As everyone should know--the U.S. is embroiled in the midst health care debate and reform. There are arguments from the left and the right. Both sides offer valid points and nearly none say that the system should remain as it is. We are being torn apart by the media, our politicians, and the general public on what could be one of the most important pieces of legislation of the past 50 years. As pointed out in President Obama's speech, every President since Theodore Roosevelt (who served as President at beginning of the 20th century) has attempted some sort of health care initiative. Let us come together now in order to push forward through the darkness of confusion, scare tactics, and private interests to encourage and support our legislators to create a vibrant bill for the good of all Americans. We can find a way. We will find a way.
So in case you missed, as I did, the live broadcast of President Obama's speech yesterday to the U.S. Congress on this pressing matter I have embedded it here:
--the first 5 minutes of the first clip is applause, but he does start the speech in the first clip--
--for those with great concerns over the cost of the plan, he addresses much of this in part 5--
---had a bit of a problem with the final part of this speech from the person that uploaded it. These last bits are from a different uploader and there is little bit of overlap ---
I am proud to support my President on this issue and if I was not in the Peace Corps, I think that I would be organizing support for it back home--in pubic discussions, door-to-door talks, and whatever it would take to help educate the public to make the right choice for themselves.
Stay safe and happy
ciao tutti
