Healthcare under the next president.

Healthcare is a big deal to me, and not just because I work in the health and wellness industry. I think the way the US handles healthcare for its citizens is embarrassing. We are not only becoming a nation of uninsured, but underinsured. And the way we are living isn't helping. In a country where obesity has overtaken heart disease as the number one killer, in combination with the fact that about a large percentage of disease* in the US can be prevented by consistent and proper nutrition & exercise, you'd think we would realize the situation is as bad as global warming. 

The entire article, "John-Care versus Barack-Care" is posted here. It's a brief, to the point article. Make your own choice, but make it a wise one.

To sum it up:

 "So, those are the basic outlines of the two candidates' health care plans. Senator Obama would build on the system that is already in place and offer people an additional option - buying into a Medicare-type public plan. By contrast, Senator McCain wants to get rid of the current system of employer-provided insurance and force everyone to buy insurance as individuals.

    In terms of health care policy, this is by far the sharpest difference between presidential nominees the country has ever seen. Hopefully, people will be aware of these distinctions when they cast their votes in November."

(*I have to verify that in the research the company I work for has, but from what I recall, the percentage is alarming.)
