Let's Have A Better Healthcare System!

Healthcare is one the major issues today. We need to have a better healthcare system because the one we have now is not acceptable to our U.S. citizens. They need to fix the pre existing medical problems, for example a small kid comes into a new insurance company and the little boy has cancer and the insurance company denies him, because that was a pre existing problem. It should not be like that, the government should make a law to stop the insurance companies from doing this. Citizens also shouldn’t be traveling thousands of miles just to get cheaper healthcare, such as surgeries and etc. now that’s really unacceptable it shouldn’t be like that everybody in this country should have healthcare, they should make it cheap enough where everybody in the U.S. could afford it. Over 6 million Texans are without healthcare. Also the elderly need help to they need to have more coverage on their medications, there also should be no limits on prescription fill they can have in one month, as long as it’s needed. We need to keep our priorities straight for are elderly in medical and also social security. Now I know there’s not a lot of our generation to help pay these elderly citizens. So the government needs to step in and help the elderly a lot more, because these $700 dollar checks aren’t enough for them to live off of, because some of them have their house to pay and other things and those checks aren’t just enough to live on.


Now the next president needs to address all of these topics. However he needs to change things up and make a better healthcare and also to have more care for our elderly.

Obama Is Deemed 'Unqualified' By Americans

Is Obama ready for president? Many Americans asked that question every day. Why? One is probably because of his age, and personally for the second one I think because of his race. On the NRO “the campaign spot” one blogger mentions that one of our past presidents was in somewhat the same position as Obama in being deemed Unqualified. Ronald Reagan was being portrayed as this Hollywood star. The polls listed that about half of the Americans don’t think Obama is ready to be president; But Obama isn’t the first to be deemed like this. Michael Dukakis is number one after doing poorly on two debates.

I believe this blog creates a great argument about, if Obama is actually ready. Well I’m kind of half and half. I think he would do good, but on the other half I think the inexperience part will come in and he most likely get stuck. But everybody gets stuck and messes up time to time. I mean come on we’re humans. But I also think that the Americans voting on these polls are just voting he’s not ready just because of his skin color. Now I believe that if he was white everybody would probably be voting for him and not against him. But that’s just my opinion.

The authors intended Audience is to the voters. He really didn’t have an argument but he set up his editorial to have an argument about the topic he was talking about. The polls came from the Washington post which is an ok polling place.

But overall I think this is a great way to debate about a president’s age and history. But I also I think we all need to look past religion and skin color.

Bailout Handouts

Well I found an editorial called Bailout Handouts. When bush first introduced the bailout it got denied by congress by a few votes. But then the bill was rewritten and some perks were added along with it. With the new bill some of the perks are just senseless. For example there putting "elimination on excise taxes on wooden arrows for children." I mean that’s just crazy. On some of the comments with this article one person said “Not to pass the Senate version is to wait for a perfect bill while we're watching lifetime savings vanish.” With this, it’s not hurting just banks but hurting the people. Some of the citizens of the U.S. could be in danger in losing their retirement and etc., as one person stated. But this editorial shows a great way to argue about this bill with the facts he’s providing. While also reading more comments it seems that there are a lot of angry citizens, that aren’t too happy about this bill. Also no matter the Treasury Department will buy some of the distressed assets. The author also believes that “lawmakers should be voting with or without handouts.”

I actually agree with what he’s saying. I believe that the government should help them a little bit but I don’t think they should buy every bad asset. I believe they should just sell that mortgage at a low price and just take what you get. But I also like some of the new perks but not all. His intended audience would be everybody.
