The roads I drive on are great. Frankly, I think the insurance companies are far worse at organization and efficiency than the gov. Also American Citizens have no power with insurance companies. They are not required to answer to the people - they can pretty much do whatever they want. Including denying your claim for your hypothetical son's surgery. The government is required to answer to it's people. We have way more power to decide how the health system works if we have the power to hire and fire the beaurocracy. Yes, here's how universal health care will effect my family personally - my sick, uninsurable mother-in-law will have healthcare. Thus relieving me of the massive burden. I'll be able to take my kids to the doctor for x-rays just in case instead of waiting to make sure their foot is broken first. I'll be able to get the medication I am prescribed for allergies because it will no longer be a luxury. And if the beaurocracy screws it up - as you're so sure it will - well, at least I have the power to vote the leaders out and get someone who can do the job better.

For instance, Hillary wants to pass a nationalized healthcare. That means that the government- who is NOT good at social security processing, welfare processing, or any other kind of efficiency- is going to be handling YOUR healthcare and YOUR family healthcare. So your daughter or son needs surgery? You can't get it until the huge government beauracracy can process your paperwork.... talk about a backlog! The programs they currently operate have nowhere NEAR the people enrolled that a nationalized healthcare would have. To me, that's a huge issue that affects all of our families.

I'm most interested in the ones that are going to directly effect my family's life. But, I suppose different people have different values. It will be an interesting election.

However, when voting for President, there are SOO many OTHER issues to deal with, and when considering those, Hillary just isn't the best choice. That sounds like a great idea, and it might be.
