The circle
Over the course of the year, I have looked at news articles about health care in the United States. I have found that one of the biggest obstacles to achieving universal health care is the circle that our government is going in. The House Democrats and republicans are unable to come to an agreement. When most of them agree that health care needs more funding, they cannot agree on how the money should be used. The republicans are hesitant when it comes to the sum of money that the Democrats want, but eventually they were able to compromise. The next problem is President Bush who has vetoed bills that would increase funding for health care. While much about the next eight years is uncertain, one thing that is certain is that there will be some change in our health care policies, most likely for the better.

Hi Theresa,
Considering how big of an issue healthcare is in the upcoming presidential election, I was just wondering which presidential candidate you think might address this issue the best?
I think that Clinton would be the best candidate in regards to health care because, although Obama's plan is similar to hers, Clinton has been working on the issue of health care for years. Clinton has put health care at the top of her priorities which other candidates have not.
