On the healthcare side, I am happy to see that Obama is not taking on too much at a time. This round, as I understand it is to take on the insurance companies to mend their ways so that no American would be faced with the situation that Obama's mother was in during the final months of her life. You simply cannot have insurance companies abandon sick people. Abolish pre-existing condition clause. The second issue that needs to be addressed later on is the pricing policy of their drugs by pharma companies with the Canadian drug pricing situation as an example. Why are drugs cheaper in a Govt run system as in canada while they are expensive here. If we have a private run system and if that system is efficient as some people claim, then why are drugs so expensive? I am for steam rolling the health care over the insurance companies.

It's ridiculous that Americans have to pay MORE for drugs than Canadians do. We're supposed to be the "Capitalists", yet the "Socialists" are able to get a BETTER deal on drugs? I don't understand why the Democrats don't just SAY THAT!!!! That's something that everybody could understand. Forget about why we can't buy drugs from Canada, start talking about how the Canadians can buy drugs so cheap from the drug companies that they can SELL them to us and STILL make a profit. That should be a pretty easy commercial to put together. The Republicans are playing this healthcare thing a LOT better than the Democrats. They did it in 1993 and they're doing it again. This whole thing about FINING small businesses is the DUMBEST thing I've ever heard. That'll kill this thing before it ever gets off the ground.
