<<<do you consider yourself a critical thinker? Please give me an example of "critical thought" on your part.>>>

Health care is something that has to be fixed. Health care is a moral issue. All the advanced countries in the world have universal health care. No one is denied access to health care. People in France, Germany, Canada, Switzerland, Great Britain, Sweden, Belgium, Ireland, Denmark, Holland, Norway, Japan, Taiwan, etc all manage to spend half what we spend and get everyone in their country covered.

China, India, and countries in Africa deny people (without means) in their country access to health care. Hint - guess what direction we should follow.

Obama has not shown me (so far) the strength required to fix health care in this country. On the other hand, the failures of the previous administration has left him with a lot of things that has to be fixed. Obama has only been in office a few months. He will need time to fix these huge problems.
