I am reading some of this and its ridiculous. First of all, he had to BAIL out all those industries because they were not going to be able to help them...its called the CREDIT CRUNCH!!! Google it and it will explain how bad the economy is due to BANKS, LENDERS and INVESTORS just wanting quick profit from the public regardless of the credit history. http://vimeo.com/3261363 Look at that video which clears explain the how we are in this mess. Damn, most of you people really need to get educated in different areas like politics, history and economics to even have a valued point. It makes me laugh seeing how you may not understand everything but already jump to conclusions. You guys need to wake up and stop thinking about yourselves and look at other countries that have universal health care, let's say like the people in Canada. Obama is just trying to fix a lot of problems that the U.S. has in a short amount of time. Before anyone judges, regardless of political views, needs to be open-minded to do research on all the arguments from all sides from different sources and stop jumping to conclusions from a single source or place.

I moved to the Charlotte N.C. area because of their health care facilities, because I am a cancer suvisor and had trouble finding a primary care physican because they would not accept me because I am on medicare. I have a med suppliment with blue cross, but the said the problem was the low payment from medicare.

I finally found a doctor after five months because one of my neighbors ask his doctor to take me.

This is an example of how doctors look at government controled coverage. W.B. North Carolina.
