Now what?

As you might know, (unless you leave under a rock) we have a new pressident-elect.

We are amidst a great time in history, and depending on his leadership we can break through and overcome one of the greatest problems in America, or we could go the opposite way and really handicap us in the race to become once again the undisputed greatest country in the world.

I want to talk about our Health System. President-Elect Obama has a specific plan for us, and I hope it works. According to his plan, every American will have access to the same type of Health Care that Congress has -and if individuals decide that this plan is not enough- individuals can stay in the health plan that they currently have. Will it work? Only time will tell. Personally, I would rather have universal health care, but I don't believe a total reshaping of our system can happen in our lifetime.

Why is this so important? Well, a simple example is our Auto Industry. Every German car sold (that was built in Germany) has a larger margin of profit just because no German company has to pay ANY percentage of it's employees health care. On the other hand, every car built in America has attached to it's cost the percentage that the company has to pay for it's employees health insurance. In other words a smaller margin of profit. Now, multiply that by all of the products produced in the US. Is this an advantage to the socialist countries?

Do we need to reform our health care? Almost everyone (conservative or liberals) would agree. Is President-Elect Obama's solution, the best solution? Only time will tell.
