Scary times, indeed. These are the very things that are at the top of my concern list when it comes to a presidential election.

Personally my favorite spin line is the bit about Obama putting more government between women and doctors…..as if we’re going to mistake WHICH candidate is anti-choice.

I meant “OR a disease diagnosis.” Duh.

I cannot understand that email from McCain’s camp. Wha? McCain is NOT the working woman’s friend. Proven time and again. Education and training, my ample ass.

Sorry, I tend to get frothy mouthed at PR Spin like that. And the health insurance thing scares the hell out of me. I’m luckily in the position that either my job or my husband’s job can cover our family if something happens to one of our positions, but that’s not the case for everyone I know, and I have a friend who is facing the question of whether or not she can afford to start a family because she would have to pay the entire prenatal care and maternity bill herself. If something more serious happens to her, like an accident of a disease diagnosis, I wonder what kind of crunch she’d be in then. That’s just for one person!

Thanks for the link to that article on Obama’s plan for working women. Off to read it now.

What a scary thing! I continue to be astonished that Americans have tolerated this for so long. I think it’s because it used to be that only poor people had insurance problems, or those facing catastrophic situations. As businesses cut back, more and more people are affected. As awful as is, at least maybe it will put all the passively upset about “those poor people who don’t have insurance” into an OH MY GOD mode and get us past all the special interests who have prevented the change so far. I’ve met some insurance industry lobbyists and, well, they’re tough, nasty folks. Really.
Erin, thanks though for the proactive approach of bringing this great comparison to all of us.

Petman and I are forced to purchase our own health insurance. It is not what I would call affordable. I’ve been trying to offset costs by stretching $ as far as it will go, but it’s very sad when you have to choose between food and health insurance.

Something needs to be done.

We entered this race with baggage, the increasing perilous nature of our economy makes it imperative that these men address the fundamental issues we are facing. I still have the heart and spirit of an optimist, but must admit the past year has taken its toll. I hope that once we cast our votes we can look forward to redirecting “our course.”
