Healthcare.
The last time I can remember hearing so much about "socialized" medical care was was when Bill and Hillary Clinton tried to bring it in 15 years ago. Canada's system was demonized then as now. Its too bad most americans won't hear the truth, which is: it ain't perfect but it works for us. I don't know if a similiar system would work in the U S of A. But surely some smart people could figure out a way to make it work. A noted conservative voice recently acknowledged that how Armed Forces personnel get their medicare was the finest the government could offer and then backpedaled when pressed about the government being able to deliver quality healthcare to the general public. I feel Obama has to keep the pressure and make this happen now because the Democrats are going to get pummeled in the next round of mid-term elections (how badly depends on the economy). Make it so Mr. President.
