Benefits Brief:

We all want better health care and would do almost anything to get better if we, are one of our family members, were seriously ill. So, will the O'Bama administration implement a better healthcare system than we currently have? If he does, who will pay - Corporate America, doctors, insurance companies, us. Nothing is free.

Are we moving toward socialized medicine? While I think we need changes, I'm not convinced that socialized medicine is the answer. I've traveled to Canada and talked about health care with local residents. It is not uncommon for Canadians to come to the USA for treatment because it can take months to get the appropriate care they need in Canada. Think about that. You have cancer and need treatment now. Are you going to wait 3 months to get into a doctor's office? While it may be free or inexpensive to receive health care in Canada what good is it if you can't get the care you need when you need it?
