The Right State

This is the first chance I have had to write concerning the debate, so while my comments are late, I do believe they are relevant. 

First is the fact that neither candidate had a home run.  John McCain attacked and Barack Obama parried.  That was the debate in one sentence.  That is not to say there was nothing relevant in the debates, quite the contrary.  Both sides stated their views in their normal stump speeches though Obama did say one thing that disturbed me on his healthcare plan. 

When asked if healthcare was a right or a privilege, McCain said it was a privilege with some natural equivocations.  Obama declared healthcare was a—right?  Wow!  I wonder which of the bill or rights makes healthcare a right, but that was not the only thing he said.  When McCain made some statement that Obama’s plan would require everyone to buy healthcare and all business to cover their people or else face a fine, the fine Senator from Illonios repudiated the charge.  Of course he did have one little caveat, all children must be covered under his healthcare plan.  I do not know why the media is not covering this statement because he said flat out, parents MUST cover their children under his healthcare plan.  Are you kidding me? 

As one of the self-employed people in this nation, who would face higher taxes under Obama’s tax plan, I am one of many people in this nation who do not have healthcare.  It is not that I can not afford it, we do not get sick.  Every time I go to the doctor, his office makes me fill out a new patient form because I go so seldom.  The same is true of my children.  When I need to go to the doctor, I pay for it then.  And it is a lot cheaper than health insurance.  When the government takes control of anything, the price skyrockets. 

I can not afford Obama’s healthcare plan.  I can not afford Obama’s tax plan.  We as a nation can not afford Obama.
