Writer's Block: Happy birthday Mr. President!

[Error: unknown template qotd]

OMG, just get national healthcare already!!! I really don't know what people are so scared of... having now lived in two countries with socialized medicine, I can say from experience that it is a WONDERFUL thing. The problem is that the US will never do it RIGHT. Obama's original ideas were great, but due to America's fear of "socialism," they've been watered down so much that they really aren't going to make the system work like it should. People should have affordable healthcare, period. It is a basic human right. It is one of the main reasons I have no plans to leave Japan any time soon, and hope to return to England rather than back home to the US if I ever do.

I agree fully. I grew up in Canada, and the idea that I could be in debt for the rest of my life if I get in some sort of terrible accident now that I'm in the states is horrifying. Seriously horrifying.
