While the healthcare system does need improvement if Americans take the time to research and find the right plan it can at least be manafeable. The Medicare system is getting better also. There are many more options these days for medicare insurance. I think it all depends on making wise decisions I believe the key to quality healthcare is in choosing the right plan.

We produce professional content for the times, but are as snarky and opinonated on our website as other bloggers. I was getting the director of the Southern Baptist Convention to talk with us, and had to explain that the website was for "uncut" footage - to explain the more cavalier, less professional attutude from the website.

As a serving member of the Armed Forces I have served and visited your country on numerous occasions, and notwithstanding the political or social arguments about the war in Iraq (another argument) - you are the greatest political power on the planet; the land that rightly or wrongly will pontificate to other countries what is right/wrong and at times such a forward thinking country......so why isn't this the right time for either of the above - surely to have either one of these candidates for President (subject to winning the caucuses) can only be good for the development of the US?

It's basically hands-off on Obama. Hillary Clinton appears to get the highest negative coverage and John Edwards is mostly ignored. He has to fight for media coverage and go non-stop. While Obama gets his rest, exercise and herbal teas. I'm also tired of Obama's boasting about his anti-war stance. He was not in the senate when his anti-war stance would have mattered. More disturbing he lacked back bone and was conveniently absent during the Iran vote. While the three other democratic presidential candidates took time off from their campaigns and voted.

And thank you to President Bartlett (M. Sheen) for his enthusiastic endorsement of Gov. Richardson. I hope the people of Sioux City (my mother was born and raised in S.C.) and the entire state of Iowa realize that not only is Richardson the most experienced, but he has the greatest ability to turn red states blue next November.
