The Laundrylistpicture is a watercolour 4x6 by Diana
It is truly a significant accomplishment to have finally instituted coverage of some sort of health insurance for all Americans, including the somewhere between 30 and 50 Million people who had no medical coverage of any kind until now.
Germany....loser of two horrendeous world wars has had medical coverage since 1871, France probably has the best insurance of the western world, Britain has covered their people for some time and Canada has been with a countrywide healthplan administered by the provinces for almost two generations.
The USA should look at this as an opportunity as this new situation will undoubtedly create many rewarding careers although it is presently viewed as a considerable new tax burden.
I have been subjected to this totally ridiculous situation of finding myself without medical coverage about ten years ago. One afternoon at an Orlando Florida area hospital to check me out for a possible pnemonia problem ended up costing over $2500, I can just imagine how many poor americans end up bankrupt because of an accident or medical condition and the lack of medical expense coverage.
Hurray for Mr.Obama, he and those who stuck with him on this most difficult undertaking accomplished what no other american leader of the past 100 years have been able to do.
Let me recall his laundry-list:
Healthcareplan for all Americans
End the war in Iraq..Afghanistan
Close Q camp in Cuba
Resolve ever increasing unemployment in Aberica problem
Unexpected additional mess left by Bush ll:
Collapse of the financial system with worldwide consequences,AEG and big banks multibilliondollar bailout
Almost total demise of GM and Chrysler, financial assistance to restructure these auto giants
