It is a time to change --- Health Care Reform

After I watched the film Sicko, directed by Michael Moore. I know what is the Healthcare system like in the United States. It is quite similar with China. In China, if you were sick or ill, or women give birth or some emergency accidents happened, people are normally go to hospitals. The lucky thing is that you do not have to book appointment with any doctor, you can go to hospital directly. However, unluckily, patients normally need to pay everything, medication, fee for health checking, etc. Even though you have a job you have insurance, but employer would not pay everything for you. This is the general situation in China.

Here is a clip about President Obama on organizing for health care reform.



President Obama asks supporters to declare their support for his three core principles for health care reform, and to share their personal stories to help build support for the reforms that are so desperately needed.

However, there are some people do not agree with that. Let's see some comments of viewers.
ty2 says, 'Eff you Obama. You screw your nation over like no one before. What you have in for healthcare and what Reid and Pelosi have in it matters more than the citizens of this once great nation. Don't sit their with that smug look and tell me you are trying to make it better for me. I know as well as you do that you are a liar and a cheater and a horrible person and leader. You will give money to special interests and you will sink our country into the ground. I do not stand for this.'

says, 'The democrats don't get it. National Health care will cost over $1 trillion dollars. Do you know what a $1 trillion dollars amounts to? Imagine getting $1 every second for 11.57 days. That's $1 million dollars. $1 every second for 31.7 years is $1 billion dollars. $1 every second for 31,709 years is $1 trillion dollars. It's 2009 and we have 29,700 more years to go. Taxes are going up if you don't get it already! You democrats are crazy!'

Here is an another clip about Anti-Healthcare Reform Protests, reported by Rachel Maddow of MSNBC.
