Is Health Care a TOP priority right NOW?, (Edison State College), Cheri Wine.
NO!!!!!!! Did someone say JOBS??? YES Jobs, Jobs, More JObs!!!!! Maybe that idea looks at this from a conflict perspective, but we got bigger problems right now than this immediate urge to reform Health Care, right?. Which, one president, one bill, one party, isn’t enough to reform Health Care in this country, right? Liberal icon, Democratic Senator Edward Kennedy’s mission was universal health care and he was in the Senate for over 40 years. Now, in Massachusetts, Republican Scott Brown has won Kennedy’s seat in congress. Having a republican in that seat creates the republicans 41st vote they need to block legislation in the Senate! 61% say it’s time for congress to drop health care. 59% say the Obama administration should wait on health care reform until the economy improves. 73% of voter’s say it’s time for legistration to turn their attention to more immediate issues like the economy and job creation. Look at these number! 1.4 trillion deficit, 15.3million unemployed, Afghanistan, Iraq, 1.6 trillion in war costs, increase in the homeless 1.5 million (one out of 50 is a child), 1.5 million homes in foureclosure. America has several issues to consider as priority. Now with the posibility of a filibuster in the Senate house in regards to the Health Care Reform bill, I feel we should take the time to explore public opinion together, as I further my research and document my findings. I am making this blog entry my exploration (survey, if you will) to public opinion. I will have follow up blogs to document our progress and my research to find the best and most educated answer to this question. Is Health care a top priority righ now?
So, what do you think and WHY? (responding earns points 
- Yes, it’s top priority.
- No, it’s not.
- Undecided.
Respond to this blog! Together we can learn more about this subject and understand better why or why not congress should continue to push Health Care Reform. I will explore
VOTE, VOTE, VOTE, VOTE, VOTE, VOTE, VOTE…………… Yes/No/Undecided?????????

Yes, health-care is a top priority! This issue deals with lives! Health-care is a right! Every person should have the right to seek out health-care is this day and age. stephanie jones (edison) comment

This is usually a really easy question to answer, but what makes it so complex is when you say RIGHT NOW!!! With the way war has come upon us for some apparent reason and our troops are sacrificing their lives I don’t think Health-care is a top priority right now. Of course there is more to the reasoning of war but now that we are over there we can’t back out now. We have started something that must be finished and if we back out it makes our nation look weak and who knows what will happen. This war has brought many problems into our nation and has given top priorities in the past less value today.

It’s somewhat questionable to start a survey when you’ve already indicated the answers that you would like.
