A good speach, but...

Nobody knows how this will pan out or if Obama's reassurances to people's fears will prove valid. However, I have to say I liked it overall. What hurt the cause of Republicans most was the childish outburst of Rep. Joe Wilson of South Carolina, who yelled out: "you lie!" when the President said that this universal healthcare plan would not cover illegal aliens.

I'm sure it is not the intention of them to cover illegals. But of course, who knows what ways they could fraudulently get it??? Anyhow, the immature prick of a Congressman did not prove anything by whipping up anti Obama frevor. It's kind of like them objecting to Obama's speech to school children that was carefully made non-partisan following the initial uproar before the speech.

More important, and totally unprovable, are Obama's claims that it will be revinue neutral and save money. I would not even believe that about a Republican plan, necessarily. Healthcare costs money, period.

The best thing Americans can do in the mean time is to try the best to live a healthy life and stop habits that harm their health. Keep more of what you earn and out of your doctor's pocket.
