			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Healthcare is a tough topic, no doubt about that. And changes have to be made, noone disagrees with that. INCLUING REPUBLICANS. That&#8217;s right if anyone cared to watch C-SPAN or C-SPAN2 and inform themselves about the reality of the situation they would see that republicans don&#8217;t oppose change&#8230; They just oppose massive and needless changes.</p>
<p>And on this topic. I&#8217;ll be honest. I agree with Republicans about healthcare (mostly). For those of you that are leftists and don&#8217;t have an open mind, and want to get this passed now regardless of the 10-20 year consequences, that&#8217;s fine you can stop reading now.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m here to talk to everyone that has an open mind and is willing to think and challenge their &#8216;leaders&#8217;. And i&#8217;m going to talk about this bill by talking about something everyone knows and should have been to and should have learned from&#8230;</p>
<p>I&#8217;m going to talk about an experence everyone had.</p>
<p>KINDERGARTEN</p>
<p>Yes, i&#8217;m going to try to convince you that this healthcare bill is a bad idea based on what I learned in kindergarten. Healthcare is a massive issue, and there are massive amounts of people in this country that don&#8217;t have health insurance (for whatever reason) and can only get healthcare by waiting until it&#8217;s a major problem and going to the E.R. (if they don&#8217;t have a savings account to pay for it out of). To the majority of Americans that is unacceptable. Myself included.</p>
<p>Another major problem is those that have pre-existing conditions find themselves uninsured. This in my opinion is the largest problem facing our healthcare industry right now.</p>
<p>So all in all, it&#8217;s a big problem, a massive problem&#8230; In kindergarten, what was the first thing you were taught to do when face a problem? For me it was very simple, break it down into very small problems and take them one at a time, see if they help the situation over time, if not undo them and try something else.</p>
<p>So, why shouldn&#8217;t congress do that? Why should it pass a super huge bloated bill that tries to fix everything at the same time. I&#8217;m sure some of the things in there will do well, and some clearly will not (everyone admits this). So why even do the things that won&#8217;t work!?</p>
<p>Why not just pass 100-200 smaller bills that can be easily undone if they don&#8217;t work? Why not fix the topics one at a time? This would be my solution. Fix the problems one at a time, and see where they stand with the populace of this great country of ours. I bet most of the country would support something to put people with pre-existing conditions that have been denied private insurance on medicare or medicaid. I also bet people would oppose the idea of people with pre-existing conditions put into a new bureaucracy to handle &#8220;all Americans&#8221;.</p>
<p>And that&#8217;s how I see this problem. Rip it apart&#8230; Make it many smaller problems&#8230; Take them one by one. Why can&#8217;t the people in Washington take the simple straightforward answer?</p>
<p>The only time I want them to act like children, they refuse to.</p>
<p>So, in short, I oppose some of the things in this bill, but I am also in favor of some of this thing about this bill&#8230; However, I think this bill should be defeated because of it&#8217;s SIZE&#8230;</p>
