The Story
CHICAGO — Barack Obama, back in his home town after a tour of Afghanistan, the Middle East and Europe, saw a doctor at the University of Chicago Medical Center on Sunday night to deal with a sore hip, inflamed from playing basketball.
My POV (POV = point-of-view)
1) Obama promises that when he’s elected, we’ll get exactly the same health care that Senators get.
Does that mean that my doctor will see me on a Sunday night (for “soreness” no less) instead of telling me that the next open appointment slot is 6 weeks from Tuesday at 1:46 — come early, but plan to wait?
Must be, because Obama certainly wouldn’t think of accepting preferential care, right?
2) Why do all of the candidates confuse “medical insurance” with “health care” ? The former is just money; the latter is fundamental service delivery. Two different things !
Amen.

It’s inappropriate and disappointing that you would question Sen. Obama’s personal and private medical care decisions. This is the old style of politics that seeks to divide people based on what the believe is the right thing for the country. As Sen. Obama has told us, we need to change this situation and restore hope. From the founding of America, the bright light of hope has brought people to her shores, in hopes of making changes that bring about a better life. We must not lose our hope in change; we must not change our faith in hope.
Who knew you could run a presidential campaign like a mad-lib?
