Health Care - it's all the rage

In a recent email battle with Kevin, my conservative nemisis, I found myself stumped. When asked why--since it was, in my opinion, such a grand idea--Hillary Clinton had not proposed her new plan to revamp the health care policy of the federal government to fellow senators for a vote, I didn't have an answer. Clinton's great idea to make health care mandatory will have to wait until she is elected president--assuming she remains as popular as she is currently.

So Clinton, along with several other front-runners, obstensibly has such this great plan that will benifit the nation, yet apparently doesn't feel that it is good enough to propose for a vote in the senate. Senators work together to come up with a law that will benefit the nation, but in this case, Clinton is too busy parading around the country spouting off on the pitfalls of the current health care policy to enact actual change.

Obama, McCain and Kucinich are equally guilty. These candidates would rather talk of what they would do as president than perform their job as senator. Guiliani, Thompson, Romney and Edwards do not currently work in the public sector to enforce any sort of policy change, although my guess is that they would do no different.
