The facts are that the only reason SS is in such trouble is that since the Regan administration the government having been borrowing (misappropriation) from the SS fund. Think about it. They say we baby boomers are draining the fund. The truth is we have put more in that any generation since social security started. We are working more years and paying higher premiums. At the end of the Clinton administration we had enough to right this wrong. Bush however choose to give tax breaks to the most wealthy and hocus pocus it’s gone.

Health Care will be like now. The difference is this time it will be affordable to all. There will be a public plan and a private plan.

For people who can afford to choose a better private plan, that will be a choice.

As usual, there will be employer participation. The price of health care will go down when the layers of bureaucracy is cut down to size. The medical offices will have to deal with a single payer (the govt.) compared to dealing with many different health insurance providers and HMOs complicating their practices.

The benefits these HMOs provide are varied as there are as many kinds of orchids. Some HMOs are embroiled in scams and were indicted for defrauding the govt. …being run like mafia operations.

Obama will work at reducing the cost on health insurance where everyone can afford it, either through their employer or privately, not necessarily meaning the government will pay for all of it.

It isn’t going to be easy, but a start
