As I see it Obama's attempt to reform the health care system in the United States is rather conservative and timid. It is ironically the same sort of reform that Mitt Romney introduced when he was Governor of Masschussets.
For instance if I were President Obama I would forbid health insurance compaines from making a profit on basic health insurance. Although I would also eliminate the need for employers to contribute to the health expenses of their employees and directly subside the health insurance costs of those who can't afford health insurance.
So I am simply amazed by the response by some in the United States to this. It is little wonder why the United States is increasingly considered the laughing stock of the Western World. Indeed when I despair over how our political environment is like in Australia now, I can take comfort it is nowhere near as bad as that of the United States.
To give an example of this insanity I perceve in US politics, in Australia and other Western Nations my political views put me firmly in the middle, if not on the centre-right. However in the USA these same views would put me on the extreme left.
