I just was watching news ticker on bloomberg channel and it says ”that oil is expected to rally/go up to or higher before mid-summer because of demand rebounding.What is all of this nonsense when we are in a global recession,people losing their jobs left and right,’’supposed to be conserving energy”,’’supposed to switch on to alternative energy & off-shore oil drilling”(what pres.obama promised in his campaign),auto makers possible bankruptcies and more possible lay-offs,people ‘’supposed to have been driving less”,and supposed to be buying small compact fuel efficient hybrid type vehicles.Were you’ll serious about carrying out these stuff or were these just empty threaths that played right into opec trap?
Will it be like 2007/2008 and wait until crude oil get back to over 5 a barrel then make more false threaths to OPEC with absolutely little to no action to back it up?

How would you solve our foreign diplomacy problems? Bomb all of our enemies? Do we start nuking Korea, Iran, Iraq, Egypt, Pakistan, Palestine China. Would that solve it? Then what do we do with all those dying people?

How would you solve our financial problems? Let every company now fail, and all the banks fail? GM fail, all housing in foreclosure, and all people on the streets?

How would you solve our health care problems? (One in four bankruptcies is now caused by inability to pay medical costs). Would you just turn away anyone and everyone who is dying if they cannot pay? If they are in a car crash, do we let them die in the wreckage if they cannot show a medical insurance card?

I find lots of you on here are big to criticize, but I find no real alternative solutions.

Take one of these and discuss it.

***Do not answer this question if you don’t have an ALTERNATIVE to universal healthcare********

Since Republicans are so against universal health care, what would you propose to fix our health care system. Please do not argue that our health care system is adequate because it is obvious that the costs are too high and too many people are uninsured. Furthermore, do not argue that only people who are "bums" don’t have healthcare because many hard-working people can’t afford it.

The article cited below discusses a recent study that concluded that 60% of bankruptcies were filed due to excessive medical bills. In fact, many of these same people had health care, which was inadequate for their bills. Do Republicans have any proposals in how to lower health care costs?

How come cons only offer obstruction and no alternative? How are we going to be able to handle over 50 million uninsured Americans? Health care costs that are sky rocketing, bankruptcies due to health care costs through the roof, emergency rooms with 12 hour plus waits for urgent problems…..

Or do cons think there is no problem and feel like sticking their head in the sand and protecting the rich and corporations is what is best for America?
Notice no solutions are being offered…come on in your own words people give me the fixes.

I see here a lot of criticism of Obama’s approach, but no alternatives. We have 40 million Americans with no access to health care. We have one of the highest rates of infant mortality outside of the third world. Medical bills are the number one reason for bankruptcies. What do you think we should do?

Ok, here is my situation.

When I was 19, I was stupid enough to let my family get a house under my name under one of those "liar loans" (the ones where they falsify tax returns to make it seem like you earn more than you actually do. The house was under two loans, I lost the house to a foreclosure. I had a car that I was not able to keep making payments on, it was repossessed. I also had a credit card that I was not able to pay back. It was also closed. (I actually had two, but I was able to pay one off)

I currently have only a pickup truck to my name.

What do you guys think I should do? Should I file for Bankruptcy? What about the foreclosures and repos? How long do they stay on my credit? And the credit card….I can probably pay that one off. (it’s in collections)

I honestly have no idea what to do. I also have a student loan i’m having trouble repaying, but I already know those are exempt from bankruptcies.

I need help…bad. Guys any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated. I realize I was living beyond my means and ultimately this is MY fault. But I want to make things right again. Thank you for your time, I know this was a very wordy question.

saying…its basically a human rights issue and saying that as rich as this country is and since all those other countries manage to provide universal low priced health care to their citizens…that the USA is actually denying him life liberty and the pursuit of happiness by having a system where a comprehensive health insurance policy for a family of 4 could easily cost ,000 and that 65% of bankruptcies are due to citizens having gotten sick etc……

what if this case went to the supreme court????

The health care system in the United States is in trouble. Many people can’t afford insurance or go to the doctor. Many bankruptcies are the cause of health care cost. Something really needs to be done in the United States to improve our health care.
