One of the major issues the candidates have been raising is health care. Health care is a real issue for this country. I know many of you have health care so you don't see how hard it can be without it. If you have any sort of health problem, the premiums for health care are ridiculously high. So high, many people just can't pay them. That is if you are not denied outright.
In IL, the insurance companies can not just deny you anymore but they can increase the regular rate by 67% if you have health issues. I personally have had insurance issues and know how hard it can be.
Sen. Obama has a quote on his website I liked. If only a politician would follow through: "It's time to bring together businesses, the medical community, and members of both parties around a comprehensive solution to this crisis, and it's time to let the drug and insurance industries know that while they'll get a seat at the table, they don't get to buy every chair." -Barack Obama, Speech in Iowa City, IA, 5/27/07."
