I am definitely ready for a woman to be the President of the United States of America. Mostly because of what she is willing to fight for. She believes that the people of America should have national health insurance. I always thought that health insurance was affordable for people that could not afford the high premiums. I was definately wrong about that, because now that I am a single mother I have experienced nothing but a struggle to hold on to health insurance every year. For the first time in years last year my son and I spent 9 months without any health insurance and now the months are adding up for this year. I have had to spend most of my time worrying about these questions,"what if my son gets sick, what will I do?" I have realized during my dilema that there are hundreds of thousands of American citizens that work two to three jobs daily just to survive and they still cannot afford to pay for health insurance.
The sad thing is it does not matter if you are in good health and rarely go to the doctor, because if you do have health insurance it will go up every single year no matter what. I think that this is absolutely preposterous. Many people have fought and died in wars so that we can have the freedom that we all possess. I think that it is sad that there are countries like Canada that have already given their citizens national health insurance and that our great country only wants to offer their citizens so called affordable health insurance. The key word is affordable, but the question is who is it really affordable for? There are always people who do not have to worry about money so this is not even an issue for them. I believe that Barrack Obama is one of those people. He can never truely understand what it feels like to not be able to go to the doctor for a yearly check up or when you are really sick. Hilary Clinton sympathizes with the need and the urgency for us all to have health insurance and I believe that she should be the next President.
