Let's take a few minutes and talk simply about universal health care and why I think it's a good thing for America.

The debate on universal health care has raged for years, especially now as the 2008 elections draw closer. We can attribute much to the growing disappointment and disgust toward our current health care system. With potential change in sight, many - including president candidates - have raised their voices for reform. Universal health care, which will provide coverage for every resident regardless of income, is a particularly contentious proposal.

The President vetoed a children's health insurance expansion bill today, just like he said he would.

Typical.

Despite considerable bipartisan opposition, the will of millions of Americans worried about keeping their kids healthy, and logic itself, President Bush has stuck to his guns and stayed the course.
