If I could slip health care into a Valentine, I would.
Health care--or the lack thereof--is a huge concern for so many in our country.
My son--a college student--will remain covered under my plan until graduation--just a few months away.
My daughter--a severe asthmatic--must utilize the emergency rooms, the health care plan of the Bush administration.
For my children--the twenty-somethings, caught between college and that great job with benefits--I want their hearts to remain healthy as both are my everyday Valentines.
But health has a price in this country.
Hillary Clinton is running a campaign commercial in Wisconsin that describes her health plan. As much I want my family covered, I don't want health insurance mandated as she so states.
The Frog views "universal health care" as an assist, a helping hand--it's there when needed.
Once the job is landed with this huge bennie, then the help offered by our government is no longer needed. Should something happen with the job, health care would be one less thing to worry about.
You-me-my kids--can reach out for coverage in the interim.
The Clinton plan will require everyone to buy health insurance. Opting out is not a choice. She has said herself, wages would be garnished--an enforcement system will be in place.
As a Frog who doesn't quite take to being told what I will and will not do, such an edict doesn't sit too well with me.
I prefer to keep my present insurance while others are helped through a single-payer delivery plan, as offered Barack Obama's.
The theme of personal responsibility is interwoven into his plan for American health coverage.
Health care with Heart.

Happy Valentine's Day !!!
And, too bad you were not on the side of John Edwards (for me, LOL) because YOU are a powerful voice.
I could have supported Edwards as the nominee...but now, I just hope he does one of two right things--endorses Obama or keeps his endorsement to himself.
Now that the dam has burst for Hillary, people can't keep from saying bad things about her and hubby, Bill.
I can't count their machine out though--those two want the White House and if Edwards falls into that bad crowd, he will prove--he's just like them, just after the power.
Happy belated "V" Day back to you!

i've gotten mail from his campaign. no indication. just still trying to keep poverty in the message.
Wish I shared your feelings !!! (i've tried, it's kinda like wben I tried to learn to like beer. Just didn't happen)
Doesn't matter, you're still my fave person in the blogosphere and the best writer I read on a daily basis.
May the best 'historic' candidate win.
Majikthise had an interesting post on the msm 'horserace' spin.
Above all else, I'm really sick of them. (msm)
I recently listened to the audio of The Audacity of Hope"...I think you may learn a lot more about Obama if you read a bit of this...it's interesting, his take on the media, how they don't cover the facts, just the story of the minute--he has great thoughts on the Constitution as well.
I'm getting sick of the race calling myself...I'm trying to take a break from listening to it 24/7.
Thanks for the compliments....I wonder sometimes if anyone is reading and if so, how in the world they found the Frog...
