<p style="text-align: center; ; overflow: hidden; color: #999999;">Obama on Health Insurance</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
                  &#13;</p>
<p class="releaseDateline">Jacksonville, FL (PRWEB) October 26, 2008 </p>
<p> November 4th America will finally take to the polls and elect the next president of the United States. Florida health insurance web, a free health insurance consulting service based in Jacksonville, said &#8220;after looking at the two candidates, and their position on health insurance we have decided to endorse Barack Obama for President.&#8221; </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The independent health insurance web site has held off on endorsing a candidate based on the health insurance issue. &#8220;I was hoping McCain might have changed his tax credit position, but it seems the current economic conditions are keeping McCain on the wrong side of the fence,&#8221; said Moran.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The health insurance broker went on to say that &#8220;Barack Obama believes health insurance is a right to each American&#8221; He also believes that &#8220;Obama elected on November 4th will force health insurance companies to scramble to come up with better more affordable plans, before the new plans go into effect&#8221; &#8220;The net result of this rush to the marketplace is, lower priced premiums first, then better benefits and overall lower prices&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Morgan Moran also said that &#8220;if you are one of the 3 million in Florida without health insurance a vote for Obama will mean health insurance anyone can afford&#8221;. Obama has touted his health plan often, which is similar to the Clinton Health care plan. Obama, speaking at the last presidential debate said &#8220;Health insurance is a right&#8221; something that every person living in America should have. He went on to explain his plan, &#8220;If you have health insurance right now, and you are happy with it, you can keep it.&#8221; &#8220;If you want a better health insurance policy, the same policy that is available to Senator McCain, or myself; will be available to you.&#8221; &#8220;We can do that because of all the people taking advantage of the same policy that prices will go down&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Moran, the health insurance broker said his endorsement is based on several health insurance issues, namely &#8220;Obama believes that the millions of Americans who can&#8217;t take their children to a doctor when they get sick have that right&#8221; said Moran. Obama speaking in Iowa said &#8220;We now face an opportunity &#8211; and an obligation &#8211; to turn the page on the failed politics of yesterday&#8217;s health care debates.&#8221;  &#8220;It&#8217;s time to bring together businesses, the medical community, and members of both parties around a comprehensive solution to this crisis, and it&#8217;s time to let the drug and insurance industries know that while they&#8217;ll get a seat at the table, they don&#8217;t get to buy every chair.&#8221; </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><i>Question by ElwaytheCat</i>: Why is it that straw polls mean so little but cause so much excitement?</strong></p>
<p>http://www.abc12.com/story/15240227/iowa-straw-poll-part-circus-part-politics</p>
<p>Despite its name, however, the &#8220;straw poll&#8221; is not a poll at all &#8211; and it&#8217;s certainly not scientific.</p>
<p>Rather, it&#8217;s a fundraiser for the state GOP and a daylong political festival at Iowa State University. Presidential candidates make speeches and try to lure the most supporters to the event &#8211; with promises of food, live music and, sometimes, a lift to the site &#8211; in hopes of getting their backing in a nonbinding vote. The labor-intensive exercise gives candidates a chance to test their campaign operations and turn out supporters ahead of the winter caucuses.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s the first test of organizational strength,&#8221; said Steve Scheffler, a Republican who leads the Iowa Christian Alliance.</p>
<p>Past results have a mixed record of accurately predicting who is going to win the winter caucuses, much less who is heading to the White House.</p>
<p><strong>Best answer:</strong></p>
<p><i>Answer by First Lady &#8217;61-&#8217;63 ™</i><br/>The first excitement for Republicans. Bless &#8216;em.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><i>Question by King BO &#8216;n Michelle Antoinette</i>: Will any Liberals admit the latest Government PROPAGANDA&#8230;I mean GM Commercial, is intellectually dishonest?</strong><br />
General Motors is running ads claiming that it repaid its tax-funded bailout `in full,` but neglecting to mention that it used even more bailout money for the payment.<br />
Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley said, `It appears to be nothing more than an elaborate TARP money shuffle.` </p>
<p>Even worse, the company owes its pension funds over $  12 billion. GM was given over $  50 billion in funding. Most of it was an `investment,` the rest was a `loan.` GM paid back the `loan,` but the government is still on the hook for the $  43 billion investment. </p>
<p>Overall the auto sector has unfunded pension liabilities of about $  77 billion.</p>
<p>http://www.coosavalleynews.com/np85021.htm</p>
<p>They claim to have &#8216;paid back&#8217; the bailout, but fail to mention they paid it back with bailout money.<br />
Either way, we the taxpayers have NOT been paid back at all. Understand???</p>
<p><strong>Best answer:</strong></p>
<p><i>Answer by A. Kari</i><br/>I dunno. I didn&#8217;t really over-think the commercial like you did. You got really deep.</p>
