No. I am a a big boy and am capable of providing my own health care. I think public schools are failing our country.
Both issues are important to me, and they are both very important to Hillary Clinton who has been working very hard on both of those issues for decades.
I heard her speak about both today in Jacksonville NC and I was amazed to learn things she’s done that even I didn’t know about.
People really need to look into what she’s done for this country, it’s amazing. She is intelligent and experienced, but what really gets me is how passionate she is about these issues.
With Obama we have to hope he WILL do these things, with Clinton, we just have to hope she’ll continue to do what she’s been doing all along! I’d choose the latter any day.
It is very important which is why we shouldnt let the government have a monopoly on it- then again I think individual freedom is the most important thing- the founding fathers would agree
Health insurance is no more of a federal responsibility than car- or homeowner’s insurance is
Education has too many lobbyists from the teacher’s unions that try to block any and all attention to the poor state of our education system. These unions do not want any change because that could mean their teachers could loose their jobs. Health care also has some pretty big lobbyists that try to block attention to the rising cost of insurance and medicine. What is interesting is that the education lobbyists go after getting democrats elected and the health lobbyists go after getting republicans. That is why republicans talk about education reform and democrats talk about health care reform.
I don’t believe the government should be in the business of either.
I don’t have a whole lot of concern regarding either issue. We cannot afford the health care without destroying the health care system ( we have a doctor&nurse shortage now) and I just as soon we leave some children behind so the others are low drag and can do better in school. There is always a market for the illiterate worker, particularly if we do away with the illegal immigrants.
Health care becomes important when you are 50 or above .
I believe that Health Care is important – that is why I have insurance. I do not want a European style socialist health care system since I would still have to provide for myself while not supporting others. Education is the most important. We must provide our children with the skills necessary to make it through college. The primary concern for our next President – will be Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi.
They’re both important, but having the government run health care would be a disaster for this country. Name me one social program our government has produced that isn’t mired in bureaucracy and red tape — do you honestly think they’ll get it right with health care?
P.S.: Lex is on crack — Hillary has done NOTHING for health care or for education. More lies. How can you tell when Hillary is lying? Simple: Her mouth is moving. I don’t know which is worse; the shameless liar who will say anything to get elected, or the ignorant ostriches who bury their heads in the sand and believe whatever she tells them…
Heath Care is not Washingtons job. The next president should make heath care more afforable but not universal. Universal health care is not free. You pay for it in high tax. Not to mention it will be avalible to those who enter our country though the open boarders and those who vataion here. Make sure you have a job with heath care benefits. If it does not, find a new one.
Education has become a farce in this nation! Its brought up at all elections for funding to get paid more money for more of the same! I and all the other American workers get paid increases for better productivity, doing a better job and or improving the quality of our product. If a company is paid to produce a better widget and returns with the exact same widget they would be fired! we spend 60 % of Californias budget on education and they want more and more. I’m not saying its all the teachers faults many are 1st rate and try very hard to produce sucsess but the system is needed torn down and restructured so those who are great will be rewarded and those who are there to get a guarenteed paycheck find a new line of work. and we dont owe Mexico an American Education!
If you’re not alive, you can’t be educated.
Both are major issues in this campaign. I already know that Hillary can’t fix health care (she couldn’t when she was first lady). Barack Obama addresses both issues in his campaign, and I feel that he can find a way to provide both universal health care and accessible pre-school and post-secondary education for all young people. Hillary is old school. Obama offers a whole new direction for this country.
Obama for America!
OK so I have my own health insurance. But in my state the drop out rate is like 13%. AWFUL!!! I feel that education is more important than health care.
The two are equally important.
