Obama: Healthcare

Would require that all children have health insurance; aims for universal coverage
Require employers to provide insurance or contribute to the cost, but exempt smallest businesses, and reimburse all employers for catastrophic health costs.
Provide subsidies for low-income people.
Create purchasing pool with choice of competing private plans and one public plan like Medicare.
Make plans portable from job to job.
Expand Medicaid and State Children̢۪s Health Insurance Program.
Prohibit insurance companies from denying coverage to people with health problems or charging them higher rates. (nytimes.com)

I agree with Obama because he thinks that lower-class people should have better health care. And also he says that jobs should have health care benefits, and i also think they should. I say all this because most people can't afford doctors bills.

i agree with obama because he believe that people in the lower class should have affordable health care. also he is saying that jobs should have benefits for health care which is a really god thing. i believe this because some people in the lower class can't make ends meet enough to pay for their health issues and with what obama is trying to do will make it better for them.
