Election '08 - Vote for Better Migraine and Headache Care

I was checking it out this morning!! I thought this is the coolest thing! I emailed the link to like EVERYONE!!! How cool! I love how it's so interactive too! I can't wait to get home and show DH - he is going to get a kick out of this!

We have been following all the election stuff this year and really pulling for our canditate!!!!

Thank you Teri and Health Central! This is just the best!!!

isn't the ONLY way the candidates are being judged by everyone here. The graph seems to be stated in such terms as to make the candidates seem like perhaps they all haven't been as thoughtful as they could be and that this is the ONLY way to judge them. I'm certainly not.

I do think healthcare is important but it doesn't RULE my entire life. My family pays a LOT for healthcare because my DH is employed in a tiny company--6 people strong. It is dang expensive, I promise you. In his old company, it was very nice to have virtually everything paid for BUT I for one do NOT want to live under a system anywhere close to that of Canada's (please, no offense meant to anyone there nor to anyone in Great Britain) where one has to wait months for treatment or has to be on a waiting list even for a primary care doctor. I know it can be much worse than the way things are now and I don't want to live like that.

My DH did live for many years as a Navy brat and said that the somewhat socialized medicine in that system was no picnic. He agrees that whatever we pay now is worth the cost just for the choices we have. We do complain about the prices-- For example, the drug costs are steep nowadays!! (Try over 6 times as expensive as before when the BIG Company paid for things.) It is tough but we personally think the choice is worth paying more to have it.

That being said, WAY COOL to have all this laid out in such a neat-looking way, Teri! You did a nice job presenting it. I just hope that thought is given to the candidates on ALL the issues and that healthcare isn't the only issue being looked at here. Hugs....
