Commentary: Where are the young voices on health care?
You'd think they'd learn to keep paying us attention after all the voting is over. After all, if you got us to vote for you, then the only way to retain our support is to continue listening to us.
Now, I haven't been paying much attention to the President's speeches on health reform, but I doubt there's been one peep from him about how it would affect our generation. That's not to say that it shouldn't also take into consideration the problems of the older generations. But, as the commentary stated: We're the ones who'll have to live with it the longest.
You'd think, as a father, the President would take that into consideration. After all, he took his daughters into consideration when he talked about how he wants to do away with the glass ceiling. Why not with health reform as well?
I've not attended college classes in four years, but I've only just managed to find health insurance, and even that's shaky with only one permanent part-time job, and one seasonal part-time job.
I guess we'll continue to see how this drama unfolds.
