Our healthcare system has take a centerpiece in the upcoming election. Our economic well-being is tied closely to our own health.

Take a look at Kaisernetwork.org for some general, unbiased information.

"With health care emerging as a top domestic issue in the 2008 presidential election, Kaiser presents health08.org, a website providing analysis of health policy issues, regular public opinion surveys, and news and video coverage from the campaign trail."

The go take a look atBusinesses Discuss Universal Healthcare : WFMZ-TV 69News:

"It's a hot topic among the presidential candidates. Thursday morning, universal health care was the buzz among local business owners. They discussed the pros and cons over breakfast in Bethlehem.WFMZ's Eve Tannery takes us there. I think it's not an important program...it's a critical program."

The topic? How universal health care would affect businesses ... and their pockets. Lobbyist Vince Phillips, from the Pennsylvania Association of Health Underwriters, led the discussion for members of the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce at a breakfast meeting.

Our businesses can no longer carry health insurance for the population. Time for the business and the non-business side of the national healthcare debate to join forces. Time for us to question why the United States is the only first world country not to provide national healthcare. Time for us to question the politicians lamenting "socialized" medicine and who they are they truly working for.
