First, there is no reason for the federal government to pay for kids healthcare to age 25. You mentioned age 18, and that would at least create room for debate. Yet, the bill allows for age 25.

Second, you state “There are many reasons why so many Americans are finding themselves uninsured. The decline in the economy over the past few years has resulted in more individuals finding themselves in situations such as being unemployed or underemployed”. I just don’t see how you can make this statement. The current unemployment rate in the United States is amazingly low, in most states less than 5%. A bad economy is what Jimmy Carter left us with, not todays situation. I remember my parents haveing something around 15% intrest rate on their house in the late 1970s. I also sat in the endless gas lines to fill my car, that was bad.

Third, you indicate the number of un insured keeps going up. That is true, but our population keeps going up as well. The numbers that they census uses has a flaw. It is the number of people without insurance at any one time. If I loose my job this year and change insurance, I am going to be counted as part of the uninsured, which won’t really be true. Other groups rate the number of uninsured as low as 22 million in the U.S. This crazy number of 47 million uninsured keeps getting tossed around as gospel and that is not correct, it is based on limitations in the methodology.

I own a company and our employees pay a net of $30 a month for healthcare premiums. Anyone with a job can afford this.

If you want to see what Hillary’s or Obama’s plan would look like, just read the history on Tenncare in Tennessee. It’s basically the same plan and it nearly sent Tennessee into bankruptcy. It’s not the way. The same people that can’t get my drivers license to me correctly shouldn’t run healthcare.
