Of the many issues the 2008 Presedential campaign focused on, Health Care has proven to be the most difficult issue to address, reform, and resolve. From fears of a socialistic system, to fighting for a chance for all Americans to receive necessary health care, this issue has sparked controversy throughout the American populous. Consequently, the Health Care issue has been on the "front page" of nearly every news source. Here are a few video clips from traditional news sources as well as more "infotainment" news sources. They each highlight certain aspects of this issue. Which aspects are more appealing to you?

This issue is discussed so often nowadays, but it seems that it never goes in depth enough to fully understand the effects of what certain changes could have for the economy.
Just from the video shown on C-Span, Obama's speech seeks to raise emotions about those that suffer from the system in place, and the viewers applaud, but no mention of how that care is going to be paid for is even mentioned until the end.
And other methods to shake efforts of reform such as criticizing Obama are not going to get us anywhere either as seen in the other posted vid.
It is a complex issue that raises more than economic concerns, but also moral concerns in how much care is given to those that can't pay. And then who pays if they can't.
There is so much to discuss about health care but this post is just about the influence and methods of the media so I will end my rant here.
