   Caro, although you beat me to this on BuzzFlash [grrr! ;-)], here’s my commentary on the article from PP.

   For me, personally, health care is the single most important issue in this election out of self interest. The inability to get coverage due to preexisting conditions, led to the inability to get the care and medicines I needed to treat those conditions, which in turn led to deterioration and the inability to work. I see a plan in which I will likely be one of the 22 million left uninsured, at least until I am approved for SSDI, and under which I will have to pay back premiums if ever my condition becomes so serious that I have to visit an emergency room (per Obama’s statement in the last debate), as a direct threat to my life. For me, personally, Obama’s plan is no better than what the GOP has to offer.

   Apparently, I’m not the only one who feels that health care is the most important issue in the campaign. In our current poll, health care leads all other issues, when compared to them, head-to-head.

   I still have not decided whom I shall support. Obama’s superior foreign policy positions are also important. I would hate to be put into the position having to choose between voting for the good of the country on foreign policy and voting for my own health care needs.

   Obama needs to change his policy on health care. That will entail admitting that he was wrong, but if he truly wants to represent change, he owes the American people an “I was wrong” on health care as much as Clinton owes us an “I was wrong” on Iraq.
