Obama healthcare team in Second Life!

the Obama/Biden team is using new technology to the fullest: online organizing through their website & Facebook are standard. But the goal of replacing 8 years of secrecy with accountability & citizen engagement could be helped tremendously using virtual worlds such as Second Life. Now the healthcare transition team sanctioned an experiment: Draxtor Despres recently participated in a community discussion on healthcare and looked at the potential....

the idea of getting all Americans better healthcare is not the problem, the problem is how it is put into action and the details. the Obama administration should really take a closer look at the system other countries have and make a fitting system based on the US people. I know, no American even trusts in it, but I urge everyone to calm down and really take a closer look into this, it doesnt take 1 day or 4 years, but it takes many more years to complete and be perfected. Give that time!

Luck has nothing to do with finding a good job or getting into college, FruitLoop. It's that attitude that makes people think they need to depend on the government for everything in the first place. You get ahead by working hard and seeking out opportunity, not waiting for "luck" to bring it to you.

Also, we already have programs in place for those who are TRULY disabled. We don't need more.

Finally, don't act like you know how well my life is going, OK? And it's "you're," not "your."

I think your being ignorant, you say people should go earn a good living what if they can't physically, or mentally? My friend thats why. Plus some people just dont have the luck to find good jobs or afford to go to college, just because someone like you has life going well for him, and sees it well in the future doens't mean people are lucky enough to have that same kind of lifestyle if they wanted it or not.

THANK YOU!!!!

Obamas so called "Universal Health Care system" caused my parents HMO to drop them like a hot potato because they were "high risk" even though theyre health has improved, Now my dad, who has a serious heart condition gets to go to the VA. OBAMA IS WALKING SESS POOL OF SOCIALIST IDEALS, IF CANADAS HEALTH CARE WAS WORTH A SQUAT, PEOPLE WOULD GO TO CANADA TO GET HEALTH CARE, AS APPOSED TO THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

There is NO SUCH THING as free healthcare, people. Wake up. Why should the tax payers pay for those who don't want to go out and earn a good living so they can buy their own healthcare? Socialism has NEVER worked and it NEVER WILL WORK.

[soldner234]

So many interesed parties who dont want to pay for their own healthcare but rather have someone else pay for it or coerce others to give it to t hem.

This is an amazing and impressive idea, so intellengent, I just love this and Obama too, spend it on the American people baby! We are gonna make it.

Oh, good. We can also use virtual dollars to pay for them. In case you haven't noticed, USA lacks trillions of dollars just to pay for today.

It's amazing the number of people who have a lot of time to live in the virtual world while those of us in the real world pay for it.
