In addition to the community health care discussions the Obama-Biden transition team is conducting to get more input on community health needs, the campaign has started a feature on their web site called "Open for Questions" which allows anyone to ask questions to be answered by the transition team.
Questions are ranked by users, so questions that people want answers to most will be answered. You can vote or ask questions by going to their Open for Questions web page.
Many of the questions regard health care. Here are some of the most popular health care questions--
"In all other 1st world countries, there's a minimal level of universal healthcare for all citizens. What will your adminstration do to provide truly universal, affordable healthcare for all US citizens, regardless of employment status?"
"We all recognize the insurance industry is the problem, not lack of insurance--what are you going to do about getting single payer (government) health care, as other progressive countries throughout the industrialized world have done?"
"What will you do to encourage education for disease prevention ? I am talking about environmental, nutritional and exercise education. It seems a waste resources to be detecting disease when you can prevent it."
Many questions deal with frustrations over insurance and pharmaceutical companies. Other people simply want to know how and when will we have affordable health care for everyone in our country.
