That's Fit

Just when it seemed like things couldn't possibly get any more crazy in this year's election, this past weekend Ralph Nader decided to throw his hat into the ring.

The third-party, independent candidate made his announcement this past Sunday. If he is able to get enough signatures, Nader's name will once again appear on the presidential ballot. What does Nader bring to the table that the other candidate's don't? Well, according to Mr. Nader, there are several things. But, what many people find most intriguing is his proposed "Medicare for All" program.

Whereas all other candidates have not supported single payer health insurance, Nader is a proponent of such a system. On his website, www.votenader.org, he states that he supports a "Canadian style, free choice, Medicare for all health care system."

How do you feel about Mr. Nader's efforts to join the race for the presidency? And, do you think his Medicare for all program is a good idea?

I just overheard some women chatting at lunch today about the "hotness" of Governor Mitt Romney. Will that help him in this election? All of the polls and newscasters are predicting Senator John McCain to win the most delegates today, Super Tuesday. Hmmm. Maybe Mitt's sexiness will help him pull ahead.

I just bring up the question, because the chatty ladies put it in my head. I do agree though, that Romney is a looker. If I were a single lady and he were a single man.......I'd let him take me to lunch. But, that doesn't really sway me. I'm not that type of voter. I actually think extremely highly of both candidates. I do find it funny in fact, that Mitt's looks haven't been a topic.

Sometime today, Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Clinton will suggest a required amount of insurance for all U.S. citizens -- and cost the federal government about $110 billion.

The health care plan is expected to be announced while Clinton tours Iowa today as she gives a speech centered on health care policy in the U.S.

As expected from the Democratic Senator, those unable to afford health care and/or insurance would receive subsidies from the government. Additionally, large businesses would be require to help pay for their employee's coverage -- or even provide it completely.

What do you think?
