7. I totally agree

Trying to get a single payer system is a great idea, but it won't work as long as republicans control just one branch of congress, let alone if they keep the Senate. I have always said that Obamacare is the foundation to build on, and I agree with O'Malley that health care coast must go down. I have seen just how much healthcare costs are this year. I have seen my own bills come in from the insurance company. I have seen what the system charges, what the insurance company pays and what is left for me to pay. It's way to much and can be fixed, just like president Obama has said. Now that the Supreme Court has pretty much made this the law of the land, those changes can be implicated, when we get someone like O'Malley in the WH.

He has shown a plan for the issues that face this country, not just talking, but actual plans, and once Americans hear his ideas, things will change. The first debate is going to be his chance to show the country just how he would change things, and I think it's going to turn this race around.
