One thing about Obama's ideas that I am truly interested in is his ideas for health care. I'm a 29 year old mother of 4 who has moderate mental illness. Because we're low income, I can only afford to go to the local sliding scale clinic, which means I have no choice when it comes to finding a therapist or doctor who truly wants to help me. By the same token, because my children are on Medicaid, I can't really chose their doctor either. Medicaid assigns them. I have bad teeth, but I can't go to the dentist because there are none in the area that take adult Medicaid. I would love to have the same right to search for a doctor/dentist/therapist/etc. as anyone else has, but right now that's impossible.
Honestly, I think choice is the other important aspect of Obama's campaign. Yes, we all want change, but we also all want to be able to choose what the government does with our money. I'm tired of feeling like I have no voice. I may be nothing but a 29 year old stay at home mom, but I am still a human being! I am still a citizen of the USA! I want sidewalks! I want alternative fuel sources so we don't have another $300+ per month gas bill this winter! I know I sound selfish, but it's time for the American People to be able to choose the direction this country is aiming for. I thought that was the point of freedom.
