Class Discussion Reflection

This past Friday, our class had a discussion on the Health Care Reform.  Many issues were made by different people and their perspectives on the issue.  How the health care reform will create jobs was a good question that was brought up.  An idea that i heard that really stood out to me was the fact that perhaps obama should have tried to fix the economy first then the health care reform.  My point is why are we debating on how we can pay the health care for everyone, when we are constantly wasting billions of dollars in war on a weekly/ monthly basis.  Obama stated that starting in July he will start clearing troops out of Iraq and Afghan, i say why cant he just start now? why are there so much soldiers still over there? America can save billions of dollars and use that for health care by withdrawing soldiers from war.
