Yesterday I posted a blog about Obama's new Health Care proposal. I embedded a video with Obama's speech at the AMA, in which he gave a thorough overview of his plan. I have received e-mails from some of my fellow AR members denoting the many horrors of other, supposedly flawed Health Care systems with the warning: "Be careful what you wish for!"

As a poor immigrant to this country, I have witnessed firsthand the horrors of our own system, where a lack of insurance garners you a place in the sitting room of the hospital emergency facility and not much more. After a major heart attack, my father was simply shuffled around the emergency waiting rooms for many hours without an examination or treatment and sent home with directions to take two aspirins if he felt ill. We did not have health insurance and that hospital did not take kindly to folks like us...

That was many years ago. We are no longer poor immigrants and yes, we do have health insurance that we pay a mint for. My experience with the "benevolence" of medical facilities in America ensures that I will pay my last dime to stay insured...

The video posted in yesterday's blog gave detailed information about Obama's plan. While I appreciate everyone's point of view, I urge you to watch the video first, before deciding on the value of his proposal. It is infinitely easier to just follow the well paid media mongers, point fingers and sentence Obama's proposal to "socialized" medicine status. The very word sends shivers up and down our spines, mine included.

The proposal does no such thing. It simply offers a healthy dosage of competition for the fat insurance corporations and some brilliant new ways to update an antiquated system and bring it into the new technology era. I urge you to watch the video, then, tell me what you think of his proposal!

If you are planning to obtain a mortgage when you purchase a condo be prepared to put down at least 25% or your mortgage will have additional fees.

Fannie Mae has implemented two new mortgage fees: Condo Buyers .75% add on fee and an additional 1.75% fee for Investors and they are applicable to loans that exceed 75% of the condo value. If you are able to pay at least 25% of the condo value the fees are not applicable.

Note: Loan-to-value may not be based on the purchase price, it will probably be based on the mortgage companies appraisal and appraisers are coming in with some low amounts based on the market.

France, Italy & San Marino have the best health care systems in the World. Why don’t we study them & take notes?

We’re below 36 countries and right above Brunei in our World Health system ranking, according to the World Health Organization.

Pharmaceutical companies paid lobbyists $22.5 MIL in the first three months of ’09 to protect their interests. In contrast, Families USA, a consumer group on health care has spent $10,000 on lobbying this year after spending only $32,000 total in 2008.

If we don’t get involved, BIG $Money will win again…
