In summary, despite the focus on the word "change" during the presidential campaigns, it seems that Americans won't be getting universal health care anytime soon. It seems that the responsibilities of the president do not include finding a doctor in Washington for house calls. Instead, the suggested plans are to take care of oneself and avoid getting sick. This includes basic hygiene practices and avoiding tobacco products.

I had no idea that the candidates had any actual plans. I thought their support depended on the rate that they could say the word "change." Whoever becomes president, it doesn't look like Americans will get universal health care anytime soon.

Presumably they get one with the job - it's a government post ?
Of course they still won't find a doctor in Washington that does (white) house calls.

Plan A. Don't get sick.

Plan B. Take aspirin, tylenol or ibuprofen, drink plenty of water, and call me in the morning.

Don't forget to wash your hands, brush your teath, and say NO to cigarettes and tobacco products.
