Personally, I know I’ll vote Democrat. But, honestly, I don’t know who I’ll pick between Clinton, Obama, and Edwards. Having filed for bankruptcy because of unpaid medical bills due to my pre-existing condition (traumatic brain injury), and having no health insurance several years of my adult life because I couldn’t afford COBRA–aptly named, BTW–universal health care is a priority for me. Edwards has the good sense to know you don’t negotiate with pharmaceuticals or HMO’s. Clinton has a comprehensive health care plan and maybe this time, when she has had experience holding an elected office, she could persuade the necessary congresspeople to vote for her plan. Obama is a relatively new face (a nice change) who is an eloquent and rousing speaker. I wish Edwards had more financial support.

Anyway, enough of my ranting. How good is your Chinese? Enjoy your adventures in Taiwan!
