In my opinion, (Don't start a flame war) I think Education is more important than healthcare. I mean look here, Americans are getting dumber by the minute and the educational standards here need some toughening up. I do agree about other countries having higher educational standards than here but I think its more of an issue with the way parenting works and such etc.. Glad that Obama is acknowledging this although I hope extending the school year isn't included in the reform bill because that won't help. Perhaps changing school hours (9am to 5pm) is better. Health insurance though is also a top priority for families here. The payments our family pays for insurance is outrageous each month and it's the lowest rate my health insurance company provides as well
