Lucy Said:

Which area of business should I specialize in?

We Answered:

Well, if you want to open your own business, you're going to have to know it all.

On that list, Marketing would be the most useful towards a owner-operated business (No matter what business you run, you've got to know how to sell!), and Land and Resource Management the least useful.

Do any candidates have a plan other than insurance paid by the working class to cover everyone?

We Answered:

While all 3 major Democratic Candidates--Clinton, Obama, and Edwards--have comprehensive healthcare proposals, they are all SINGLE PAYER proposals and not SINGLE PROVIDER proposals.

Your suggestion--a government run hospital--is an example of single provider healthcare, similar to the NHS in the UK.

The Democratic proposals leave in place private run hospitals. In these proposals, a new tax would be levied upon your employer. The money they're paying the insurance companies would go to the Government, perhaps into Medicare. Then, Medicare would either pay hospitals for your care (cutting out the insurance companies) or they would pay insurance companies directly (just as your employer does now), depending on the proposal.

While it's important to remember that we pay far more for healthcare than other industrialized nations, we do have the most capacity and most technologically advanced healthcare system in the world.

While some fringe candidates may propose a single provider system--similar to the way the VA works--I believe you won't see that happen.

My personal belief, as a lifelong democrat, is that it will be best to keep hospitals privately run. This will reduce waste due to competition and it's all but a proven fact that a company can respond quicker to changing market dynamics than the federal government can.

When most people deride a national healthcare policy in America, it's important to note that they compare it to what's happened in the UK and Canada, both of which are single provider systems which leave patients with a long wait for surgeries and procedures. Remind them that the proposal is merely for a SINGLE PAYER program, which will do nothing but lift a massive burden from the shoulders of business, making them more competitive in the global marketplace.

Allison Said:

What are some careers I can pursue if I like business, technology, and law?

We Answered:

I would suggest working for an internet based legal publisher. You can start as an Editorial Assistant and possibly work your way into management. Involves updating laws and latest cases on the internet as well as promoting the products to the legal profession. Basic knowledge of sgml is useful. Less pay than in legal sector but the tradeoff is that it has flexible hours and great working conditions.
