health care plan

WHAT IS HAPPENING TO AMERICA? WE HAVE ALL BECOME SO RELAXED AND SO NAIVE, TRUSTING OUR GOVERMENT TO TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING FOR US, WE TEND TO LEAVE IT IN THIER HANDS HOPE THEY MAKE THE RIGHT DECISIONS, .....NOT THIS TIME, IF YOU AND I WANT TO LIVE IN A COUNTRY WITH OUT A DICTATOR........THEN IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE WRITE TO OUR SENATORS AND CONGRESSMAN OR JOIN A TEA PARTY OR DO SOMETHING THAT WILL HELP CHANGE THIS NEW OBAMA HEALTH CARE CHANGE..........HE SAID BE FOR HE WAS ELECTED..."CHANGE" WELL IF THE HEALTH CARE GOES THROUGH THERE IS DEFINITELY GOING TO BE "CHANGE" AND NOT FOR THE BETTER.............LETS STOP THIS BEFOR WE LOSE OUR COUNTRY TO OBAMA HUSSAIN...........PLEASE EVERYONE READ AND LISTEN TO THE REASONS AS TO WHY WE SHOULD NOT GO ALONG WITH THIS SOCIALITIC APPROACH TO HEALTH CARE.......

Health Care

You shouldnt compare whats happend in other Countries. And its really unfair on the poor who cant afford health care, just because some other rich person who can afford health care says no you cant have free health care cos I dont want to pay for it. I'm am very thankful that the UK have free health care, if it wasnt my mum, dad, and myself wouldnt be alive today, all thanks to people working the asses off at our local hospital. There should be some hard rules to make sure that the people needed the health care are Americans and have lived in the USA for so many years. As in the UK, I think its good for what you get. We have so many people coming in from other Countries - not paying for anything and getting free health care, plus it doesnt help that the UK are part of the E.U - which thankfully the USA is not. I say give it a go, you can only but try and offer someone else the right to live.

ignorant americans

Once again, ignorance in a corrupt system is very visible in your way of thinking. Good luck to you uggly americans.

health care

No! Can anyone show me any program where the government takes over and then things get better? If our healthcare is so bad- why do people come to our country to get it? People who are from countries that have 'socialized medicene? Make no mistake, it is start of just that- Socialized Medicene- Do you want the government deciding who will get care and who won't? Is the 70 year old grandma less valuable than a 25 year old? She is to the government who can get taxes from the 25 year old for the rest of her life. Do we really have a responsibility to pay for the healthcare of 12 million illegal immigrants? Most of whom work for cash and do not pay taxes to our country? Research this and see that this is bad for all of us!

More Government...Not good

We need to understand that that Having healthcare is not a right...its a freedom. Much like working is not a right....its how we survive.

Our healthcare system is not the best but its not broken. It gets out of control from time to time but so do other industries. We work together to make things better by working through issues...not by letting the government make decisions on who gets treatment and finally who lives. We need to understand our governments roots are freedom, trusting in God, and helping our fellow man. Sad but we have just lost focus and allowed ourselves to be taken in by politicians that seem to not live in the same world as the rest of us. We need control...not reform.

No to Universal Healthcare

I do not want Universal Healthcare. My husband is a victim

of Socialized Medicine and it sucks. Please do not destroy this country. If it passed this country is doomed.

Health Care

What is going on. Government regulated healthcare? YIKES. I don't believe the president cares about senior citizens or end of life care from what was said on TV WED. nite. Accusations of too many labs done??? Hello,

Labs and tests are completed and sent to the specilaty hospitals such as in Cleveland or they would have to run everything there and their cost of care would increase. I am also sorry because we already have insurances that deny tests saying it is not needed. Just wait until we are into universal coverage. What happened to freedom of choice. Sad state of affairs we are in.

healthcare,just say no america!

The dem.liberals where screaming thier heads off when they thought bush was maybe listening to thier phone calls about privacy! But now are ready to hand over all thier family and personal medical information to the gov. no questions asked. I ask you is that the work of sane minds? or should these nuts be put under pyschiatric care. Obama and the dem. controlled congress are dangerous for taking us down this path of goverment control. America your being raped of your freedoms and you don't even see it happening. Wake the Hell UP! Stop this gov. takeover now,while we still have time. Call your congressmen and senators and tell them no more taxes and gov. run programs,America has had enough!

Health Care Taxes

NO! NO! NO! I can't say NO enough! I'm sick of my taxes going up! No!

Health Care

No.NO NO..............we need make our own choices.not the goverment
