Let's fix problems in America and not create more. Maybe, this should be a state government issue...at least that way the Americian people might have a vote on the topic. How much money have we spent to debate this issue? America needs to hold our elected officials accountable for thier actions. "WE the People" are responsible for this decision and need to voice our opinions. But when we do, do not do it with malice, but with positive influence. God Bless America!!!

We have had this system for decades and the fact that any change is being done or atleast wants to happen is something great to me,the bill that the house passed should remain how it is. Honestly the government already proved that they can handle medicare so why shouldnt we trust them with healthcare? I honestly want this country to catch up to all the rest of industrialized nations in the world, concerning healthcare. The facts are right in front of us and I want those who oppose the bill, especially "moderate democrats" to please reconsider, and honestly if it were up to me I would provide universal coverege!

The fact that this bill does not take effect until 2013, which is after Obama (hopefully) gets re-elected in 2012 is telling. Because once poeple see we've just succumbed to socialized medicine and are going even more bankrupt as a nation, we will be forced to deal with this "God damn America" President for another 4 years of destroying the American way of life that countless DIED to preserve and he is throwing away.

Once again poor women and their families are beaten down ~
their rights sacrificed in the name of coming to a
COMPROMISE for HEALTHCARE REFORM.
Somehow the platform for the healthcare reform was switched to let in the ABORTION DEBATE.
SHAME, SHAME
Now,the House is quietly trying to hide the fact that this legislation got side-tracked BIG TIME!!
Guess they wanted to go home for Thanksgiving; didn't have the patience and the perseverence to block out the lobbyists who were forcing themselves with the ABORTION ISSUE...
DON'T BE TRICKED - Let's hope- NO - PAST THAT, It's time to
TAKE ACTION, TO LET OUR SENATORS & PRESIDENT KNOW -
TRICKERY and confusion to take our attention away from what really was at hand-
BETTER UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE for ALL !!
The recent Government attempt to save money has been taken away in the name of morality for some, but for others it is to save money.
However, history and research can show that this lack of support for poor women in our society carries on to effect all of society. These babies often end up in agencies, fosterhomes; sometimes requiring special counseling and special education services. It taxes the whole system. Once again, the government is called upon to provide tax monies to improve these growing agencies and government institutions.
Soon other government monies arevdebated, and haggled about -before they are put into the social agencies and school systems (etc.) that try to assist these poor families.
It's a never-ending story of government trying to regulate monies for services for ALL.
KEEP the morals out - and stick to the REAL ISSUES
Don't GIVE IN - Be STRONG LEGISATORS
