my family really needs this healthcare, we barely get by... i'm 16 and i'm not one of those loazy poor kids who keeps on the family tradition of being poor, i want out, i have staight A's and i'm looking the some of the best colleges in the country. but that doesnt mean i don't need healthcare now! these wealthy people are trying to take it away because they are all set and don't actually see the need. Thanks for the help America! Keep on putting us down!

I live in Canada, and follow your health care debate with scorn. I pay 0 dollars per
month for 100% coverage for my family. The deductible is 0%. There is no copay.
There are NO death panels. Sarah Palin is a lying stooge of the HMOs. Look it up and follow the money that flows into the Republican coffers. Major insurance and so-called health care providers are paying vast sums to quash this attempt at helping
poor people to have decent coverage. Another point about our system; you cannot be disqualified for any reason if you are citizen of Canada and you are covered for any pre-existing condition. The main problem the Republicans have with so-called socialized health care is that their pals don't make billions of dollars off the backs of the sick.

Hi. I'm a disabled 43-y/o guy with medical needs for the rest of my life. Wht the H is Boehner and his crocadile-tears of pride thinking, making victims of us Americans (and it will become far more) who don't have Boehner's buck$? The ttea party is nothing but a spoiled bunch of selfish brats who have no notion of responsibility. I just don't know what anyone can do about this, now.

Republicans have ignored the free riders who do not want heath insurance. Free riders can have accidents, injuries and serious physical health s problem like brain damage, cancer or pink eye. Free riders have the right to health care without paying, unless they are sue in court. Then who pays for free riders, those who are paying insurance policies and tax payers. Free riders pay taxes, so why not share the cost of health care? Do free riders taxes cover their health care, not even. Health care costs ten time more than free riders are paying in taxes. Nor can free riders dedicate their taxes to defence, roads, food stamps, any more than they can draw down their paid taxes to pay for their own health care. Free riders only make health insurance more costly for those having health insurance. Why not have free riders sign a consent form, not to have health care or be giving life support? If they are Reublican free riders they would have the same lack of health care than the rest will have, if they seek health insurance companies' generosity.

Repealing this law should be the last thing to do - it SAVES money when we need to be doing that - AND improves coverage for millions of Americans.
Where is the GOP focus on jobs?
Where is the GOP focus on balancing the budget with some REAL cuts in DEFENSE? We are spending $520 BILLION (haf a TRILLION) more on defense now than when Reagan "won" the Cold War. Too much!!!!!! Way too much!
Why not cut the Congressional salaries in half until they balance the budget?
Boehner - cut the "red meat" pandering to your base and do some real tough leadership things....until then, the GOP/TP has no credibility...
