Why would we want ANY healthcare program that is not the same plan that the president & congress have. They don't participate in social security but we have to. WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?????

This is the begging of all human life and to cut it short for anything is not right.In god i trust and hes heart as well as mine breaks for these babies who had a pupose in this world.For us to give money or even moral support is wrong.We have alot much things we could be putting this money towards.If you really look at it what purpose or even good comes from shedding innocent blood this blood cries out to GOD ALMIGHTY and i dont want this great country to bring judgment upon its self.Lets not forget about the woman who have the abortion if they didnt have HOPE going into that why would killing a baby make it any better.So please get the bible out and start putting god back in the government in stead of trying to take him out look where thats gotten us look back on history our four founding fathers where christians just look at the facts and dont be willing ignorant for money or anything else thanks for your time dont waste your life and give them a chance for one.If we stick to the bible god will bless this country on the other hand if we keep going in the path we are in i dont even want to think about whats going to happen.I know this from my own life god is good and just!!! You cant expect anything good to come from killing babies and thats exactly what it is.Please open your eyes and hearts and come back to reality this is not a good health care plan.Give it some more thought.Dont be decieved but see what is holy and true.I could go on for along time if i got out my bible but ill let you go and check it out for your self this time!!!!! GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am against the Obama's Healthcare Plan

I bet you think that your private health insurance doesn't pay for abortions either. Got news for you....It does. Your private policy does not just pay for you, it pays for everyone that has that coverage. Anything else you want to learn about?

Basically, the act of forced miscarriage (abortion) is UNNATURAL. Nature takes care of those babies that cannot survive here on earch with its natural miscarriage.

Abortion: It harms the mother, emotionally and sometimes physically. It kills the living baby no matter what the age.

Anyone with any common sense realizes that the baby has to be alive at conception in order to grow in the womb. The act of aborting this process is MURDER. This birth process is a gift from God.

Murder in most societies is death to the murderer. This death is the result of sin. The wages of sin is death.

The mother should learn from God fearing people that her body is precious and is to be kept for her husband. Babies thrive in marriage relationships with a MOTHER AND A FATHER (biological or adopted).

These are TIME PROVEN FACTS.

All and any people who KNOWINGLY contribute in any way, knowingly to abortion -- and to save the mother is a minimal occurance-- are MURDERERS. To know to do right and not to do it is SIN.

If this bill is enacted as proposed; I will discontinue my Medicare Coverage and the supplemental which goes with it.

May God have mercy on us all. To openly perform adoption and fund it through the people of the United States of America is definitely the end of this Country as we know it and the beginning of horrible judgement from God.

First we take God out of school and replace Him with condoms and out of control children - teachers are unable to discipline without fear of being sued! Now we have the government controlling the auto industry, taxes upon taxes, and an out of control deficit. With our rights being diminished little by little, I think it's time to stand up against Obama and tell him NO! He is power hungry and reminds me of Hitler - smooth talking, making promises he will never be able to keep and worst of all, bashing our country and apologizing for our actions - actions that defend our country and rights!!! This man needs to be stopped before he destroys this country. Healthcare should not ever be controlled by the government - read his healthcare plan.....only those who are healthy and young will be able to get any healthcare....forget the millions of children killed by abortion, but handicapped children will be "set aside" and seniors will be denied any coverage and will be encourage to committ suicide to "ease" the burden of cost. Are we all living with our head in the sand? Stand up for what is right and what is moral. We have taken this country off the foundation of Christian values on which it was founded and have laid aside all principles - God help us all!!!

Up front, I am not an anti-abortion member, BUT I understand and appreciate the rationale, My concern is how to deal with this issue as well as any others which involve ELECTIVE procedures, that is, procedures which are not directly a healthcare issue for the person, such as cosmetic surgery or hair restoration, etc. One could argue that some of these should be covered if they are a result of other health related forces (such as chemotherapy or burns.) Even abortion might be included where the mother's life is threatened. This is where a "medical supreme court" may have to be invoked on such judgement calls. Some have argued that childbirth is of greater danger to the mother than having an abortion under adequate conditions. Certainly such an abortion is cheaper than giving birth, if one is only considering financing the system. If we decide that purely elective procedures are not to be covered, and if abortion is technically legal, those who wish to contribute to such funding should be permitted to do so. I'm sure that a number of people would do so as they do now. At least this gets the subject off the table for now and permits the establishment of a system, and takes in both sides so to speak. The religious issue will never be solved, so let's not try to do it within the healthcare system which comes out of the current debate.

If "Pro-Life" now includes over 51% of Americans over half of American taxpayers are enabling the taking of an innocent life.There are alternatives to killing a fetus. There are millions of families waiting for the opportunity to raise and love an unwanted child. The issue--Roe vs Wade aside--is that we encourage this quotidian practice with the aid of government paid abortions. The hidden but ugly truth is that people of color in the US bear the highest proportional burden of this form of genocide. How ironic that many of these Americans had to fight so long and hard for their constitutional rights. It's about time that we extended these self-same rights to our yet unborn children. Tell your legislators "no" to government insurance paid abortions. Protect the future of America.

It appears that most in our country have agreed that abortion is a very private and personal decision. that being said the cost of such a private and personal decision should also be paid for by private and personal funds, not with my tax dollars. Whos' idea was it to come up with a trillion dollar tax plan? Geesh we haven't even paid back the borrowed funds from our economic recovery and we are going after more. This country is being financed into a third world country.

People often mistake being angry with being right, so at least you don't have to feel alone!
