can anybody explain to me and a few million others WHY you think that YOUR healthcare should be subsidized by others that somehow DO manage to get their kids born,immunized,etc all on a salary of less than 40Gs ? UNINSURED.
where are the priorities and basic mentality to save a little each week to PAY for"services" ? How do they PAY for anything ?
rent,food,utilities ?
Millions are without health INSURANCE,have families,pay bills and have been for generations.
WHO started this bS that everyone IS to be insured at any means and on my dime as well ?
The taxpayers didn't pay one cent for my children,right down to their education as well.
Too bad oboMba simply didn't promise a hospital bed and prescription pad in every home.
would settle this garbage once and for all.
Was truly laughable watching his infomercial,all these "poor' folKK with gold,nail jobs,dye jobs,etc pissing and moaning THEY can't afford 50bucks for a doctor's visit or pay their bills.

Don't take R.L. Schaefer personally, Bonnie.
He is just here to spout off and push Catholicism.
Meanwhile, you're right about the economy causing everyone (women especially) to skimp on primary health care. We need a surge of less-trained primary doctors (who don't HAVE to make $250,000 a year to pay off their student debt) to actually see the patients for a charge of less than two weeks' salary for the 9-minute visit.
This is as important a goal for Obama as infrastructure.

Women often stand at the centre of the family unit, their health is not more important then the man's or any other part of the family; but they often neglect their own health for the sake of the family. I think that's what this columnist is getting at.
