Making Insurance mandatory is not the answer. The only ones to gain from this are health care insurers, not us!


Why is it no one can see this? Why is it that all these BHLs cannot look to the successes of other nations? Is it that they have to try so hard to make their own difference instead of going with what really works?

And to expand on this system? How stupid re some of these people here?


Now for the BIG BIG question, where is all this money supposed to come from to pay for all this socialized medicine???

The HC bill should be repealed. Even if it is not formally repealed, it will self-destruct (a de facto repeal). It is simply not economically feasible. That which cannot go on, will not go on. This program will die a terrible death, just like the unsustainable and stupid occupations in the mideast.

I agree that this is not sustainable.

I would rather it be left alone and allow it to come into full effect in 2014.

When people actually see and feel what this type of policy is like firsthand, there won't be much of a fight to get it changed.

I want this to be Obamas legacy..

Fanta...

Read the above responses and it becomes quite apparent why polls don't provide accurate results.

the responses range well outside the ability of a multiple choice array to accurately measure true 'feelings'.

Polls are mearly an indicator of the range of skew the pollster has built into it by the possible choices available to those that chose to answer.

good point


I think peoples feelings on the issue range within what they have interpreted from the information shared with them

I doubt many people actually read line by line the bill or the explanations of how each line would manifest in practice


I know much of my support is from the information I have from sources I personally trust like my own doctor and my family members in the medical field,,,,all intelligent people and also I am able to reinforce what they tell me by going to the bill and reading those parts myself

Well I have read some and also read some of what people commented about it. Like workers pointing out that taxes start now but the effects are not for 4 years. Then they said their company told them they cant afford to pay taxes of the new HC and provide current HC so for the next 4 years no HC at all.

I have it on good authority that companies LIE,,,(my mom worked in eeo, you would be amazed the things company CLAIM are happening to justify what they have chose to cut or whom they have chosen not to hire,,)

But, but, it's the will of the Messiah.
He don't gits appeased he be showin' ya'll that pitchfork!!!

Here's the thing with this, and I say this with all due respect. You are assuming that this government actually gives a care about our health, when really they don't. If they really truly did, all the crap allowed into the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food that we eat would never have been allowed to be there. These are the things that are causing a lot of the health problems we now have. Take those things away and suddenly the body can become much healthier in a more natural state, but they don't wish this.

That leads me into my second point with regards to this healthcare bill. It is not about health at all, but rather more control over it and how we are to take care of ourselves. It is a power grab more than anything else and will remove even more rights from us to be able to treat our problems as we choose to.

Why should people be forced to buy healthcare that they may not want, need or in some cases even afford? Is that freedom when you have no choice? Furthermore, if the government is deciding what kind of care you get and how much, you are effectively putting your life into their hands. In doing so, you give away your own right to take care of yourself how you want to.

This is the entire goal of the healthcare bill. It might seem good on the surface, but if you go deeper into it you will find that much like everything else in government, it isn't what it appears to be.

I have read the bill or a good part of it anyway and it is what it seems to be.

I even understand the healthcare tax with a person's income tax. If that person has no insurance and gets in a major car accident and end up in the hospital under the healthcare bill they get care as if they paid into it so they need to pay into it.

Reading just a bit of the bill doesn't justify passing the bill.
