Marcelas, you are a remarkable young man. Your heroic acts will never be fogotten and I am so proud of you!! You have shown to America and around the world that hard work pays off and "Yes we can" God Bless!

[hellosquire]

God bless you, young man. Never give up.

Republican obstructionism literally kills.

This is why we need not only reform, but tough regulations on capitalistic insurance companies and an alternative to private insurance, whether it be a public option or an expansion of medicare.

If my mom was diagnosed with a disease and was dropped, what would be the odds of surviving?

Conservatism kills. Liberalism helps those who are in need.

How about giving all Americans the same health care system that you fat cats in government have. Let's stop governing for big business, insurance and pharmaceutical companies and start taking care of the American people.

Very cool, very powerful and really important to move with this and so many other emotional and real life stories and get some real health care reform now

I was literally told to my face that I don't make enough money to make it worth while for them to pay to fix my health problems.

Is this what everyone wants to be forced on us all?

[JusMe1369]

Saying, "I want Health care to pass" is not a good enough reason to foist this terrible bill on us that's pending right now.

I'm living proof that this type of health care is not a GOOD thing as they have ignored me and left me permanently disabled because the state of Washington was too cheap to finish my medical treatments so I could be able to return to work and make a living on my own.

What a great video, and what a great kid. So sad he now does not have a mother because she did not have health care. How can we say who should live and who should die, it just is not right.

[Koolkid471]

so sad for his mother passing away i almost had tears just watching this

[kamikazeCORP]

One brave kid

[chunhaylee]

A very touching tribute to his mom. Pass HCR!

MIDDLE CLASS AMERICAN HAVE INSURANCE, but outrageous premium, deny surgical, drug treatment based on arbitrary profit driven criteria is IMMORAL. Tumor 0.1 inch over limits no treatment for you. MIDDLE CLASS AMERICANS are still one accident, one serious illness, or one chronic disease away from declaring Bankruptcy. Only if you are lucky enough to receive treatments & live long enough to file one. System is broken and failed MIDDLE CLASS that is why there is an outcry for reform.

[noformstyle]

AMA and ANA (DOCTORS & NURSES) support the Bill.

4Profit Insurance companies are against the Bill.

Why would Doctors support a Bill that taxes them, > $200,000? They have seen enough abuse by the Insurance Companies against their patients: deny treatments, changing drug formulary, drop coverage, preexisting condition exclusion, & Medicare drug GAP for Senior. Dont ever get sick or in an accident, you will be bankrupted & screwed by Insurance.

I will go with AMA on Health Care Reform.

Of course there's a lot of noise in favor of this health care bill. Even if only 1% of the population supported it, there would be a lot of noise.

But the facts say that the majority of Americans do not want this bill. And would they really need to push it through so fast if they really had national support for it?

Public Option NOW!
