@CommonSenseJoe

You need to pay attention... tough for someone who has to tout their own "Common Sense", but still possible.

Republicants want to destroy Medicare and SS. They will all tell you so in private if you pretend to be a libertarian around them. They deny this in public, however. So who is lying?

Republicants try to divert monies for these programs to big business in the back room, but then complain about waste and corruption in public. Again, who is lying?

Please pay attention.

If people think a Public Option is government plan to takeover the health industry and destroy other businesses then the same people should ask the government to shutdown the US Postal Services. People can start paying $10 to have a birthday card and bill payments sent via UPS and other private carriers.

I am a doctor. I am so public option. Get big business (insurance) out of medical care.

[prhiannon]

Private insurance companies are paying millions of dollars every month to shareholders and overpaid CEOs. I work in healthcare and these organizations are full of overpaid management and very inefficient when it comes to actually delivering care to people. I can't see how public healthcare could POSSIBLY be any worse.

In other countries where they have public health care it's much more efficient and the money goes to actually providing health care, not profits.

I favor a public option under certain conditions.  The problem is I don't trust the President or the Democrats when they talk about a public option.

At one time the President said he favored a public option that was NOT tax payer subsidized and would operate solely on the premiums paid by those in the plan. If that kind of plan was proposed today, I would support it. I do not believe that the government can run an insurance business any better than the private sector.

@CommonSenseJoe or cut the cost of delivering those benefits... which is kind of the whole point of the public option.

So, eat the old. But we have more than five trillion to bail out the banks, wall street, Insurance giants, and that's sustainable?

[CommonSenseJoe]

Are they losing money? That's because fewer and fewer people use their services. At some point, you need to face the fact that they are obsolete.

[CommonSenseJoe]

They have to be fixed or they will go broke. That is a fact. We must either raise the taxes or cut the benefits.

it's my 2nd language...

what do you think of the video?

Personal Responsibility is taking responsibility for yourself & your actions. if you can't read or can't read Legalese why wouldn't you bring a lawyer or a really smart friend to sign for a loan that's going to be a major part of your life? it's not like your buying an IPod.
