nice post. I'm glad you used facts and statistics, instead of just stating your opinion.

[CircaRigeI]

Thanks. I believe that one should understand the issue when making an opinion, which means informing oneself of the facts before coming to a conclusion.

Cheers!

...I get a kick out of hearing about these "Death Panels"...isnt that what you guys have already? A panel (of insurance brokers) who decides who gets the medical attention?

Good vid...good points...glad you are doing better :)

Lol. good one. Yeah. It's good to be healthy... and be insurred.

I have a friend in England who said he grew up with this kind of health system and he supports it 100%. ajbadbury on youtube here is the who who mentioned it. people are people and as you said, we are all interconnected. I admit, I am slowly being turned to the health care system that Obama is requesting. as you said, you are not democratic or republican. Neither am I. hmmm. . . . . . . don't know what else to say.. ... . .

[grandplans]

I really don't know what to think about this new idea of health care system. I'm all for helping those who couldn't afford health care. I hear both negative and positive aspects of this proposal. As I said, I still, really don't know what to think about it. I am fortunate, where I have never needed extensive care for an illness, accident, or anything. I am still very much in the grey area on this. If people need help, I think we should help them.

[CircaRigeI]

My belief is that politics shouldn't be about discord between democrats and republicans, or ANY groups. Choices shouldn't be made based on whether someone likes the other guy or not. They should be based on the facts, and what a person truly believes ins the right thing based on those facts. It shouldn't be about Obama or Palin or any politician. It should be about the people, and our needs.

[CircaRigeI]

I guess that's the most important thing, and that's what I'm pushing for... that the necessary help is available for those who need it, and it is affordable to them. People shouldn't be going bankrupt over health costs. People shouldn't be delaying diagnosis and avoiding treatment due to health costs. Such care should be available and affordable to all.

[CircaRigeI]

No... I've not heard of bankruptcies in Health Insurance. What I HAVE heard is of Health Insurance CEO's earning enough in a day to cover a single person for an entire year... And yeah, the horror stories too. It's nice that they can pick and choose who and what they cover. We don't have any choice of how and when we get injured or sick.

[l0gically]

I haven't heard of many health insurance companies going bankrupt. I have however, heard a fair share of horror stories about these companies have denied coverage to save money. We, can't unfortunately, deny ourselves bad health in order to the same.
