Reaction: Obama's health care plan

Obama is calling for a public health insurance plan to compete with private insurers as a way to lower costs. Republicans say its a government takeover and is too costly. What do you support? President Obama said toady that he absolutely believes health care reform will be passed by the end of the year. Do you think that will happen? How should we pay for health care reform?

And giving free healthcare to 'Those who can't afford it' will NOT make America better. They have just as an equal opportunity as anyone else to go to college, get a good job, and live a fantastic lifestyle - the American Dream fulfilled. But there's many who don't choose to work hard. They want to live the American dream without earning it. These are the people who 'the rich' would end up supporting. Lazy scum who feel they deserve the world without lifting a finger.

@128pinkfloyd Wow! Are you ever ignorant! So Joe down in Kentucky that was raised baptist in the mountains by good, but uneducated parents shouldn't be helped even though he busted his but to get through high school, didn't have the funds to go to college but instead worked hard in the coal mines and risked his health so you could have electricity to run your little laptop and now he has to stop working because of breathing issues and he has no health insurance.

Jesus was a liberal and hated the rich, face it, the Jesus cult guru himself was a hippie liberal douche.

Extending health insurance to children up to age 26 with the current unemployment rate is a sham. Most recent graduates working part time do not qualify. Only if they DO NOT WORK at all. That's because if an employer offers insurance, which is required by law with 50+ employees, grads must pay out of pocket for inferior coverage. Rich kids can take years off after graduation w/quality health care. Poor kids working part-time looking for full-time work get inferior coverage unless they quit jobs.

Jesus was not supporting welfare. Read your whole bible. Jesus asked us to be responsible and to free load. Jesus was not a liberal.

@mrcocopuffz That´s a 10 year-old statement!!!! Don´t you see (it´s not too difficult) that the system always tends to privatize benefits and socialize debts. I´m not sure you understand what that means, but think about it.

And think about the reason that has taken the world to the actual crisis. That´s not to difficult either. It´s just a matter of being well informed, beyond watching TV or reading your local newspaper.

@8osiris Thats the exact reason i believe Americans are the problem not the health care systems.
