Thats not their job. Its your job to keep yourself from getting chronic diseases, by eating healthy and exercising and regular checkups. Granted u need insurance for the regular checkups but chances are you will keep it at the checkup only level if you make good life choices. Its not the governments job to do any of this. They need to stay out.

Honestly, Im sick of hearing about profits. Profits are the reason people make advances. Profits are the reason people have jobs.

I am more concerned about the health of my body than that of my car.

I would prefer the government (or any insurance provider for that matter) help me keep from getting any chronic disease. Instead all they do is help us manage those diseases, and big pharma profits. That makes me sad.

If you want health care reform in America now then start eating better and exercising. Then you wont need more health care and you will be ok. Quit sitting on your asses watching and watching tv and get out and walk. Thats REAL HEALTH CARE REFORM. It needs to start with the individual, but then again most of you individuals expect government to do everything for you because you obviously cant do for yourself.

If you were inside at all you would have known that inside with was probably 50:50 as herd by the boos and hisses vs applause depending on the question.. Just another example of someone trying to distort the facts.

lmao 50:1 crowd estimate?? lmao that would mean several thousand people and about 30 anti reform.. lol you guys suck and estimates and numbers.. Why was the line for Anti refrom way way longer than the one for pro reform.. I would say it was about 60:40 pro reform not 50:1

Plus they had it on a Black College in a liberal town. Of course theres gonna be more.. have it in down town raleigh and see what happens.. like at Broughton Highschool.

Does your car insurance cover oil changes? Do you expect the government to pay for your car insurance?

[franastan]

Preventive care is better than damage control. It's like changing the oil on your car regularly so it DOESN'T give out on you too soon.

[BlueSkies360]

Yup. Paid by hour. They come with school buses. Lunch paid. Taxpayer and union sponsored.

Yeah, you'll get that ratio when you have a town hall meeting on the campus of a black university and hosted by SEIU and SEANC. Mindless drones...
