@connieas1 So your telling me I will have to spend an extra $15 a paycheck to keep the government from taking more of my money to misuse and to give to the "pour". Make it 20 and count me in.

I'd have to agree. But hindsight is always clearer than forsight and in 2003 everyone knew Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. The british knew it. The russians knew it. And saddam was saying he had them. It was a judgement call. And the american people are just as responsible as bush.

Why aren't these people on the media? Why hasn't Obama consulted them?

"if you look at Medicare...Medicare's going bankrupt...". According to Obama, Medicare is very fine Gov. run program.

Universal heathcare is easy, GOOD universal healthcare on the other hand... Good luck finding that unicorn. Even france is only good because they put the patient next to the doctor like the Doctalker guy in the video does. Check it out even though you still won't believe it with your eyes.

i cant believe that people dont see the politicians who are against health care reform are owned by the ins companys and the pharmactical companys..ive been on the phone with citizens as part of a group for change...and they want health care reform..for those of u who have your policies watch out

you will be losing them..35% increases in fees will send your employers out of business wake up

We have a serious problem in this country and we need to address it. Health care companies are telling us what doctors we can see, what treatments we can have, and how long we can stay in the hospital and which hospital we can go to. They have collectively gotten together with each other and decided to streamline plans that are equally expensive with equal flaws. We need to stop talking about socialism and start looking at seriously creating universal healthcare for everyone.

[Ryooken]

Um that would not be a liberal mantra. Liberals tend to believe in freedom, individual, choice and social responsiblity. Now as far as this healthcare thing goes. This is my observation. People are more interested in trying to bring down Obama than taking care of the problem of greed in the medical industry. Over 50% of America has government run health care that is over all cheaper and somewhat more effecient than their private counter parts.

[DJS59]

Why do liberals feel like they have to control everyone. They cant think past thier damn noses.

[DonaldRDeciko]

This is ridiculous. Call me stupid if you want, but is there anyway somebody can tell me what the hell the Obama plan is? This is all theoretical nonesense.... perhaps a list with bullets would go along way for people as dense as I....???....???
