  • or you could just go to live in canada or UK, especially Uk has free healthcare!

  • Where in the Constitution does it state that we have a RIGHT to health care? O I forgot, its right under the RIGHT to higher education and the RIGHT to affordable housing. My wife and I were layed off in December but I'm not crying for the gov't to give me insurance. Whatever happened to personal responsibility and accountability. You and I have the RIGHT to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness + Bill of Rights. Bleeding hearts are trying to expand the list of rights all the time.

  • @nikolayzou but with universal healthcare your paying less than the companies who take it out of your pay check and everytime you pay your helping all of your society. Where's the down side?

  • @miky261 There is no such thing as free healthcare. Tax payers pay for it and get a shitty service for their money.

  • uk why can,t the u.s people have free healthcare,we set ours up just after ww2 when our country was near enough bankrupt,the labour government pushed it through the tories(republicans), the doctors were against it,but still its here the tory government would like to destroy it,but we the people of the uk will stop it.come on usa what happenend to people power in your great country?????

  • Do you think extending health insurance to children age 26 is for the poor? With the current unemployment rate this is a sham. Recent graduates who work part time do not qualify. Only if they DO NOT WORK at all. That's because if the employer offers insurance, which is required by law with 50 > employees, they must pay out of pocket for far inferior coverage. Whose children take a year off after graduation? Whose children are working part-time to find work? Rich kids get quality health care.

  • i have a better idea how to solve our countries problems!

    #1: Deport all illegal aliens and undocumented workers

    #2: Seize their homes,money, property *

    #3: Watch decline in healthcare costs as result of less population

    #4: Take back the jobs and give them to Americans

    #5: Enjoy better economy!

    ( why should they keep it when it's earned illegally? Do drug lords get to keep their hard earned drug money when their busted?)

  • shame

  • the company you work for take money of your pay check to pay for you medical insurance which is more than your tax every year why complain

  • @hardcorefrom94

    because they care about their own, and those that are rich who pay them of, we need to consider the insurance companies that will go out of business if this pass, my wife pay $700 a month for med insurance but there is nothing wrong with her. The money goes to someone else and yet we don't want the free med. We are screwed here in the U.S and we need the free med care.
