I agree health care should be a human right. Everyone deserves health care. We care about the babies before they are born and then once they are born no one cares anymore. We don't take care of our people once they are here we ignore them the ones that need help the most. I am tired of our country's selfish ways. We need to take a stand and bring america back before it goes down the drain.

I've always loved listening to Ted Kennedy.  I just didn't know I would miss him this much.

Every person should have free health care. People say that will cost so much. Smile, Ted Kennedy was right. Thank God I live in a commie country called the UK, which is made up of England, Wales, Scotland and N. Ireland. We are all left wing nutters here the, Goverment under Tony Blair (Labour Left winger) took my country to war in 2003 with BUSH. We are still your only true friends but you treat my country with no respect. If I was in charge I would tell you Yanks, Go and do one on your own

Health is not always a matter of choice -- or in this case/what you're implying, habits. Young children and infants can get lung cancer (unrelated to smoking). How can we determine who deserves care and who doesnt? Not to mention its costly and timely process. Take a look at expenditures on administrative costs just to figure out who deserves the care, gets the billed, what amount, etc.

the people who will get the bill will the be the fat asses who let themselves weigh 400 pounds and the dicks who make the choice to smoke and those who chose to live unhealthy lives.

Only time will tell about what the results will be for health care reform, we've heard the praises and the scary stories. But soon this will be a part of our everyday lives when it kicks into effect

@rheforgottenpeople

It is not about health care. It's about who get's the bill.

[heartlessvietboy]

Ted Kennedy didnt look like he needed Health care. He looked like he needs to sit down and take a drink of water before he gets a heart attack.

Obamacare was signed on March 2010 with 59% of the people disapproving according to a CNN poll. The CBO scored Obamacare on six years of coverage for 10 years of taxes, which is how the CBO showed the bill to be deficit neutral . It’s unconstitutional mandating all citizens to purchase health care. Even Pelosi said, “We have to pass the bill, so you can find out what is in it.” watch?v=KoE1R-xH5To It’s also meant to take over industry watch?v=p-bY92mcOdk
