  • Most of these elderly folks who are against Obama's plan (my grandparents included) are behaving like irrational, selfish hypocrites. They benefited from the government their whole lives (the GI Bill, VA and SBA govt.-backed loans, FDIC insurance, Medicare, Social Security, etc.) -- not to mention defined-benefit pensions and workplace rights that were in place when trade unions were stronger -- yet they oppose government programs and (often) unions. I guess they got theirs, so screw the rest.

  • McCain argues against a public option because he fears it will mean the insurance companies won't survive. His priorities are wrong. He should be concerned about extending the survival of the American people and protecting their finances.

    If the insurance companies cannot provide any competitive advantage, then they shouldn't survive. They are not adding any value to earn their fat profits. Why do some pay more for a product than its competitor? They perceive more value for their money.

  • surgedark give me a break- the u.S health system is on life support.Canada/England have long waits if you are getting a non emergency type surgey or operation i.e Rhinoplasty, cosmetic surgery etc. However, at least and England/Canada you know it will be covered. In the U.S do you think the average Jane/John can afford the average surgery? Also Surgedark speak to the thousands and I mean thousands of Americans who were insured who got denied life saving surgery/operations

  • My friend I want the same coverage you have.

  • No, they are not.

    The USA has some of the highest survival ratings against deadly diseases (Heart problems, cancer, etc) we also have a short waiting time.

    If you like living in societies where they cut costs for healthcare, make you wait an average of 6 months for a simple appointment, then go on right ahead and live in Canada/England.

  • "The answer is someone who is a tru conservative " what you mean like George Bush or Sarah Palin or Cheney or Guliani and the other nuts who's only agenda is war? America is broken and those of you who don't have a passport to see other countries are being hoodwinked by the Republicans. Get a passport and travel abroad before you comment about Canadian or English healthcare.

    BTW Please choose a more sociable name ; i can't even refer to you by name.

  • However, I do respect McCain's point that the Health care system is broke and needs to be fixed.

  • McCain belittles a possible government run option, but does he realize that Medicare is government owned. Also, England and Canada's Health care systems is far better than ours.

  • I know Palin's record quite well I plan to vote for her in 2012.
