Re: How can we improve health care in America?

How will your health care reform help small businesses? With rising costs for employees and employers will employers have to bear more financial burden?

I was just run over by the current system. I got caught without a job or insurance when the illness hit. The current system has screwed me good. I need help but I'm just outside the qualifications for assistance. I now owe over 20K and have no income.

I support some things, just not all. The reason I don't want the government to pay for more is because it is becoming less and less like the founding fathers planned. The federal government should never have become this big.

I don't pretend to be not at all afraid of nationalized health program; but I am more afraid of the US privatized. Pre-existing practices of insurance companies. Connect the privilege with job, lose your job, now where is your insurance? Not so many jobs to go around, it is harder for those with mild disabilities (such as Aspergers Syndrome)to compete for jobs.

My Old Friend Martin said, "Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhumane."

Let Dennis Kucinich debate!!

This is ridiculous!

If we can have 6 republicans in their debates then we can surely have 4 democrats!!

Let Dennis Kucinich debate!

I couldn't agree more. I support HR 676, but it isn't looking good for Kucinich.

[denimblueindigo]

So I think your time will be better spent finding out which plan will be best for all of us, instead of arguing over the morality. It's my opinion that HR 676 is the most comprehensive, cost effective plan available.

[denimblueindigo]

Unless you'd rather be driving around on dirt roads, your point is well taken. We can argue those points till hell freezes over. Fact is, within 2 years we will have some form of universal health care. The state of Mass just signed their version into law the other day. Calif. is on the brink, Virginia and Connecticut are right behind them and almost every other state is researching the best plan.

But you are right! Paying for theese things is immoral! They are equally immoral!

Now, the state should provide only the police, courts and a army for defense. But this is another topic.

[denimblueindigo]

You're forced to pay to fund highways, the post office, police, fire, war, and the list goes on. Why is health care more immoral? Saving lives of every American citizen is more immoral than sending our sons and daughters to war?

[szlachcic87]

Yes it is! Doctors, nurses are a part of the market game! They provide services. If the CEO recived such a sum of money this means he's doing his job right! And again I must stress, that public healthcare leads to higher prices for healthcare services. And also is immoral! You cannot force me to pay for my neighbour's health. If he has a problem I will probably help him - but forcing me to do so is immoral! As I said Volenti non fit iniuria.
