  • Interesting that Pres. Obama said back in June 47 million Americans don't have health insurance then in his last speech said 30 million Americans don't have health insurance. When did 17 million Americans suddenly get insured? Realize your gov't is corrupt then ask yourself "Why would I want a corrupt gov't managing my health care?" Look at Medicare/Medicaid which is slated to go bankrupt in 2015 and Social Security which will be bankrupt in 2023. So what can you predict for national healthcare?

  • You missed my point. The quote was just an example. I could have just as easily made the quote to be "no federal dollars will be spent covering illegal immigrants". My point was to pay very close attention to what the government spokesperson is saying and taylor your questions accordingly so you can get the right answers.

  • It's worth reading the MSNBC.COM article about Ms DeMin DeParle's revolving career from government to private health care industry, then back to government, and her current role on Obama's Health Care Advisory Team. She made million of dollars representing many Health Care Companies with dubious reputations including fraud allegations. So much for Obama closing the Revolving Door In Washington, D.C.

  • I am a republican and I am pissed off at what happened to my insurance rates. Dam the republican party that works for the interests of the insrance companies. Instead of representing the people who voted for them.

    I am voting demoract in the next election. Fuck the republican party and the insurance companies. Dam them to hell

  • This Health Plan is a scam for attaining our money that we worked our butts off to recieve!

  • You (and other low-income families) could probably sign up for Medicaid. Whether you do or not, in an emergency, you or your son would not be turned away. If you can't pay, the taxpayer picks up the bill (Medicaid).

  • I'm sorry, but a tax credit isn't going to help low income families cover the costs of anything. I make $8 an hour and average a 40 hour week, between lot rent for my mobile home, lights, water, clothes for my son, car insurance, gas for my car, groceries for the week, and other random expenses here and there... I know for a fact I couldn't even afford to pay $1 a month for health insurance! Tax credits sound good and look good on paper, but to low income families they are nothing but a joke.

  • We need to make people healthy, we do not need more health care. We need health not health care. Our processed food is killing us, pestacides and herbacides are killing us. Health care is talking advantage of this, they are treating us not curing us, there is no money in the cure.

  • we don't need more government health professionals....we need people actually producing things people need....

  • just give me resonable private health insurance geared to the individual....not companies...not employers....it will bring competition to the industry....thats what we need...not a FUCKING public plan....
