That's why people from all over the world risk everything to come here. That's why Cubans literally swim to our shores - because its so 'horrible' here. It is the Law in the US that NO-One can be denied care. And no one is, even illegals. If they can't pay, the taxpayers eat it. We don't need to further expand gov't control, that is not true reform. And the Government is far more wealthy, corrupt, greedy & power hungry than any Corporation - and yet you see it as the solution to everything.

Wait, doesn't the bill demand that "access to healthcare choice be limited in order to cap costs"? Why YES, it does!

I guess that means there IS a cap on benefits!

Blunt is a teabagger.and I'm not refering to the political party.

The U.S. does have wonderful health care, the problem is no one can afford it, unless you are a rich person (congressman). It's true that you can't be refused treatment, but you will lose everything you own to pay for it. Mediaid doesn't help unless you have nothing in the first place, then you will be lucky to get it, in Missouri anyway.

In a country as well of as the United States, no one should die because they can't afford to see a doctor!

his answers are so generic...

Voting for Roy Blunt is like voting to bring back the good ole days of Jack Abramoff and Carl Rove. He needs to retire and go away and let Missouri move on to build business, create jobs, improve our schools and live our lives in prosperity and peace. We don't need his, and his cronies', version of corporate welfare, paying taxes for oil company subsidies and pork-filled legislation leading to higher deficits.

Excuse me BUT, including the Rx into medicare has resulted in increased medication price for the rest of us, my Rx before the plan cost me $43, a few years after it costs $85 for the same ammount the same darn thing. All the pharma has done is distributed the profit loss to the non medicare consumer, so yeah I will argue the for the most part that idea was a disaster.

Youre' a congressman and supose to know whats in the bill ...read it you lazy asshole

[Hawkflieshigh]

I believe the points have been missed here.

1. The congressman from Missouri states the bill is being pushed through without proper review.

2. Get government out of the business of telling people what to do.

3. Let competition make health care cost effective.

4. Free markets provide based on need of the consumers not regulations.

PPL have missed the point that big business funds the U.S. drive to socialism as that is the ultimate monopoly without any competition by law.

I don't know about other countries, but i'm 16 years old and live in Norway and our public health care system is a catastrophe.

Since the Norwegian Workers Party came to power all form of private health care options are banned because they are "bad", "very bad". Because of this the health lines are huge, if you suffer from cancer you will be treated......next year. Not only that, but equipment is crap, doctors are crap, and our ilness gets crappier.

You're really committed to the lie. I wasn't 'defending crooked load schemes'. God you're dumb. You're right, it's all another silly fairy tale. There's no proof anywhere and will never be. I'm sure you've done the research thoroughly. Anyway folks, there's plenty of videos on YouTube about who caused the housing bubble & economic meltdown showing how much Pelosi & friends made selling securities. Don't worry, I know the gov't never fucks up, and would never deny coverage to anyone ever- Yay!

ok haypenny, this is my last response because you've gone off the deep end. i have extensively looked up claims the big bad evil gubment forced private enterprise to fail... so it could bail it out...

it's a lie, there's absolutely no proof whatsoever to back up this right wing nonsense. 

the right has become the party of misinformation. the biggest lie is the banks being forced to make bad loans. never happened. why am i surprised your defending crooked loan schemes?
