Testimonials describing the way the current health care system is broken and failing America were given by Carol Weidner, Melanie Shouse and Eric Friedman.
@NYredwhiteandblue actually Ms. Shouse, may she rest in peace, was still limited by Medicare because a person with breast cancer is not considered a "disabled" person, which means that her services were not completely covered. She died earlier this year. So she's really not that happy. Like Ms. Shouse, there are a lot of people in the same predicament.
To Republicans: YOU LOST THE ELECTION!! Not only the presidency, but also Congress!! Get over it! Suck it up! You clowns had the White House for eight years, and the Congress for six years, and you made a mess. Give some one else a chance, now.
Hmmm... I thought that in a debate both sides were presented. I only see the side of this debate that says, "We must pass this legislation." Maybe that's why our congressional reps are so upset -- they don't *get it* about debate.
I have to totally agree with Socksbike, now this is true debate. I have to add my health horror story, I had kidney stones and went to the hospital well the bill is split up in 3 parts. And I didn't have health insurance at that time, all they did was give a shot of morphine and scan, an doctor came to seen me. Plus I took a short nap from the morphine, the bill came over five thousand dollars. I only paid 2 of the 3 it has kill my credit I will not pay the rest. Hope some thing is done soon.
SO she is saying medicare helped her, great... why put us all in such a plan if we are happy. Heck, the washington dweebs even voted against going on the same plan they want to put us in... not good enough for them I guess...
The choice to drop people based on pre-existing conditions. The healthcare bill also makes it illegal to drop coverage and discriminate based on pre-existing conditions.
Yes, healthcare reform is necessary, but it sounds to me that you believe that there is a free lunch. How are you going to pay for this.
Oh wait, tonight in the press conference we heard that the savings will come from greedy doctors who won't be allowed to take out your child's tonsils. How many hundreds of billions do you think that will save? How many children will suffer needlessly?
I dont prefer a corporation. I prefer a choice. I work hard and pay my insurance. Thats a privilege I earn by working hard.... and I dont want to work hard to pay your insurance.... thats your job....

This is the first really rational debate I've watched on this subject.
