Cathy lives in Apple Valley, MN. A single mother of two, Cathy went back to school to earn her teachers license and has worked for the past three years as a special education and early childhood education teacher. Then, when her school system was hit with budget cuts earlier this month, Cathy lost her job, along with her health insurance.

Welcome to the real world lady. A lot of us have been through hell with medical problems, the government will not take care of you. This bill that will be law, how much will it cost us? I have no job or health coverage they will will get no cash out of me forcing me to get coverage. Its better just to die and take something to ease the pain, rather then go into debt. This will cost us through higher taxes on things the middle class and poor people consume every day items, bet on it!
We need the public option. The insurance companies will screw us without it.
The Republicans want to help the rich and screw the poor. They dont care about the majority of people.
They want to cut taxes for the rich, but then there is less money for social programs for the poor and middle class. Republicans don't want a public option, because there insurance buddies wouldn't be able to make as much money.
To the blue dog democrats, dont be traitors. Get back to your democratic roots.
I have been seeing a lot vids on health care reform. I see a lot of people against the reform due to fear of the govt completely taking over the private sector in the medical industry, thus fears of stopping innovation. That's simply NOT true. The health insurers are out for profits--pure and simple.
Cathy, make sure you get the HIPPA certificate from your old insurance/CORBA should you decided to move to a cheaper insurance. Just read about the HIPPA certificate, then you know.
Oh please....it will give us a choice: huge and expanded profits for the health insurance companies and the drug companies while continuing this pay-or-die system that has plagued this country for decades, a system that takes 20,000 lives a year, according to the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences. Thats about fifty to sixty people who die every day. OR nationalized healthcare where the CEO and his greed are cut out of the equation.
I go to Mexico to get my dental work done, and it's cheaper to get dental work there than it is in the US with insurance. Overhead for doctors and dentist in this country is so high, because of the cost of malpractise insurance, which is another private insurance company, it's about time they got checked. And if my Government did nothing to protect consumers, I would be pissed, but they are doing something finally.

Then you'd be rich and you could afford health care.
Teacher?
