I had no idea that 30 percent of Americans represented the majority.

SINGLE PAYER NOW!!!!

PUBLIC HEALTH PLAN:

ALL Americans are now paying in HIDDEN TAXES the cost for medical care for the "UNINSURED" who must use the Emergency Room.

With President Obama's Health Plan ALL AMERICANS will be covered. These HIDDEN TAXES will disappear.

WHY is a ... "PUBLIC GOVERNMENT PLAN" ... good enough for all REPUBLICAN SENATORS in Congress ... but NOT good enough for ALL AMERICANS who choose this option over a Private Plan??

AGAIN we see the blatant REPUBLICAN LIES & HYPOCRISY !!

STRIKING DIFFERENCE BETWEEN---PRIVATE & PUBLIC---HEALTH CARE:

PRIVATE:

Places the INSURANCE COMPANY between YOU & YOUR DOCTOR. The Insurance Company DECIDES what treatment they will authorize & pay for ... or what claim they will deny & cancel the policy.

PUBLIC:

Your DOCTOR is the one who DECIDES what treatment YOU require. NO profit involved. NO more red tape. NO begging with Insurance Company for approval.

All SENATORS in Congress have a GOVERNMENT run PUBLIC PLAN !!

I still think somebody should table a bill removing Senators and Representatives from public healthcare, forcing them to all go out and get private insurance. I'd just like to see a record of who's a hypocrite and who is not, on both sides of the debate.

But on face value, I have no respect for any congressman who trashes public healthcare while continuing to accept it. That's just a no-brainer.

Half of all bankruptcies in the U.S. are caused by medical bills. And worst of all, THREE QUARTERS of those bankrupted by medical bills HAD HEALTH INSURANCE! (Or so they THOUGHT!)

There are virtually no medical bankrupties in Canada. A few years ago my 70 year old mother in Canada fell and broke her pelvis. Was hospitalized for six months, including recovery and physiotherapy. She wasn't charged a penny.

Republicans seem to use the "Americans want this...." and "Americans don't want that..." line quite often, huh. Instead of asking what Americans want, they're telling them what they want! But Republican supporters still roll over and play dead on command. Maybe Republican supporters like the concept of having people tell them what they like and telling them how to live their lives; they're anti-independence. Which is kind of the opposite of traditional right-wing politics. Odd, huh...

[sachaput]

Republicans don't need any stupid polls or the opinions of the American people! They know what we need and don't need and we should be thankful.

Just pitiful!

Me too, Caramel. What happened to the American sense of commonwealth, and love of neighbor like Jesus taught?

[CaramelAnt]

I'd be willing to wait in longer lines if it meant that people no longer had to die from treatable ailments.

I know. I was a high school teacher for 14 years. And I still have some of those old habits. Dont worry, you'll get over it.

[RoseSkye]

Old habits die hard.
