As President Obama talked about today during his inaugural address, the cost of health care is alarming. This video illustrates the troubles that stem from the rising cost of healthcare. One day we, as Americans, will meet these challenges. Great work!

BTW- illegal aliens will not be covered under the public option.

Yes, it's coming out of people's taxes, but it'll be coming out of everyone's taxes, not just those making over 250,000. There are several systems in other countries (Canada, Britain, Germany, France, Austria, etc.), as well. While they're not perfect, those and MANY other countries seem to think it works OK.

If the overall population of the US is better kept and healthier, we can work and produce more as a country.

I was next on 11/17/2006, when my employer downsized again. But, while still employed there I wrote these words,

There are many factories moved oversea,

still one remains hope long it will be,

it's the charger plant the brave white knight,

good going friends, keep up the good fight.

A-For-Da-Ble Health' will save our economy,

it is in the best interest of everybody,

if every job moved out of the country,

than (tell me) whose gonna pay the medical fee?

oh FOX especially i mean dude with your views which are very progressive and seeing as you can actually see through this bullshit you should see it from another countries pospective.

FOX - we dont want the government to spend our tax money on healthcare because it will use all our money and they will use it to control you,

REST OF WORLD - oh so nothing like the military spending in iraq and afghanistan,

oh btw theyve got THOUSANDS of nukes im sure if they wanted to control you . .

@colour749 @colour749 This is true and it's crazy how our media has been bought off and says things based on political views. Fox News is republicans, CNN is leaning more Republican lately, and MSNBC is Democrat. Anyone who says anything different is lying out of their yellow teeth. It's sad that the US people are not agreeing that they are being brainwashed EVERYDAY. I do not hate my country I just hate the corporation buyout of our once fruitful country.

@NewRevolutionLeader

yeah completely thats what i meant about karl marx, marxism was meant to be something it wasnt and thats why he said that.

it is scary how brainwashed the american populus are from watching commercial television that plays down all socialism as they are huge corporations.

people in the us say the NHS is bad because CNN re-writes someones complaint in the uk to make it sound bad.

it helps that we have a BBC which isnt sponsored so says things how they are un-biased

@colour749

Karl Marx was no communist or facist and spoke alot of truth but also had crazy ideas. Communist is exactly what people call it here in the US when it reality they sit back and love to have some SOCIAL security benefits. Capitalism is just a bunch of crap spewed out of big corporations. Inflation occurs in America because too much money is controlled by the rich and little taxes are put on them which means they keep large amounts of money and the economy loses dollars.

@NewRevolutionLeader

but you are labeled by the media, corporations and brain washed american public

as a COMMUNIST! :O.

you want to destroy the right to make money for all americans and you want the government to have compelete control of everybody, and for the language to change to russian.

its funny how in america even the smallest steps of progression are communist evil and everyone with those beliefs are labelled as communist.

always remember.

KARL MARK - " I am not a marxist "

@corvetter68

He said that a larger part of the burden will lie on people making over 25,000, but he'll still be taxing everyone. If you think that the bill was nothing like setups in most all of Europe, Canada, Germany, Australia, etc,YOU have to give actual facts proving your statement.

How hard is it to understand that we'll be saving money and producing a better work force? You'd rather let fat cats get fatter while watching people die from treatable illnesses, than have a healthy populace?
