What do you think?

Yup teko a lot of the truth in what you have posted , I feel the same really, all I hope that whatever happens we can benefit from the new healthcare system, whatever they work out for us all.It doesnt kick in for years anyway so we are still with our insurance or whatever  . yet we will be paying for it NOW ....

I think there is enuff blame to go around as to how we got here so I do not feel the need to name names, really doesnt matter at this point anywho. I do think the majority of folks see the need for change and that is what its gonna be one way or the other. I have to tell ya tho, all this talk about public option and people not liking the idea surprises me. We already have a government option and have had for years. Medicaid and I think Medicare is right there with it. Medicaid is full of people who dont want to work and keep having babies to make sure they dont have to. I been paying into medicare for years but looks like it might be gone by the time I get old enuff to use it. I have to say that I do not totally understand everything, and I guess if I did I would not be posting on here and I would have lots more money and not have the issue of health care, but from what I do no, the current system is broken and getting more broke every day. I just wish I knw the answer.

It was a choice of many Americans especially the younger ones not to have health care and remember they counted the Illegal folks in their quoted Millions figure, actually I heard the reverse, it is not as big a figure as quoted. they have given all rights to the illegal its in this bill even though he said recently he wasnt going to. I dont know the exact figure but I have read many many Americans are  happy with what they have , he wants the illegal votes after Amnesty.. its all politics ...by the way as I have said before there are many Free clinics out there that have always given illegal people healthcare coverage , its not just the ER...wait till you see what price has to be paid out each month ..mandatory or penalties ...

I would agree about the debt as regards before but it is continuing to spiral out of control now. When Clinton was president he promised to pass a healthcare plan and that never materialized. There are millions of Americans without healthcare and there doesn't seem to be a workable solution in place. I'd rather hear promises that everyone recieve healthcare than everyone be insured because insurance can easily put in costly denials, premiums, co-pays or deductables that often make paying out of pocket easier and more affordable which is the reason a certain number of people don't apply for it to begin with.

I also do think that this started a long time back,before Clinton was in Office, but it is this President now who is spending Trillions , printing money and continueing to do so,not addressing the economy ,and making us pay now for a health care system not coming in for 5 years  how much taxes can all of us pay, its not the rich there arent that many it is all working people.....I see Ireland is up in arms about the Goverment breaking that country, I mean Sourhern Ireland not the North that is part Of the UK ....I think if you dont see what he is doing to this country you have your eyes closed..what does it take ..well keep on blaming Bush if that helps you ...

In the Hisory of America no one has run up this kind of debt , my honest opinion is we are going broke, bankrupt ....

It's just unbelievable how quickly we forget the Bush presidency, and what a broken mess that was handed to this current president.
