- I never realized I was living next to a third world country. Then again, most third world countries spend more on the military than ensuring the health and wellness of their citizenry.

- This "us and them" mentality only serves to divide the nation's interests.
Insurance companies and lawyers get the most benefit from our health care system. We the People should be the ones to benefit the most from it.
Provide a basic level of insurance that any American can opt to accept or not. Then allow those with the wherewithal to buy more-luxurious or more-timely care.
There will be no absolutes... No extremist options... Compromise from both sides is the only solution.
You WILL compromise - hear that, extremists? Talking to both sides, here...
Why?? This is America, and we are better than this.

- These are the people who the right wing fringe wants to leave to die. These are the folks who the uncompassionate few do not care about and even want to die. These are the faces of Americans and American compassion in action. The right wingers are not posting here because they have no care, concern, or compassion. The right wingers have no vision for the folks who are left behind. The uncompassionate will not post here because they pretend these people do not exist. They can not see these people, they can't comment about these people, they have no compassion for these people.

- Thank you so much for shifting the focus tonight from those idiotic town hall meetings to what is the very real problem for 47 million Americans - the lack of affordable health care. How pitiful to see those people waiting in line for free health care in the richest country on Earth. If only those clueless, gun-toting, bigoted, Obama-haters would think for one second "there but for the grace of God go I", I am sure there would be no argument against healthcare and health insurance reform.

- The US is now a third world country thanks to Bush and the Republicans giving the country to the wealthy and corporations so it is appropriate that a groups that helps third world countries help America.
We are in a depression because of Bush's tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations.
The US is the ONLY western country that does not provide health care to all its people. The US provides the same healthcare as Sudan, Somalia, and those Kazakawhateverstan countries nobody can pronounce.
In fact the only other halfway advanced country that does NOT provide health care is communist China.
You right wingers should be very proud that the US is so backwards and the laughing stock of the world when it comes to health care.
All of the garbage from the right wing being used to scare people is lies, I looked it all up using top sources and organizations (not political). - Reply to this comment
- This is the reason why there will be a major change in the United States Health Care System. I can't say if it will happen this time around, but, it will happen sooner or later. I don't care how you feel about it. The fact is, there are so many Americans who lack access to adequate health care, and that number is growing so rapidly, that those in opposition to health care reform are rapidly becoming the minority. In fact, they probably already are in the minority. I'm not making a pitch for or against health care reform. I'm just saying that it will happen. Those who don't want to see it happen had better figure out a way to make American health care accessible to lots more Americans, and they'd better act fast. The number of people without access to health care will soon be so large that they'll completely dwarf the number of insured Americans. The only thing holding the anti reform boat afloat is the huge number of American seniors, most of whom already get their health care courtesy of a Government program called Medicare. Essentially, all the Federal Government is suggesting right now is that Medicare be expanded to cover everyone. A lot of seniors feel this would mean too many people in the Medicare boat. They may be right. I won't argue that. However, in a democracy, where the majority rules, I can definitely say that the uninsured will be in the VAST majority very soon the way we're going. They may be there already. Health Care reform is coming. That's a fact.

- No, it can't be. These people are supposed to be waiting patiently for the free market economy to give them jobs so they can pay through the nose, have their claims denied and be screwed when they get sick like the rest of us.

- I really appreciated seeing CBS open tonight's news, not with town halls but with a reminder of what health care reform is all about. The story on the free health clinic (in Los Angeles, I think), was excellent. It reminded us that health care is not about people shouting, "Obama is a Nazi," making death threats, and carrying guns into raucous meetings. It is about hurting people million of them. And those people are hurting while health care CEOs like CIGNA's are making millions of dollars and getting huge golden parachutes.
The time has come for there to be more balance in this nation, for the hurting people to be thought of again, and for the CEO's to be satisfied with one million a year instead of twelve million or twenty-four million a year, two health care CEO salaries published in the last few months.
Thanks to CBS for running at least one story which reminds us of the hurting people. - Reply to this comment
