Yeah isn't that why we ELECTED him in the first place. WE have to do something with our FAILED and VERY EXPENSIVE system and we need to do that NOW. IF we'd have done something 3 decades ago, GM isn't in Bankruptcy!!

Joe I've been a Liberal for as long as I can remember and not only did you TOTALLY distort the ISSUE, you Totally distorted my position. How does someone debate with that? Let's start with small letters here so you'll understand better. WE, the PEOPLE, debated this ISSUE for TWO YEARS before the Election. ONE fact came from that debate.. this NATION wants our FAILED Health Care System REFORMED. With me so far? Now NO ONE that I'm aware of in this debate is suggesting ANY free ride for ANYONE. What is being talked about is trying to fix a system that cost us MORE by twice than any other on the Planet. IF you don't like the "Liberal" position, let's here YOURS. If you have NONE and wish to leave it for the Kids... then why bother with the childish banter?

You have to make insurance mandatory for universal health coverage to work. Otherwise, those without insurance will continue to fill emergency rooms with normal clinic or office call complaints. The cost of seeing a trauma specialist the the ER is 10 -20 times the cost of seeing your primary care ohysician. The Gov't. is taliking about subsidizing the cost of insurance for those forced to purchase it--they just want to get them out of the ER's whenever possible.

How about we wait to see what Congress comes up with and then decide if we like the Public Option or the Private. NO ONE is being forced into the Government Plan and Con's have been telling us for DECADES about all the failure of a Public System. I find it hard to believe that people would just take a bad plan over a good one.

It's time! It's time to turn up the HEAT! We put this President in OFFICE and we KNOW why and how we did it. Time to turn up that HEAT! Not ONE Representative, regardless of Party, gets away with NOT getting this done.

So now he is pushing to get the health care pushed through....giving deadlines. Just like he did with the so-called stimulus bull. He wants everything rushed through so his baffling with bs does not get recognized and scrutinized by the ever-loving media. God knows Congress will not scrutinize, unless they can read on bended knee to their beloved.
Why oh why should I pay for someone else's medical care when I have worked hard (legally), saved money and can make my own choices ?!?!?

Why should you pay ? so SkyK can get his free ride off your dime and have his trips to the doctor paid for by who ??......YOU

[skyk-2009]

Oh YEAH Joe! I remember those guys... how can we EVER forget the Republican Lie! Hey I got an idea all you folks out there who are suffering through the worse economic meltdown since the great depression, let's say it together! "We will cut taxes to the Rich, that will TRICKLE DOWN to you working stiffs". "Then we're going to "Cut Spending" which will make up the MASSIVE DEFICITS the Wealth Shift Caused"! ROFLMAO You've got to be kidding?? ROFLMAO You'd HONESTLY buy THAT lie again?? ROFLMAO!! Hey Joe! I got some LAND to sell... it's a little wet but it will do just fine for you!! ROFLMAO

[Joe_NY_15]

It's YOUR turn to what, steal from your fellow Americans to pay for services you can't afford and fund your liberal idea of a free ride to the doctors ?? many healthcare costs are shared by the employer, so your notion that we are "continuing to ask American worker to pay for the whole load" is just that....a load of ______.

[skyk-2009]

I have a better suggestion. Talk to a LIVING PERSON who is actually UNDER such a plan! Talk to someone who LIVES and WORKS for a LIVING in Canada! LOL This dodge is so old... do you people actually think, given what we have today, you can get away with this? LOL IT's TIME!

[skyk-2009]

You know IF you ditto heads had a brain you'd be dangerous! I mean it isn't like this is something NEW!! IF you hadn't been so busy with those Rumors and Lies during the Election you'd KNOW that. IF the Pols do NOT get a HEALTH CARE PLAN out of Congress by the Next Election there WILL most certainly be a price to pay.
