Yes. The voters have spoken. Comments:
Howard Dean, former chairman of the Democratic Party, has it right. This bill is such a mess that we need to throw it out and start over. Even Obama admits that too many things "snuck in there." Sart over; get it right.
The only health care reform we need is for the federal government to become less involved. I am not sure that this administration is capable of that.
yes,yes, yes!!!!
And, if they STILL haven`t gotten the message, we will show them for sure at the voting booth during this November`s election, make no mistake about it.
ITS THE ECONOMY STUPID!
Move on!!
They really don't care what we think.
If it was truely wanted, then getting it passed would've been quick and easy with everybody claiming victory.
I am so tired of hearing about the Health Care issue. It seems like obama and Polosi are stuck on this and they can't get on with anything else. No wonder why our country is going down the tubes! obama is doing everything else but defending our country. I wonder if he wants us to go down in ruin. Maybe this is the planet of the apes, the beginning of the end of the United States.
If it is not broke dont fix it. The obama and his pupppets need to be voted out.
Small adjustments can be made to fix a few problems but Obamacare socialism is not the way to go. The majority like their health insurance as it is but would like see it a little cheaper. Maybe after the 2010 elections when the Republicans have more say in congress we can get something more reasonable and affordable on the table.
We desperatly need tort reform. That would fix most of the health care problems we currently have. Democrats won't let that happen.
I was a very bad proposal
Time to concentrate on IMPEACHING Hoosane O'blah blah. He is incompetent. He is leading us down a path of financial destruction, dependent on Commie China.
The federal government should be forced to tighten its during a recession just like the rest of us need to do. Everything that they're doing right now is making business reluctant to hire or expand.
Reform is needed.
Government run health is not the answer.
Nobody should get special deals, not the unions not the state of NE not other states that sold their votes for hundreds of millions. This is Chicago style politcs and it sucks. This plan has lost all of it credibility, needs to start over from scratch.
Health care is soooo complicated that one person can't understand it... sooooo... what is working in the health care market.. world wide... none of them...!!!..so what makes us think that we can health care and have it cheep... can't... it will cost us all more money with the government involved... but still there are some good pieces of the proposed health care plan... just pay for it...!
Congress needs to stop bullying the people. There needs to be changes. One, they should consider health insurance providers be allowed competition across state lines. Secondly, the governing bodies already in place need to be more diligent regarding fraudulent practices within the health care field. Thirdly, lobbyists and lobbying - need I say more?
No. Some changes are still needed. Comments:
Health care reform is needed. They must provide insurance "access" now to those that don't have insurance especially those that have preexisting condition, they must make all health care insurance providers compete, (that means across state lines which the Fed forbids today), they need to make health care independent of whether you have a union representing your facility and increasing the health care cost, and they need tort or malpractice insurance reform which will limit lawsuits and lower medical costs to close to Europe and Japan levels. None of this is in Health Care Reform legislation so what does it all mean - START OVER! And work on bring jobs back to the USA while fixing the other messes the Congress keeps creating.
Yes, the voters HAVE spoken and they put the Democrats in charge in Nov. 2008. The only thing that should be dropped is trying to work with and please the Party of NO - The repugliCONs. If they don't want healthcare reform then let them just get along as they please, the rest of the country should move toward it. And as their greedy health insurance companies continue to drain every dollar out of their pockets, those of us that signed up for healthcare reform will just point and laugh and say, YOU GOT EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANTED, ASSHOLES!
The large insurance and drug companies have a huge vested interest to keep things the same. We seem to be gravitating toward third world status concerning health care. When Cuba and Canada have superior health care I wonder how people got sold this bill of goods---maybe Faux News helped!
NO: That is exactly what the big insurance companies want you to do. They have held off the citizens for 50 years and made billions of filthy dollars off the poor and lame. It is time to change the entire system. If they kill it this time ,it will certainly be very dead when the Republicans get their hands on the government again. The fat cats will party for many years.
The voters have spoken? The Democrats still have a sizable majority in both Houses of Congress. Don't go declaring that the so-called "liberal agenda" has been defeated because Scott Brown won an election.
Major changes are still needed and it would be stupid to throw away several months of work now. We desperately need some health care reform and the Democrats should just quickly pass it and move on to legislation intended to create jobs and address the other concerns raised by Obama in the State of the Union.
Republicans need to get over themselves and realize that they're the minority party right now, and that they don't set the agenda.
Drop present proposal and start over with Republican equal input.
I am in full support of President Obama's healthcare plan.
Everybody needs some type of health coverage. Medical expenses are so high people with insurance can hardly afford it. IF Bush had proposed it would the people be trying to knock it down.
ObamaCare should be completely dropped. However improvements are still needed in tort reform, allowing companies to sell health insureance across state line, and reigning in the tremendously mismanageed and wasteful Medicare program.
I have mixed feelings. Comments:
I think they should work on fixing the exhisting system. My mother is disabled, qualifies for social security/disability (she's 60) but cannot get medicare for 2 1/2 years,my dad is disabled from a stroke and had the same situation, things like that should be automatic. They shouldn't have to sell off all of their assets to qualify for medicaid.
