Just another example of how the myths exist on both sides of the isle. The bill does reference healthcare for all people not just citizens. If they want to leave that door open than it’s not a myth, is it? If they want to send a clear message that healthcare will be for citizens then all they have to do is put that kind of wording in the bill. That would make sense…only if they really mean it. But they won’t…so, you tell me…illegals included in this or not?

The largest problem with this whole mess is that the very ones who are running around with their townhall meetings and promoting the healthcare overhaul and are the ones who are goiing to vote, or the ones who haven’t read the bill they are voting on. A number of the democrats have made the comment that it would take an army of lawyers weeks to go thru the bill, so how can they be expected to know what is in the bill – yet they are going to defend and vote on it? There are a lot of what liberals call myths being put out by the Republicans, that aren’t myths. Instead what the Republicans are saying is that the areas of concern are what either the bill says, or implies by not saying it. A bad bill should not be voted on just because the intentions are good. If the democrats and Obama want this bill passed, then do what they have said they want, and put a bill together that encompasses what everyone wants. But instead, Palosi, Obama and the liberals are saying that anyone who opposes the bill, that we are just Nazis and terrorists. No, we are more patriotic than you are, and are of the mindset that it is better to not do something than to destroy the very fabric of our country. The democrats say that there are 47 million (and by the way, even their own studies dispute that number) that are without coverage. Most of those are either illegals, young people who normally opt out to save money, etc. But, iif the democrats want to help them, then set up a plan that covers them and leave the rest of us alone who are happy with what we have now. Oh, by the way, stop the doggone lawsuits and you’ll lower the costs also.

Another point, medicare doesn’t save money. Instead, they tell the doctor what is going to be reimbursed, and the rest of us by higher fees cover what it actually costs for the doctor to operate. We are goiing to see droves of doctors leaving their practices, and less young people entering because of their massive school bills, lawsuit expenses, etc. because Obama and his plan aren’t goiing to cover thhe actual costs. Those who support the plan, because they think they are goiing to “get something for free” should move to Canada and leave the US alone.

I believe that the following are two issues which disturb me as a citizen.
1. The expansion of the federal government and the need for more taxes for the new health care system under consideration. I have not heard exactly how it is to be financed.
2. The expansion of executive branch of the federal government and the lessening of the power of the legislative branch.

OBAMA KEEPS CHANGING HIS MESSAGE AND POSITION ON HEALTH CARE. THE US CANNOT AFFORD MORE TAX AND DEFICIT AND OBAMA IS LEADING THIS COUNTRY INTO IRRERVERSABLE BANKRUPTCY.
I HAVE LOST TOTAL CONFIDENCE IN OBAMA.

HEALTH CARE REFORM THAT CAN WORK.

1.HEALTH INSURANCE CAN BE BOUGHT IN ANY STATE,NOT JUST WHERE YOU RESIDE.2.INSURANCE CARRIERS MUST ACCEPT PEOPLE WITH PRE EXISTING CONDITIONS AT AFFORDABLE PREMIUM RATES. 3. ILLEGALS WILL BE BROUGHT UNDER CONTROL OR SENT HOME. THEY WILL NOT GET ANY GOVERNMENT BENEFIT UNTIL THEY ARE DOCUMENTED CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES. 4.VA BENEFITS WILL CONTINUE AND IMPROVE TO PROPERLY CARE FOR OUR WOUNDED SOLDIERS.5. THERE WILL BE CAPS ON TORT MEDICAL CASES. 6. SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE WILL BE FUNDED SO THEY CONTINUE AS SET UP ;ESPECIALLY FOR AMERICANS WHO PAID INTO THESE PROGRAMS. 7. DOCTORS WILL CONTINUE TO WORK IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR AND WILL NOT BE FORCED INTO SOME GOVERNMENT AGENCY. DOCTORS WHO WISH TO WORK IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR CAN DO THAT NOW IN CITY AND COUNTY AND STATE HOSPITALS.

IN MY OPINION, THIS SUMMERIZES WHAT WE NEED, IN A FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE WAY.WE DO NOT NEED A HUGE NEW GOV`T AGENCY TO RUN IT. ALMOST EVERYTHING IS ALREADY IN PLACE.NO NEW CZARS AND THEIR STAFFS ARE NEEDED TO RUN THIS PROGRAM

America needs some type of healthcare reform. Medical bills are causing undue hardship on American families and that is a
fact. The cost of insurance premiums is escalating with the
benefits decreasing every renewal period. The high cost of
insurance premiums are a huge burden of business and threaten American businesses to compete in a global economy because foreing businesses do not have that expense. So what are your suggestions and have any of you who are openly against healthcare reform ever had an illness that affected your finances? It’s easy to criticize the President’s effort but what do you suggest? Health Insurance Companies are making huge profits and dictating how doctors can treat their patients. It is time for something to be done. I don’t want socailized medicine either. There must be something we can do that would be better than socialized medicine. I think that what President Obama is suggesting is universl
insurance that everyone who works would help fund. Many people working today do not have health insurance offered at their jobs because the employer can not afford it. Many people today choose not to participate in offered health insurance benefits because it is so expensive so they play
Russian roulette with their health care and when something
bad happens then the American taxpayer pays the price in taxes. President Obama says that before we can work on the huge budget deficit our country has, we must do something about the astronomical rise in healthcare cost. I believe him. Don’t be closed minded and look at this issue along party lines. Think for yourself and look at the true facts.
You will be able to see the issues more clearly and come up with your very own thoughts. Maybe someone who thinks for themselves will be able to come up with the solution.
I have great confidence in America. We are a people that rise up in the worst of times. We need to pray. We need to be
thoughtful and smart. Realize that there is many who would continue to benefit from leaving healthcare alone and it not
the average,hard working, struggling to pay your health insurance premium, regular guy.
