    Obama care= Control over Americans... if he controls your health care oops and lets not forget student loans( yes he has them now too) There IS no competition the other companies will fold as they cannot afford to compete with Obama care. If he controls your insurance he controls you and your vote. YOu will have to go where they say(they control you) you will have to do what they say( only 2 kids per household) don't forget this is a man who likes to abort babies. YOur mother wont be able to have surgery if shes too old( how in the hec else do you think they are going to keep costs down? They are getting ready now to usher in all the illegal aliens and give them amnesty... to replace the vote they will lose on this bill.... Once they have the votes back all bets are off for ALL of us... White , Black, Asian you name it. You think he cares about you? hahahahaha get real ...Obama cares for Obamaand his agenda You will become his slave essentially under his control... If you don't support him... whoops there goes another one of your rights.... don't people see where this is all going... wake up guys while you can.... Think Chavez, Castro( you saw where he just praised our new Health care... IT MEANS CONTROL!!!! You will not even have health care for 4 more years but you WILL be payin the taxes on it NOW.... please check this all out ... America is loosin this war

    The last Two Administrations promised that Medicare will implode about halfway through the Baby-Boomers. This Administration holds it up as a model of government efficiency. Obama says we can all have health care, Medicare won't be touched, there will be new government oversight to make sure everything is done right, it will cost less than a Trillion, and not a dime will be added to the deficit. That's the biggest load of crap I have ever heard a politician promise. I was yelling worse things at the screen than liar by the time he was done. I will say this "I want to believe" but I think I'll see a UFO on the Capital Lawn before he can pull that rabbit out of a hat.

    Health Care is broken it costs too much and doesn't get people well, does not get them glasses, thier teeth fixed, or help them if they go into an emotional spin out. Obamas answear was too put everybody into the system that doesn't fix the problem it just makes it worse. Competition there isnt any.First of all you dont know what you are going to get and, what you are not. So how can you compare.You dont know wether Doctors are great or a hack. Hospitals can make you sicker than you are. Who wants to end up in an ER with a resident whos been on call 24hrs.Drugs cost more in the US than anywhere in the World. Obama promised major change, this isn t change its a shoddy mashup of a broken system. Malpractice has to go whats his answear we will study it. If your going to put everyone in the system except the illegals(like they wont get served at the ER) whos going to pay for the poor who have some of the highest costs the bottom of the middle class?. It seems to me you have to take the obscene profits out of the hands of private insurance and plow them back in the system. Not under Obamas plan they are left alone. You are not going to pay for health care with taxes so it means the poor and the middle class are going to get hit with a mandatory plan.No wonder the Republicans were cheering its a total sell out. He'll be able to say he got a plan threw but the middle class and the poor are at the breaking point and dont have money to lay out because THE ECONOMY SUCKS. A ride in the ambulance in Corpus is 850.00 dollars for what the Doctors Carribean Vacation? We dont have private fire department s and public ones, we dont have private police and public police.Obamas speech was a lot of Rah rah wouldnt it be nice and moral if everyone was covered with no substance and no way of doing it.

    Super basic insurance for anyone but you have to pay a little for it. And I mean really cheap. $10 a month? And by super basic, I mean really really bare bones health care. With the option that you can still go to Blue Cross and buy more... My only question is how the us will ascertain that you can afford it and are not buying it.. I say, you don't get any care then. Uless you pay cash.

    I want to see it in writing as he is famous for saying what he knows we want to hear, but not meaning a word of it. Unfortunately too many actually believe him, but with healthcare it is just too imporant to be fooled. He was the one that wouldn't work with all in congress so let's see him open the door to both sides. I remember him stating to shut up and get out of the way so that he could clean up the mess. I'm sorry, but although I want to believe, there has been too many lies.

    Did you two (Scott D and John S) listen to the speech? It kind of answered both of your concerns.

  7. Scott D said on Sep 09 2009, 20:09 PM:

    Promises and plaitudes with no discussion of how it is actually going to be administered or paid for --or how we are going to avoid the corruption and bureaucracy of the government test-run for healthcare--Medicare. You know, Medicare. The government administered program that is trillions in the red and is a nightmare of Soviet-era red tape and delay? Yeah, that one.

    Just tell me when those idiots in Washington actually come up with a plan that they can explain to the American people. So far everyday I hear the same crap from both sides. I don't get hopes up for anything the government has its hands in creating. Too many Indians not enough chiefs in Congress. The White house should say what it wants in the health care bill and make it so and vote. If it passes great! if not then move onto something else. Like figuring out why jobs are scarce and people can't make house payments let alone health insurance from anybody. President Obama needs to get a grip on reality and quit trying to make his legacy on health care right now. Otherwise his legacy might be on how he spent too much time on getting health care for a few million while tens of millions still are unemployed!
