Senate to take up health care reform after landmark legislation passes House in close vote - wtvr

I certainly hope my senators will listen to their constiuents and not vote for this bill. I feel it's been forced down everyone's throats and don't understand it or the bill. I don't know who these people think they are. They don't represent the people and do whatever they want. This healthcare bill is out of this world. Where do we get the money? The country is bankrupt and China owns us. If you have kids, grandkids and pay taxes, I don't think you'd be interested in their bearing the debt either. This benefits the people who have lived their lives on social services, welfare and handouts, while people like us work to pay our taxes and support the next generation of these losers.

Senate seems slightly more sensible. Bashing insurance companies is not health care reform. Consumers create costs, need incentives to reduce them.

First of all how many of you are familiar with our Medicaid policy? I have an example for you I am a 24 yr old white female who was adopted by an african american family. my sister who at the time was 14 had my niece a week before he 15th birthday and that was back in December of 2003, since then she has now had 2 more daughters 1 born June of 2008 and the other who was 6 wks premature in Febuary of 2009. Now everyone do the math yes I know its ridiculous but what I find even more absurd is that she had all of these girls at MCV and due to the fact that she is under 21 they refuse to tie her tubes because medicaid won't pay. Now I ask the tax payers this which would you rather pay for her tubes to be tied, another pregnancy, or an abortion?

Not to be rude, but couldn't your sister take birth control or just keep her legs closed (which is 100% cost free).

Trust me I have been down that road with her before she is simple minded refusing to take birth control because she can't remember so she says. My grandmother and I are both nurses and use to administor the Depo shot to her every 3 months because oddly enough she is scared of needles but takes the epidural like a champ. Then once she turned 18 there was nothing we could do, now actually she is pregnant again and her 21st birthday is the 17 this month. I believe she has self esteem issues and issues stemming from her childhood without a father. Thanks for the thought i've tried
