The plan is terrible. It will harm Senior citizens who will in many respects simply change places with the currently uninsured. Insurance (Medicare) that is not affordable (co-payments and premiums) and/or denies care because you are old and the cost of the care is too high, might as well not exist. In addition, the plan is designed to undercut choice by creating this monster called the public option. Within a very few years, the other plans will be out of business and we will all be under the public plan. Lastly, the numbers proffered by the President and the Dems (of which I am a member) are lies. The real number of uninsured Americans who cannot afford to buy a plan is more like 15mil. That looks like a lot, but there are ways to cover them now without totally destroying what the majority of the Nation is happy with. Why does the President insist on this at this time? We must all ask this question.

Yes...please defeat this health care reform stuff. If this reform passes, hundreds of health insurance CEO's will have to sell their mansions in the French Riviera. They also may have to reduce the number of servants at their remaining mansions to only 5 or 6 at each location. Please, please, please help us keep these valuable CEO's in place so they can continue denying coverage to millions of hard working Americans. If this health care reform passes, we may have to take up a collection to help support the lifestyle of these CEO's. It's just not fair that you want these CEO's to live on less than the millions of dollars in bonuses they receive each year by denying coverage to millions. Please keep fighting to deny affordable health care/coverage to American citizens and maintain the lavish lifestyle of the insurance company CEO's.
