Health Care Debate - Irving, TX

We can't pay for this.

We are looking at this whole health care program all wrong. Should health care insurance cover every little thing that we need or should it cover us when we really need it bad. Example: Cancer, Heart Disease. I do have health care insurance and do enjoy paying 10.00 a visit, but I would be willing to pay cash for these visits and save the 10.00 visits over the next 30 years for when I really need it as I get older. If this were the case it would make insurance much more affordable, but this is just 1 part of the problem.

I can't help myself, but I think I am taking crazy pills when I here how great welfare is. I for one understand that welfare has a good premise, but unsatisfactory results that have effected negatively the very people it was suppose to help.

I am sure you can find examples of how it has helped good family's. I know some cases. From personal experience, I have dug myself out of tough situations without the aid of the government and I promise you I became a much better person because of it.

We must help people by allowing themselves to help themselves out, not paying them to not help themselves.

need this.

Well, how fortunate for you.$10.00 per visit. I pay $30.00 per visit, and I have fairly good insurance; $50.00 for specialist visit. It appears that you are spoiled, and your viewpoint just may be a bit askew. Nobody has been standing in line to pay my co-pays, and I am 64. By the time I get to Medicare, it will be totally broken.

With no apparent cap on personal liability, many people cannot afford health care. The insurance companies are ripping off the middle class and lower. I especially support the public option, which I believe would force these companies to lower their rates.

If dont think you can afford it now well just wait -its going to get awhole lot highr .
Have you read the bill ?

We will give you a loan, via T-Bills, so you can pay for it the way you are paying to your middle eastern wars and TARP. Vote Republican, and we will even finance your tax cut.

I've read some of the bill. Congress, as usual, is making a big mess. But our health care system is already a mess. Congress will let big business belly up to the money bucket, and we will borrow the money. Doing nothing is as bad, insurance companies will not pay for the care of those 65 and over with BIG premiums. Now most companies convert people 65 and over to medicare. Nobody, in the USA is even talking about a solution.

Won't solve the problem. Would make it worse.
