Health Care Debate - Livermore, CA

Health care isn't a privilege, it's a basic human right.

Don't trust it

It is time something is done.

Everyone always talks about how Americas is the greatest country yet we don't take care of our own people. Even prisoners get better health care than the law abiding citizens. It makes me sick. France, Canada, Switzerland and Ireland are among the few that have universal health care. Why can't we just get a few pointers from them.

I don't want the government to run my healthcare like they run the Post Office, IRS, FEMA or the DMV.

My opinion

NA

No thanks... I like my current health care. I am not interested in goverment run anything - look at the bang-up job they have done thus far with; the post office, DMV, social security, Medi-caid, public school system, on and on and on...

I already pay for healthcare. I shouldn't ahve to pay for someone else with new taxes.

Middle class Americans cannot afford Obamacare. The cap for a family at 400% FPL is 12-13% of their income. That's not reform, that's a giant ripoff. Can you imagine paying 10K a year in health care premiums out of your own pocket? I can't.

Americans are among the dumbest in the world. USA is a country on a steep downhill sloop. Why? Because they cannot come up with solutions to the simplest problems. Instead they have meaningless arguments and root for their silly political party, like it’s their favorite football team. The whole right vs left, republican vs democrat will be the downfall of this once great country. Americans no longer think for themselves they just go along with whatever party they belong to like mindless zombies. Democrats say white, Republicans say black. Republicans say yes Democrats say no. this process repeats it’s self over and over and nothing ever gets accomplished.

Pat - why are you here?

Every industrialized western nation has a "public option" type of insurance. It makes sense.

I support having a "public Option". We have a public option in our schools and other social services. It is good incase you lose your job and benefits.

waste of money

What public option are you referring to?

It is not a plan to benefit all people
it is a government money maker

I don't trust the government to run anything

The public option could be put out to bid to all the insurance companies.

Health insurance should be non profit.

I support death panels for conservatives
