Health Care Debate - Merritt Island, FL

it's badly needed. it should reduce the cost of insurance due to compitition. we pay for it anyway with the un-insured in hospitals

Health Insurance Premiums and Requirements and Providor's charges need to be revised, not Health Care.

House/Senate proposed bill are too big and contain major increases in government take over of 17% of economy, control of individuals,too expensive,too intrusive and a major expansion of government.
We need tort reform, cross state selling of medical insurance and a crack down on fraud in Medicare/Medicade.

How can our country afford 'health care reform'?

Yes but to save the $500B in waste-fraud, our gov't wants to borrow almost $1T.
That just doesn't make sense does it?
Who borrows $1.00 to save $0.50?
Only our gov't does this.

No other person or company I have ever heard of will do that.
They try to eliminate the waste-fraud & then keep or use those savings.

I absolutely oppose this bill

I absolutely oppose this bill unless the president and his family, the senate and congress are forced to be included in the exact plan as everyone else.

Socialism is coming folks, Hillary's dream is about to come true....

Oh me oh my, what fear you prattle on about. Why are you so stupid as to not realize the benefit of it??
Would you perhaps be one of the rich few who will benefit from the bastardization of a decent idea??
Congress and senate have given the insurance billionaires a blank check with this piece of crap.
And the IRS gets even more power.
I'd say it's time to get out the guns and support our enimies instead..

Cure the problem. Don't create a huge beauracracy that will end up costing us more.

Not true, friend. Politicians get very good healthcare for free. In Florida it cost taxpayers about 45 million. See WFTV.com . Other Floridians have to pay for theirs ans well as others.
Who do you suspect picks up the tab when some scumbag gets gunned down in the ghetto??
The person with insurance who's staying at the same hospital.

Beachlady;I pay 25% of my retirement for my medicare and suppliment,but I had rather do that than put more on the taypayers back.

I think I'm going to be glad Brown won in Ma.

There is no way this plan is going to work without everyone paying dearly for it. I am retired and will suffer with higher cost and higher taxes.

We have troops in hundreds of countries.You and I are taxed to pay for that.They don't demand all people buy bombs and planes with deductibles and copays or go to jail.They just fund it with taxes.if they cut out the for profit ins health paper pushers they could tax us and fund it just like they do all their so called peace keeping missions.The bill the ins companies wrote and our Senate approved is not about health care.It is about total control over every aspect of your life

Glad you noticed that.Just like the econ reform bill. When the banks were limited to how much overdraft they could charge, they came upwith a new idea.
Short term loan at 120%. Compounded that turns into 1800% per month.Yeah, them representatives are sure looking out for us ....

Name something that covers all Americans that isn't expensive! You say we cant afford it? Then why can we afford over $700 Billion per year for our military when the enemy "supposedly" lives in caves & rides camels? What you don't understand is that our country is going bankrupt & our nation's jobs are relocating precisely because our healthcare as it stands RIGHT NOW is too expensive. It costs the most and gives the worst return on investment, it needs to be fixed. The GOP just doesn't want to give Obama a perceived win, they don't care if it helps this country or hurts it, they just don't want the Dems to score a win.
