Health Care Debate - Murfreesboro, TN

Healthcare reform is long overdue and the president won the last election, not his opponents who want to change his agenda but did nothing themselves on this topic when they had control of congress and presidency during the Bush years.

This is America and no one should be without health care or bankrupt because of poor coverage

The Obama plan will end up rationing health care and when I become old they will decide I have lived long enough and will let me die.

States are welcome to try their own health care plans. It is perfectly within the bounds of our Constitution to do so. However, it is outside the bounds of the Constitution for the federal government to try such a plan, and thus it is illegal. The powers of the federal government are clearly outlined in the Constitution, and the feds are expressly forbidden to go beyond these powers. Americans are now too stupid to even read and understand their own Constitution, or to recognize when their leaders are violating it. Shame on us!

h needs to up grade out present health care

for those people who are out of work and needs assist

the insurance,hospital.and doctor are over charging the taxpayer,and the american public to much money.

It's a bad plan,undermines healthy competition; weakens our health system and will indeed lead to taxpayer funded abortion. The people who will fund it do not support it!

You my friend, are oh so right. Healthcare reform will take us to one big giant step towards socialism. Its a sad day, we the citizens must fear our own government and the powers they abuse. They have locked the Constitution in a box. The current administration have opened a new rule book...and we better brace ourselves. Reminds me of this; "Where the People Fear the Government, there is Tyranny. Where the Government fears the People, there is Liberty....Thomas Jefferson

The Great Prophet Obama's agenda is to grow the government, socialize everyting he can, and increase his own power over you. He truly believes that you are stupid and you are proving him right.

This plan will obviously cost more than our country can afford- Don't be fooled into believing only the rich will pay- we'll all pay, big time the medicare program will suffer - coverage will e less and the well to do will be first in line for care- it's a bad deal!

Does anyone here really believe that this govt gives a damn about what americans really want or think about health care reform?

The AMA does not represent what most physicians think.They are just another special interest high? power lobbying group.These are the folks who are blowing off the American people and they can, because votes and reelection depend on them and usually does not represent the voice of Americans!

ask the canadians why they come to the united state because they have this plan in canada i have friends up there and they say medicial up there is really bad you are put on a list for like a heart transplant or any surgery you have to have

dont want the future of health care left in the hands of greedy cooperations

This is not health care, it's a tax to kill us

The present system is unsustainable. The present proposed legislation needs a public option.

IT,s time for change all the conservatives want is to keep everything like it was in 1948

The current system is not all bad. Certain parts of it could be better but the way this "Health Care bill" is written leads us a step closer to total government control
of the AMERICAN people.(a.k.a. Socialism!)

this isn't about health care. if soetero could have gained this much control by promising every American a pet bunny-rabbit, he would have done that.
this is about encroaching gov't intrusion into private business.
healthcare has been insulated from the free market for too long. no one CARES how much a procedure will cost, because of their insurance footing the bill. the market forces never enter the equation. we need to fix THAT, not ruin the economy even further by giving gov't more control into it.
YOU CANNOT TRUST THE GOVT TO DO ANYTHING but take measures to increase their own power, at the expense of your freedom.
NO ONE in America is denied care, not even illegals who crowd into ER's for every hangnail and stubbed toe.
this is about SOCIALISM, not healthcare.
