Health Care Debate - Texarkana, TX

they have already failed at medicare why give them a larger scale to fail on as well.

because it is costing taxpayers trillions to pay for health care for those who don't have it. Doing nothing is not an option!

I think all people deserve health care and those of us that have it will benefit

Well I tried to vote on that silly polling on top of this post and it didnt work for me... so there..

LOL I swear I didnt mean to do that.. hey.. i have turrets and have no healthcare

Honey, I have worked in the industry for many years. I don't need a doctor from East Texas telling me something I already know first hand. Here are the important questions. Do you have health insurance? Can you afford the deductible. Can you afford the co-pay? Some are satisfied with their insurance and that's fine. The key thing is making it affordable for those who don't have it. Thank you.

Dr. Isaac Osborne said the EXACT same thing President Obama said. I guess it's different coming from someone you don't hate. LOL

"Let's fix what we have," Osborne told the crowd.

"I think we have the greatest healthcare system in the world. Since we do, why break it and scrap it? Why not keep the good and fix the bad?"

Osborne said that under the current system anyone without healthcare coverage with an emergency healthcare issue must receive treatment, by law, from hospitals. He said under the proposed system, all that benefit would disappear."

President Obama said those who are satisfied with their healtch insurance would be allowed to keep it. Other aspects would be reformed.
Same as what Osborne said.

$481/month for COBRA is a good example of why the health care system needs an overhaul. That is entirely too expensive.

Alrighty then, miss know-it-all. Since you've worked in the industry for years and know this stuff first hand, how about explaining to us mere mortals how much this wonder will cost, and how it will be paid for.

The government makes a mess out of every thing it does.

I think health care needs to be reformed

The number I read was approximately 3800 per year whether you want it or not. It is not optional. Young people just starting out will be shouldering the burden for people on welfare who obviously will have to pay nothing. This will force more people to go on govt programs which is exactly what Democrats want. The govt is going to dictate to you what you have to buy and how much you will pay. SOCIALISM!!!

all left nutz do..

Most Republicans think health care needs reform too!

Kill Medicare and refuse Health Care to the maimed, the poor and the elderly...It passed the Senate Finance Committee...

The Republicans are for reform, but not the kind that is in this bill. They would not allow them any input from the gitgo and Olympia Snowe is stupid for voting for this.

What kind of reform is in this bill? Do you even know or are you just mimicking Fox News?
