Thanks for the update HL! I agree that this bill is not what it is projected to be and will hurt more than help.

Hi Healthy.
The bill is a real sham. No change would be better. Can't understand why the R's are still fighting it?

woodzchick: You would think the fact that people can't pay for their homes would be a sign that they can't afford to pay for health insurance either.



Duh... ya think???wow

I have been watching these sessions for months. I think I have a good perception on what this is all about and why the rush to pass it.

First of all, why must the American people foot the bill?
This bill has nothing to do with us. We will get absolutely nothing from it. Passing Legislation to restrict Insurance companies and Doctors pay, etc. should not cost us a thing.

It's been pointed out that the deficit is way up there and there is no way to pay it. Our tax dollars are being factored in, as a way to pay off the deficit. They need OUR money!! This whole thing is bogus! They are using this bill as legislation to gain more tax revenue. They intend for the current deficit to be paid off in 4 years, BEFORE any Health Care insurance will be available without discrimination.

Think about it. Just what do we get for paying these increased taxes? Nothing! Do you get Health Care in 2014? NO! You get the opportunity to BUY your own Health Insurance.
Whooptie Dooooo!!cheering
very mad

Why are they rushing this through before Christmas? Cos they want to start taking your Tax Dollars on January 1st, 2010!!

It's a scam! I wish people had watched the House and Senate debates on this, so they would know what it's really all about.
The government is deceiving the people by using the name of Health Care Reform, which we all agree needs to be done. Thing is, this Bill does NOT reform Health Care. It requires the people to pay increased taxes and makes it mandatory to purchase insurance. You will be FINED if you do not purchase insurance, (just like on your car), you have no choice. If you do not pay the new taxes, you can go to jail and be fined.

Now tell me that this is in the BEST interest of the American people? 61% of the American people are AGAINST this Bill!!!

Wooooo! I'm on you guys side. I don't want the bill to pass, either. I was just stating that it seems like common sense to us that if we can't pay for our homes, we sure can't pay for health insurance. I wished that they could see that. I am unemployed. It wouldn't take but a couple of bad weeks and I could be homeless. It scares me to think that if they pass this bill and I have to start paying for health insurance....I can't. I have no extra money. I'm living off of half the income that I was accustomed to.

I was just agreeing with the OP. I don't like the way they are handling things.
