Health Care Debate - Gig Harbor, WA

[Tommye Janell]

It costs too much. As a country, I don't believe we can afford it. We need to stop care for illegal aliens until all our citizens have their basic medical needs met. No care should be free, however. Each person who gets it should have to pay something for it, no matter how small their income. Put the payments on a sliding scale. No one takes care of what they get for free, then just abuse it and expect more.

Insurance companies are getting high profits and need to be removed from the big picture.

How can you support anyone or anything that discounts the unborn and the elderly?

NO, I definately do NOT support his health care proposals... or much else from the man or his administration.

WRONG!!!!!!!!! The Great Prophet Obama said in his address to the joint session of Congress that the number is 30 milion. It used to be 47 million but Barry and his communist pals had to discard the illegals and bring the number down to 30. Now of that number 20 million could afford coverage but chose not to buy it because they are too healthy, too stupid, or too cheap to do so. That leaves only 10 million to take care of. Now Barry and his buds do not really care about these wretches. They are only after complete control over you and your pathetic life. Barry thinks you are stupid and you are proving him right.

who do you think runs Medicare...one of the most popular and successful programs ever? This is something that has been needed for my whole life and though I'm not happy with it all, at least SOMETHING is being done! The stupidity of people never ceases to amaze me. THINK PEOPLE!!! Use your head for what the Good Lord intended.

I would disregard any negative thoughts towards health care reform. All I hear are speculations and assumptions that this is a bad idea. Democrats have backed up their facts, and the only thing Republicans can say is that it is not going to work. They don't say exactly why; they are a bunch of mouth flappers. They only want to force their opinions upon the people in hopes that it will some how hurt the Democratic party. Democrats have a good track record as far as I am concerned. It was under the Clinton administration when we actually had a surplus instead of debt. What is so wrong with making health care affordable?

Also, I want to address the illegal immigrant issue. There is nothing wrong with people wanting a better life. Many illegals are from communist nations. Many are oppressed. Many are trying to escape in order to live in freedom. Do not forget, that this is why the United States exist.
