We cannot afford it. We cannot cut medicare benefits to pay for it.

[Lehigh Transplant]

we don't need the gov'ment in our health care the way they have already destroyed the auto industry, banks ETC..Granted we may need some reform, but not socialized medicine

health care is a personal responsibility - not a right.

Then shouldn't saving for retirement be as well?

I am - I will retire in 2 years at the age of 59 with my private company pension that I have paid into, plus the $$ that I have been putting into savings. Social Security is NOT a retirement income - it was set up as SUPPLEMENTAL. the whole idea of the government providing everyone everything they need has gotten out of hand.

Kindly show us where in The Bill of Rights, that it says The Gov'ment is to provide Health Care.

You must be one of the ones that voted for the Anointed One, after Pelosi said we will give you another stimulus check after Obama wins the election, You and how many others let $250.00 sway the vote.

We need a healthy nation if we are going to compete with the rest of the world. Over 30% of our nations youth are fat and destined for early diabetes.

that is not a good enough reason to institute a national health plan and have only a few pay the bill.

why not fine or tax the families that allow their children to get too fat? oh - wait - that is violating their rights.

why not take the fat kids away from the famlies that allow them to get fat? oh - wait - that is violating their rights.

lets face it - our nation was built on "personal responsibility" for each person's life. I dont feel that I should pay the bills for those who dont feel they have to be responsible for their health.
