Health Care Debate - Massapequa, NY

[Dr Chivago]

It is going to add to much money to the deficit. We need tort reform and Medical fraud controlled. Not a complete overhaul of the healthcare system. I also oppose passing any legislation that has not been written yet.

A public option and tighter controls will make insurance more affordable for small business and for chronically ill patients, ie those with "pre-existin conditions". What is wrong with that?

[Deanna Birney]

no

[Is THIS America???]

Our country is in ridiculous debt - enough is enough! Federal Government should not be meddling in healthcare. So many freedoms lost - a little at a time...

debt over war, or debt for helping each other...? which is the proper course?

With the Obama healthcare bill slowing down, it will be seen that he has no allegiance to anyone, now that he is in. The government is now running a campaign against getting a mammography every year.There was not one onconolgist on that panel, so who are these people that think this way?
In addition, they are aginst the men getting a PSA testing every year. They have already admitted that they will be cutting back on the medicare proceedures they will cover, and the latest to oppose Obama-care is CHINA, who buys tons of U.S.
Bonds, and they are worried that the cost will put the U.S. at risk of defaulting on their debts.
All of the voters that voted for this Nutjob,
backed by the worse Congress we have ever had, will realize, that they had committed one of the worse errors in voting, they could ever have done.
This healthcare bill, was not necessary. Those that needed help could have gotten help from the government, the cost would have been 1/6th of what it is estimated to cost, and the majority of American people that have healtcare (86%) would agree with that. They claim that there is millions upon millions of of dollars lost in medicare claims, by fraudulent claims, well then, nail those that are doing this. Don't just say that it is happening, go after those that are doing it. What they are doing, is throwing everyone who lives in Long Island in jail,because there are some people on Long Island that are committing crimes, does that make sense?
Forget about party lines, we are talking about people that are making the laws, AND ARE NOT BOUND BY THE SAME LAWS THEY ARE MAKING! Why don't they be the first ones to step up to the plate and agree to take this same health care they are trying to hang around our necks? If the government needs so much money, why doesn't the government mandate a 10% pay reduction for everyone that works for the government? How about the parkways shutting off the lights during the day and conserve energy and money, before looking to increase the Taxes on home owners? How about giving a bonus for workers who work for the county, that come up with ideas of how to save money? How about the money the government gives out and is mandated by congress, to pander to certain congressman and Senators? You want to clean up the waste, and conserve money, start in your own house before looking to increase taxes on
the American people.

The government can not even run Medicare, nor Social Security, nor Fanny Mae....etc
Why would we trust them to fix something that is not broken?The house voted on a bill that 3/4 of them DO NOT UNDERSTAND, why then was the Bill rushed through.
Smell a RAT? Obama? Pewlousy? Dingy Harry?
My reason, whats yours?

[loco moco]

he's out of his mind! Saddling these costs for the next generation!

[Stop The Madness]

Soon, polls such as this - will cease to exist - since the government will know best as to what you should think and do...
