Health Care Debate - Mount Prospect, IL

[sorta]

I do not think Obamacare will be fair. Government Healthcare (medicaid) is already unfair and selective to illegals and deadbeat welfare recipients.

[Pam Fehling]

The public option will cost the government less money. Without it, the subsidies they will provide to low income people to help pay their premiums will go to the private insurance companies who have a 30 % overhead. The public option overhead would be similar to Medicare's which is only 2%. The insurance companies do nothing to deserve this large profit. They just are money handlers and pay their CEOs and directors millions (and some billions!) and pay out dividends to their stockholders. The USA is the only industrialized country with FOR PROFIT health insurance.

The wealthy and low income people will get the best health care as they to now. The middle class will get the worst and will have to provide the subsidies.
