Health Care Debate - Port Henry, NY

[Pat]

Obama is a joke, just wants to spend more money, YES, ours,

[matt]

Obama got a wake up call with VA and NJ going back to red states with their GOV. Lets just say 2010 is looking like another 1994

[matt]

Ask anyone from Cananda or France just how good gov run health care is! Why do you think they all come to the usa to get healthcare. Also to add everyone in america has health care! some people don't have insurance but all have health care.

[crystalstoddard]

You get nothing from the goverment Their's always same way you pay for the health care. No matter how you look at it. It comes down to just talk. Let's see if they going to do anything

[boost]

We are being forced to find health coverage. There is no restrictions in this bill for Ins. carriers. We will be paying dearly for coverage and in my case the penalty 2.5% of my wages will be less than the coverage per month I will pay for coverage. This is another example of Gov. stronghold. Get Obama out.....

[boost]

This healthcare bill is scary. It is another way of burring the working family. I cannot afford one more payment per month and with this new "reform", I know what is going to happen to my premium in Jan. It is going to skyrocket....the ins. companies are going to go crazy. We are doomed. This president is Nuts! He has allowed Major credit card companies to increase Interest rates to 30% and that is on someone who never misses or makes late payments. What is going to become of the American family, we are going to be the next 3rd world country. Only the government will be living well....very scary

[boost]

so who pays the 2.5% on the deadbeats that don't work??
Why work for a living??? Your screwed.

your data and opinion are flawed. I work in Canada on a regular basis and they (Canadians) are astounding at how screwed we are down here when it comes to health care.
i find that it's the morons with an intelligence rating of an ant that are screaming the loudest that we don't need health care reform. Also, if you would bother to look at who is screaming the loudest against it in government, you'd see that those loudmouths are backed by pharmaceutical and insurance companies. But, no... we can't actually have any research into an issue, can we? No no no... that would be too much like being intelligent. Why be intelligent when it's soooooo much easier to be a conservative dittohead stooge.

THINK for your damn self.

no, that's not right either.
the fact of the matter is that something, ANYTHING at this point, needs to happen to stop the steep slope of overcharging. Overcharging for hospital services, overcharging on premiums, overcharging on medication...

why is health care so damn expensive to begin with? What makes us so different from Europe and Canada?

[peg leg]

Well there is always one in turd in a bunch . Do turds float by the way ? Just curious.

I agree with you about the "overcharging". The problem is that their are no mentions of that in this healthcare bill. Their is no limitations on the health care companies for premiums. Premiums are the problem that people cannot afford to pay for insurance. When an employee is only guarenteed a three day pay week and will pay over $300.00 bi-weekly for a family plan, it is kinda impossible to carry insurance.
This whole plan sucks for anyone who works. Who will pick up the slack for the unemployed??? too many unanswered questions in this plan

[Some perspective]

I am so sorry to hear that you are paying $300 bi-weekly for insurance. That is outrageous! Our most expensive plan is about $65/week and that is with 3+ kids (MVP -$500 ded; $20 co-pay plan). I know jobs are sparce; but consider another employer when you can. This is not an employer that cares about it's employees; unless it has alot of other benefits to compensate for this. However, in defense of employers it is getting harder and harder to hold down these costs. They must pass them on. Again, at $150/week you are most likely paying about 50% of the premium.

liberals again adding to the debt

[Allen]

My family has always had health care provided through our employers at a monthly cost. Everyone needs health care - preventive health care is less expensive than paying the high cost of medical care after the fact.

and what have conservatives been adding all these years? Let's see... two neverending wars, loss of esteem to the global community, a budget that was so out of whack, we'll never see the light of day and an economy that has basically gone tits up. Gee, that's real conservatism right there.

Maybe you so-called conservatives should just come right out and admit you're all bigots and can't stand that the electorate (that's everyone else but you) chose a black man to be president of the united states.
