Health Care Debate - Sugar Land, TX

Of course I support it.
Insurance companies refuse to lower their costs after all these years. If the bill doesn't pass, what makes you think they are going to lower it, probably spike up.

[Chandler]

I support it and promote it, but only for citizens of this country, legal citizens who have a stake in this country. I do not want to pay for illegals whether from any country, not just Mexico. We Americans are too generous to people and easy targets for leeching off us. We've got to stand up and take care of this country first and foremost. Each country can take care of its own, while we take care of our own. We are not onenaiton under God, nor are we indivisible. We are as divided as we can get, and disorganized as they can keep us. Congress has screwed us one too many times before (Wilson included.) Insurance companies have treated us all as we sat back and took it on the chin and up the a--, and couldn't do anything about our own situation. Let's hope Obama is victorious, and thishesalthcare plan is put in place for We the People...,legal citizens of this nation. Screw the insurance companies and lets let them know, they've cancelled the last person for the last time. it is our time for all of us to deny them for failing to inform us about their severe case of dishonestitis.

You restore my faith in humanity. Thank you for your words of wisdom.

The illiterate, willfully-ignorant haters, who seem to spend their lives spreading malicious lies, are more dangerous to our great nation that Osama bin Ladin is.

It is so easy to verify, or to disprove, stories before repeating them. Politifact.com even won a Pulitzer for excellence as a fact-checking web site. FactCheck.org is also helpful.

Why those dedicated to destroying our duly-elected president think they are helping America by trying to turn us against each other is a mystery.

Whatever happened to "love your neighbor as yourself," "be kind to one another," "treat others as you want to be treated"? Whatever happened to discourse about our loving God?

You won't hear it from Wiley Drake.

This former vice president of the Southern Baptist Convention told Fox News that he prays daily for President Obama to die.

But don't worry. Drake has an explanation. He says that is not Wiley Drake wanting the president to die. Drake says that is God talking through Wiley Drake.

This is just a guess, but I suspect Drake is also not in favor of making health care available for all America's children, either.

[truth is]

It makes a lot more sense than continuing with a seriously-broken ineffective and expensive system.

[Chandler]

Thank you Watching! I appreciate your comment. Whether we like each other or not, We the People...have got to awaken and defend ourselves from those We elect. And to think, if we all knew how to use our Constiution, and we all would come together for pour own good, we could easily dissolve the federal government as it is today, and start over. But wnayway, thank you.

You speak with forked tongue, just like the President. You start off with name calling and then bring verses from the Bible to ask why we came agree on this health care plan??? You better call your prez and tell HIM to STOP the LIES! You actually believe this plan will not cost a dime?? BULLSHIT!! THe house defeated every attempt by the Rep. to check people to see if they are legal citizens if they were treated and paid for under this plan. You better watch you democrat buddies, they word things so YOU misunderstand. Here's another one...if you have a plan through your company and you want to keep it, you can. No you cant. THey will drop you like a hot coal, because they cannot compete with the public option. We've allready been told that's what would happen at the company I work for. IF you work, you better be checking your facts carefully, cause YOU are going to be the one to pay for this plan and it's not gonna be cheap. Just keep watching and you will see right through the intent of the Libs. More votes for them is what they are after. I wouldnt worry about Osama bin Laden, I'd be more worried about the leaders of this country.

Maybe you should ask your Government to reine in the fed reserve and tell it to stop printing money. Then maybe we could afford stuff

Hey, bubba - thank goodness MY tax money won't be used to pay for YOUR medical expenses. The top 1% of taxpayers in the U.S. pay more taxes than the bottom 95% pay.

Your ignorance makes it obvious you are certainly not in the top 1%. I'm betting you pay very little, if any, taxes.

The United States is the biggest spender on health care by far. We're getting fair-to-middling performance from a system that leaves millions without coverage. Why are we paying so much more than everyone else?Providers make more money here. Doctors out of med school in other countreis OWE nothing! Malpatrice insurance in Europe runs app.$1,400.00 per year and they are hardly ever sued.We pay almost three times more for RX's here. But even with all that that adds up to 1% of our total health care cost according to economists. The reason it is so much higher here is that the U.S. does two things different here from any other country. 1. the way we manage health insurance and 2. the complexity of our health care syste. We are the only country that relies on profit-making health insurance companies to pay for care.When insurance companies pay Doctors's , hospital etc. they call that a loss! They cannot eat to deep into administrative costs and profits. App. 20 cent of every dollar paid on premiums doesn't really buy you any health care. Americans think the "private sector" can manage better than govt. and they can to make CEO's and investors profits. They pick and choose their clients, deny claims etc. In France and Germany IF you lose your job the govt. pays your insurance. When you are most vunerable here you lose your covergae. And we pride ourselves on being SO christian? The moral of any society is how they treat the least among them. Another problem is the sheer complexity of our health care system and it very very fragmented. It is all full of loop holes. Theirs a different system for everybody.

Thank you. What a joy it is to see a voice of reason amongst the hateful lies being circulated.

Truth is, insurance companies skim about 40% off the top for "administrative costs," compared to the 9% it costs to administer Medicare. No wonder that we pay the most but are way down the list in the quality of health care we receive (those of us who are not millionaires, that is).

The government take over of our health care will lead to rationing and WILL be given to people who have entered our country illegally. This is Socialism pure and simple and Socialism has never worked anywhere it has been tried.It leads to a drastic decline in standard of living for all citizens forced to live under it.

The money we spent sending you to public school was obviously wasted. Why should we spend more of our money trying to keep you healthy?

[Chasba]

Too expensive, loss of overall coverage for current Medicare insured, probable loss of coverage for current employees of affected companys. Adds exorbitant amount to the national debt (hense our great-great grandchildren)!

[Malcolm E Thornton]

1. Can achieve objectives by much simpler and less costly means. 2. Government has never provided any service well. 3. I beleive we would wind up with a system like Canada's where if people want something done they have the "option" of waiting around until their system provides it, or going to the US to obtain timely treatment, ie, treatment delayed is treatment denied.
