Healthcare a grave threat yet I get to keep my insurance?

If healthcare is the greatest threat to our country (according to Obama) then how come I supposedly get to keep my insurance? It doesn't make sense.

    except for the house plan to view, we don't know what Obama's plan is and Obama said he has not read the house bill, so I guess he thinks we are suppose to just trust him to do the right thing, I'm not that trusting of people, especially of a politician

    if health care is a right, then give me a health care Bill of Rights so I will know where I stand, before you make health care reform a law***********

    Your insurance company would last five, maybe ten years in competition with subsidized government programs. Obama has stated in his own words that single payer would eliminate private competition within 20 years.

    Your medicare would suffer also, because the Left wants to transfer care from the old to the young. finally, at the end of your life, you will go before a death panel, which will decide if you have been a good Lefty all of your life. Do you think you will pass?

    Why is nobody talking about the BUSH DEATH PANELS that exsist now in health ins. companies?

    My wife was recently discharged from the hospital because Blue Cross's DEATH PANEL decided that her care was costing too much, and sent her to a human warehouse of DEATH ! It was a 'interim' housing that terminally ill people that just have ins, not CASH, are sent to DIE ! The place smelled of urine, worse that a horse barn ! There was NO ONE of any authority on duty for the whole weekend. She was given a bed w/no side rails to keep her from falling out. When she complained, she was told that no one could access the equipment room until Monday. I only found out she was being moved because she called me in tears when she suddenly found herself there. I had just seen her on Friday AM, and after I left, she took a nap. She was woken up, and TOLD that they were sending her out of the hospital to go DIE ! It was so traumatic for her ! I called her daughter who lives closer to rescue her mom. Why should they make her suffer because the ins. decided that it was costing too much for her to have nursing care as she dies? Do you have any idea what it means to slowly waste away and die a painful ,messy death from cancer?

    If you think I'm a troll, e-mail me for ALL the gory details of our 3 year nightmare of corporate ins. !
