This health care reform will ruin our country What do you think?

What do I think? I don't have the precise numbers that you have, but basically it sounds like what's going to happen is that they'll mimic the same policy that has been enforced in Massachusetts for the past few years. Which essentially states that everybody who is a resident of Massachusetts MUST purchase insurance plans from private insurance companies. If they don't, they get fined (much like somebody who is late / delinquent in paying their income taxes). If people could afford health insurance in the first place, wouldn't it make sense that they would have already purchased it?

If that doesn't smack of fascism, what does? Why the *bleep* is everybody so up-in-arms about socialism? Our school systems are socialized--do they have a problem with that, too? A previous poster responded by rambling something to the effect of "look at Canada--their health care system is nearly bankrupt." Wha???

If you watched the senate hearings, you probably noticed that Pulosi's (sp?) promise of putting the Single Payer Health Care Proposal on the table never even happened. And Obama's "Affordable health Care" slogan is dubious, to say the least. AFFORDABLE to who? The people who make $250,000 per year? That catch phrase is just as flimsy as "Hope For Change". Ugh...there's absolutely no hope for our government OR our people. Corrupt, ignorant, arrogant...the list goes on & on. I give up.

All people are thinking about is the fact that they're going to be able to go to the doctor. They're not taking into consideration the cost of anything. All of the doctors that families know and love are going to go out of business. Yes people will be seen, but when. People in need of dire care are going to end up waiting in the emergency room for hours. There are going to be no rooms. This reform bill is horse****

Obama campaigbed on the subject for 2 years. All responsible folks acknowledge reform is needed. I'm with the majority that voted for the reform offered by Obama in the Nov. Polls.

Oy yea, your numbers are whack - you lie.

As all the insurance coverage will be provided by insurance companies - any/all fraud will come from the insurance companies - for all the DA.

Yes! The gov't says you Need to buy healthcare and will fine you but they refuse to put a price on it. Look at Canada, their healthcare is about bankrupt!

It's an opportunity for more government fraud and waste, which we cannot afford, it will only harm us not do any good.
