stupid question about this new health care reform?

The cuts in medicare are about cutting out the fraud/waste that is perpetuated by doctors, hospitals and medical supply and device providers and not about cutting care to seniors. Its about taking the unethical profit out of the health care equation......What is taking place now is the same thing that took place when the government was trying to initiate social security and the original medicare system: Conservatives are screaming socialism and government take over while the corporations that profit from the current system are perpetuating lies stacked on top of lies to try and stop it from taking place. After health care reform is put in to place seniors will love it as it will save them both time and money.

SOCIALISM, this is something that our founding fathers said would never be found in our country. Anyone who wants socialism in this country, is in my eyes a traitor. If they hate the way America is and always has been run, then they are free to leave at any time. They can go take advantage of another countries resources, and economy. Rob from Peter and pay to Paul is exactly it. And those who don't buy into the health care reform will receive substantial penalties. If you watch a certain interview they completely dance around what happens if a person refuses the health care, they simply say they will receive penalties....doesn't even scratch the surface.

I suppose it should be explained more openly to the public instead of left to either the extremist views of the right or left. The point is to not leave those that can't afford it without health care not to take away coverage from anyone. Isn't that a given?

Go ahead twist it however flips your skirt.

John McCain ran saying he would cut Medicare by $1.3 trillion. Why does the GOP now suddenly care about Medicare funding staying intact?

You should listen to entire sentences.

The bill is cutting Medicare FRAUD. The AARP and the AMA have endorsed it. The AMA because it won't limit the amount available for care and the AARP because not one benefit of medicare will be cut.

I can help

You see many are not getting health care as they can't afford to pay for it So all would be covered hopefully by the government Now it well not be too expensive as we well be cutting out waste there bey saving money for the government that pays out money for health care that people are not getting

Government like every other business these days has to be a lean, mean fighting machine.

The good days are all gone. It's time to move on.

I challenge the lovers of this plan to show us ANY government agency that has EVER cut this kind of money EVER..... We are waiting.... psst... NEVER HAS HAPPENED... I don't believe them...

The cuts WILL come out of Medicare services.

The American people will not allow that to happen. There will be riots and revolutions in Washington. People will want to protect their mothers, fathers, aunts, uncles and themselves from future abuse. This healthcare bill is so rediculous it cannot possibly survive.
