We owe $35 TRILLION to SS and medicare already, so if we tack on Health care, this country is ruined in 30 years because the idiots in Washington don't know how to run this place. Today's government should be run by CEOs and those that understand how to run a business. Here is a fact: if we don't double taxes right now and cut spending to zero in our government, then we can pay off the $35 trillion in debt we have to it's own people. Adding health care and increasing taxes 50% will just delay the death of this country from within... and this 26 year old is terrified of our future. Health care comes at great cost.

Socialized medicine is not going to work. It will lower the quality of care and the incentive for new treatments. We should be promoting self-reliance and charity in our local communities. That is the only way to solve the problem. Giving more power and authority to a central government will only enslave you and your children to it. Have we not learned over the past 100 years that socialism does not work? Do you want to live in Russia or China? Then go and take Hillary and Obama with you. I'm voting for Ron Paul.

From someone who has no clue what it means to live from paycheck to paycheck and choose between food and heat. Let families be in charge of their health care? What does that mean? How would that work? How exactly is a family who has both parents working and still can't afford to buy food going to "be in charge" of their health care? Even if they get a $2000 a year tax credit, that still is not enough to pay for even 6 months of health care. It's easy to say, well, get a job that provides health care, but then who do you think is going to sell you all the stuff you buy? Who is going to clean your house or dispose of your trash? A lot of people with those jobs don't get health care with their jobs because it's so expensive to provide health care for your employees. Do you have any idea how many people there are doing that kind of work? Providing services for all of you who make enough money to live on and have $60 health care paid for by your employer? Reading these posts it is very easy to see the economic divide between people who can afford to take health care for granted and those who cannot. It's like you are speaking different languages.

The problem is not yours alone , to be honest there should never be a Republican Prezz. History shows us that threw Reagan and his horrible policy's , Bush 1 and 2's horrible policy's that Republicans are very BAD for the US Economy . The proof is there , although hardcore Repubs will say its the Dems fault , we no better. Its always easy to blame someone else for your mess ups but in reality we no the truth .

Although it may have a liberal bias, it will never let you look at health care in America the same way again. People can label government welfare programs as socialist or even communist all they want but the fact of the matter is it's a lot easier getting the care you need in France or in Canada for example than it is here. Private insurers are corrupt, exclusive and misleading. Their purpose is to make big money and if they can get out of helping someone if it's going the cost them lots of money, they will. What's the point in funding a government that does little for its people? Right now most of our tax dollars go into paying for war and an endless supply of weapons that may or may not protect us in the long run... as oppose to education and science, etc...

The government can't do anything right so why do we want to entrust them with our healthcare??? Privatisation is best because a motive for profit ensures that costs are kept down and efficiency is higher. With a government program no one cares about efficiency and instead looks to hand big government contracts to their friends at the cost of the tax payers. The liberals are all for national healthcare because it is another handout from the government that people think they are entitled to because they will just tax the rich. I agree with Bob.
