GOP-Please do what is best for the American people and stop trying to protect the "rights" of health care insurance executives to exploit our need for health care insurance to make themselves filthy rich.

The public option is the only thing that is going to motivate private insurance companies to lower their costs. Yes, your filthy rich financial contributors are going to have to take cuts in their executive compensation packages, but you will be doing what is best for the American people by supporting the public option.

I have a great health policy, paid for by me and my company. I would gladly give it up mfor a single payer system. Doesn't matter if taxes go up to pay for it. Between me and my company, we are paying 11-12k per year any way. As lonk as everybody pays, then everybody gets covered.

I am willing to pay more taxes for health care insurance for everyone. I make 60K I would be willing to pay 1 or 2% more in taxes so everyone, including myself should I become unemployed and lose my employer insurance, would have health insurance coverage. Everyone should have access to health insurance, with a no pre-existing clause and if the poor cannot afford to pay the premiums then use the taxes to subsidize them to pay for a public insurance plan. The cost of which could be kept down by clinics that are staffed by nurses and a physician's assistant or doctor that comes in a couple of days a week. The payment amount should be added to the welfare assistance amount but go directly to the insurer, NOT the individual(s) via the welfare payment system.

Also, the House plan does not include illegal aliens, but they will still go to the emergency room for health care and we will still pay for it in higher rates for all us, although the cost for 12 million would be less than 47 million.

While congress debates health care, I'm getting IOU's from the State of California. I think Congress should get IOU's and so should the Terminator and all those other jerks in Sacramento. Then you would see how fast these issues would be resolved. Take away health care from Congress and see how quickly they figure out a plan of action. This country is top heavy with narcissistic politicians, not leaders.

We need some kind of health care reform but not gov. controlled. When will people wake up and realize this country is broke and broke now not later. We can't afford anything that costs more gov or should I say tax payer money right now. The money is not there people and with the dollar already loosing it's value to all this spending we are on a freight train headed for runaway inflation; sooner not later.

If the senators of this country can't get together and agree on health care for the people who pay their salary then I suggest we vote them out. Term limits for senators...just like prez...two terms and your done!!!! Get it done!!!!!!!!!!!!

“A public option is a slippery slope to a single-payer system like in Canada or England,” Gregg said.

Why don't you Repubicans what us to have a Pubic Opition when you all in Congress have one that is very good one be cause I am one of those employees with one of the best Health Plan becasue I have a govenment job. They to their and they don't want the American people to have what they have becasue most old white man our to damm selfish. GOP IS A RICH PARTY AND COULD CARE LESS ABOUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVING HEALTH CARE FOR EVERYONE.

PULIC OPTION ARE NOT PLAN AT ALL. WHY DO REPUBICANS HATE AMERICAN AND THE POOR?

Solution? Don't let them go on vacation (any of them) until they reach a majority with a viable solution.

NEXT

Let the irresponsible Republican tax cuts for the wealthy (in the middle of a war nonetheless) expire as scheduled next year and use the funds towards the public option supported by the majority of Americans.

The Republican status quo is simply unacceptable, while too many Americans are struggling and need affordable coverage provided by the public option.

Health Care Reform is crucial for us and our country. But, to eliminate public option will ruin the reform, once again raping the American people.
It would let the insurance companies remain in control and we all know what a diaster that has been.
Our health care is the costliest in the world, yet ranks 30th in care and performance. Thousands upon thousands have to file for bankruptcy due to medical costs. We don't even want to know how many people die because they cannot afford medical attention.
Americans, we can no longer tolerate or allow big business, lobbyists, special interests run our country and make crucial decisions for us.
We must demand a true health care reform, that we take priority in making decisions and do not allow our politicians give priority to campaign contributions and big business.
