We asked about the debate over health care reform.
Something needs to be done. My daughter and I had 2 surgeries and I'm in debt for thousands and I had insurance. Now I just had to go to the hospital for 5 days. I'm in so much debt now because of our lousy health care system. WE NEED IT CHANGED NOW. -- Chuck
I am profoundly opposed to any government health care plan for many moral reasons but primarily because our government has a long history of not being able to manage anything in a cost efficient way. -- Mark
No socialized, government-run healthcare! This will ruin the country and jeopardize everyone’s health. It doesn't work in Canada, so why does Obama think it'll work here? And who's going to foot the bill? Easy, the hard-working taxpayers will! I have absolutely no trust in the government running healthcare and it's only the beginning of Obama's master plan to create big government and welfare (nanny) state with massive give-aways and entitlement programs. I’ve read some of the bill and it’s chocked full of rules that’ll push everyone into government-run healthcare. Enough is enough! -- Greg
It's too bad that some citizens have to use shouting and intimidation to hijack public forums. San Diego was prepared and kept it civil, but some of the comments, i.e., "I don't want government run health care," reveal how uninformed some people are. MEDICARE is a government funded program and no one wants that taken away. It would behoove all citizens to read the facts and allow all citizens to participate in the public forums rather then screaming lies. -- Anita
we are americans we pay taxes who are young and old. Us americans deserve health care insurance from the goverments programs.People need help these days from big brother so we need health for everyone. -- Douglas
I understand that health care is a unique commodity that can't be left entirely to free market forces, but I don't understand the rush. I keep hearing that we need reform "right now", rather than "we need the reform that's right." Perhaps if all sides really worked long and hard on this issue rather than rushing something through, it would be supported by both sides of the aisle. Who knows --- the members of congress might even be willing to subscribe to the plan! Until they're willing to get on board and put their own health care into the "public option" why should we be expected to do so? -- Kristine
I watched the in Penn I watched the whole I guess you call it a debte but there was only one small instdent inside and I would not call it very physical I think you should report the news as it really is there is alot of entertainment with out you making somthing out to more than it is -- August
