Annual Medicare fraud: $60 Billion; annual profits of top ten insurance companies: $8 billion. Yeah, the private sector is the problem.  Which would we rather see grow larger? 

At least with our employee policies we all pay the same (regardless of income) for equal services.  We all know what to expect and what we will be paying.  It is not based on 111 new beauracracies or the government setting rates the doctors have to accept. 

This post is all over the place, but I am so mad about the healthcare plan!!!!

I saw today people saying that private insurance is the problem.  For myself, we pay more taxes and receive less services.  As the government takes over healthcare, they will take more and more from the 50% who pay income taxes, and we will receive less and less services.   I am sick to death of those that feel they are entitled to live off of the money of others.  It is just disgusting me.

Other things I hear are the wealthy can just go buy private if they don't like the public????  Why in the world would we want to pay the government healthcare tax (which would be more than we currently pay for some of our plans) to get less care, more government, and then pay again to get back to what we had in the first place.

This administration is scary!

Why is it that if I don't live "within my means", there are serious consequences (bankruptcy) for which I am solely responsible, but when the government doesn't live within its means, I am expected to bail it out?

I can't form a coherant statement about healthcare because I'm so ticked too. If I hear one more time " you must have coverage so you don't care about the poor or the sick" I'm going to scream. Fact is we don't have insurance but I'll be damned if I want te equivalent of Medicaid.

If tomorrow's election results go to the GOP, the Blue Dog Democrats support for the H/C bill could be further diluted.      In most cases, Congressional Members seem to care more about their own livelihood, than the opinions of their constituency.     But if the Dems are defeated in tomorrow's big races, and it is read as an angry voting public, the tide could turn in favor of those in favor of a more fiscal responsible h/c reform bill.      Right now, so much of this Administrations' agenda depends on passage of healthcare legislation, I wonder to what lengths it will go, to achieve it's goal?
