The US of A has gone absolutely bonkers over healthcare. Man! What is the deal? People are totally up in arms over it! Is it because healthcare is a highly personal, important issue in people’s lives? I can relate to that. I mean, my insurance coverage is just AWFUL, absolutely, 100% rotten. I pay so much money to get basic services done, and I hate it. BUT! You still don’t hear me calling anyone a Nazi, or ranting like a lunatic at a town hall meeting. There’s not reason we should resort to these shouting matches, people. Especially when it’s really, really, really hard for us all to know the true facts behind Obama’s proposed healthcare reform legislation. There are so many rumors going around, and really we all just have hearsay to rely on because who the heck has time to read the grillion page mainfesto that is the proposed legislation? Honestly, right now there is just a ton of misinformation and name-calling and threats going around, and in the midst of it many of us in this country have really lousy healthcare. AND our country spends entirely too much money on the curret crappy system. So, the bottom line is that SOMETHING has to be done. Can’t we all agree on that one, for a sec? THEN, let’s take a look at the facts of what is really on the table here, and THEN we can start to figure out what should be done and what shouldn’t. Becausee no matter what, we SHOULDN’T be calling each other nazis, especially when we’re as ill-informed as we are about this proposed legislation.

I live in Austria, a “single payer” country like most of Europe. My father was in the US Army and we went to military hospitals when we were sick. There was never a question about medical bills and our family was generally healthy and well-cared for. After his retirement the govt. started reducing his coverage and the avaiability of health care to retirees whom they had promised life-long care in reward for their service. 10 years later, he was forced to join a HMO. The insurance co. had won!

just keep clean, drink pure water, eat lots of clean organic fruits and vegetables and EXERCISE and you will be physically fit and have no need for anyhealth care unless you are injured in a car accident or something stupid like falling down the stairs. it isn’t natural to wind up with heart problems, high blood pressure, dimminng vision, obesity. these can be cleared up thru clean living and EXERCISE.

I live in England where we have a “free” health care system in the NHS. We also have Private if you can afford it. Private, as I’ve recently found out, is like a 5 star hotel compared to the NHS 3 star.Everyone pays a separate tax contribution for the NHS, regardless if you have Private cover.There are all sorts of arguements for and against our system but the bottom line is, to call ourselves a moral society we must care for each and every one of us, and that starts with our health.

Create a socialism based system that will help all Americans while eliminating entitlements for the weathy. Our capitalist system is wrong in its current erected status. Why, as a country of people have we allowed more value to profit for the small majority, while the majority are increasingly going without basic needs such as healthcare. This issue is too complex to solve easily. However, one thing is clear…. GREED needs to be eliminated in this country.

Thank You for another great summary…. I think you are exactly right! If two, educated, opposing sides interpret any legislation in two very different ways… there is a serious problem and you are right…. it lends itself to confusion. Having said that… the only thing worse than “no legislation” is “bad legislation.” It is very difficult to change it once it’s past. No matter which side of the fence you are on, we all would be better served by not rushing and getting a bill that is specific

Healthcare is a matter of LIFE and DEATH for someone who get really sick and since LIFE is supposed to be an UNALIENABLE RIGHT and not something you pay for so should healthcare be for those who cannot afford it.

It’s only bad when conservatives run it. I’d call that “self-fulfilling prophecy,” but it’s much more deliberate, and cynical than that (the ‘W’ years prove me out).

How one goes about accomplishing the removal of barriers to mkt entry and changes in the tax code, i do not know.

So if you make $20000 you should pay no more than 15% of your yearly gross salary, thats 3000 a year or 250 a month. If you make 100000 then you should pay 10% for healthcare which is 10000 a year or 833.33 a month. it should be capped at 10000 a year. Thats somethngall americans can afford and depend on.
