Will Obama’s Big Health Care Push Work?

I am against the health care push by President Obama. It is a move against the people, not by the people, and not for the better good of The People. I do not want our country to embrace socialism. We are on a slippery slope to a one world order. God help us!

I think they should go forward & get health care reform. I think it’s time to quit playing politics & put we Americans ahead of getting re-elected by using fear about our budget. I think Obama is willing to do that. We have billions to send other countries to take care of their people & it’s time we take care of our own.

About the only thing that we can NOT do is to do nothing. Every good executive knows that it is necessary to make decisions. If they are good ones — great. If they are bad ones, correct them as quickly as possible.
Our health care system is broken for those that have it — and not available for way too many. We need to start the process of fixing it. If some of the specifics of this plan don’t work well — fix them as that is known.

I do not want this to pass!!! We are in a world of hurt if it does…this is not for the people…it’s HIS agenda…he wants to make history and the people are talking, but he’s not listening!!!

It’s sad that Americans think the US could actually go full blown socialist. Our system, though not entirely stable, is one of the best in the world and everyone knows it both abroad and here at home. So don’t worry, no one in the government wants to stop capitalism. The health-care program is a supplement to our current lifestyle, not a step towards an absolute override of our way of life. Get real!!!

It’s disappointing that the President has decided to disregard the American people. I’m so sick of politicians living outside the reality of the voters that I could puke. When will it end?

I’ve recently once again had the opportunity to observe our government at work “up close and personal” as an independent contractor. The amount of waste and inefficiency takes my breath away. The paperwork alone is astonishing. To think of the government “managing” healthcare scares me to death. The bureaucratic redtape and costs will be astronomical. Anyone who thinks this will produce a cost savings to anyone is dreaming–big time dreaming.
As for the tactic President Obama is planning to employ to get his way, I say if you really want an “up and down vote” why don’t you ask the general American public for their vote rather than representatives who are strong armed to vote along party lines? Oh, and lets also tell them how much their healthcare would REALLY cost if the government runs it.

america, wake up. you voted for change, but are afraid of it. p-obama;s health plan will work and we will all be better off because of it.as for themoney,every time we go to war or help some country, we have the money,so why can’t we for once have the money to pay for us-the united states of america.let’s fix us for once and dam the cost-amen.

What a charade, weren’t the lab coats just the ticket to convince us this monstrous bill is just what we need?
Let’s do a fact check, wasn’t the bill supposed to control healthcare costs and cut the deficit/debt? However, the CBO expects my premiums to increase should the bill become law. the CBO also predicts the bill to cost more than the status-quo over the next decade.
In the face of a national debt swiftly approaching the ceiling of $14.3 trillion (the second ceiling in the past few months) and a well kept secret that the government’s unfunded liabilities are actually some $60 to $70 trillion shouldn’t someone be developing a crisis plan to resolve these issues?
Isn’t Obamacare a moot point if the nation crashes and the dollars of the 60% that is financing the nanny state are bust?
Obama is rather arrogant to push his agenda as the ship sinks!
My message to my representative was:
In his arrogance the president seems to think the congress works for him instead of the respective constituencies.
The massive Obamacare package is worthy of nothing but the trash at this point. the CBO has stated that my insurance premiums are likely to go up if it is enacted. The CBO also indicates that the bill would cost more than the status quo over the next decade instead of saving money.
The only right thing to do is to vote against the bill, and against Obama’s arrogance!

I pray President Obama’s push for Health care goes forward! For those who oppose it…WARNING… PLEASE do not get sick anytime soon if you do not have good Health Care! Evidently people on this post are the picture of Health…Let’s pray you all stay that way! I hope you all listened to the Presidents speech as well before posting anything! As for myself, I have what President Obama is pushing for. I pray you all good health in the future!

Regardless of what happens, I believe this country does have the best healthcare in the world – and whatever mistakes we make along the way, I know America will find a way to adapt and overcome. I would still never want to live anywhere else in the world.
God Bless America.

I think it is time to get on with the reform. Medicare has been working out the bugs for years now, starting over will take years to get where Medicare is now. Cutting back a little on senior’s coverage will give us more money to cover the children and young adults who have a huge job ahead of them to support the large upcoming senior population. Insurances need to be policed as execs are making mega bucks and where did all the money come from so they could lobby like they are doing? Possibly premiums?

Just the profits that the health insurance companies make are enough to fund Medicare Part “E” (for EVERYONE) and Full Drug, Full Dental and Full Eye care. Part “E” would give care to all 40 million currently going without now easily. As in the rest of the civilized world profiting from healthcare must be made a crime here in America. If not Part “E” the only other choose is “private nonprofit only”, which will be abused by the corporations incharge. Medicare works use it please.

Yes, I am for the health care bill passing. Obama has more than tried to get all to participate in the plan. We must reform health care and now is the time.

Obamacare will likely end up as the biggest train robbery of the American public. Its front loaded for the first 5 years of paying for it with no benefits until after the first 5 years, so in the 6th year when it starts its cost is double what he’s saying..
The promise to insure 30 to 40 million Americans currently uninsured for less than the current cost is a huge lie. Health care standards are going to go way down if this albatross goes into law. The USPS, DMV, IRS, Medicare, Fannie Mae etc..(there all bankrupt) there isn’t any government operation that works efficiently, and now they want to take over 25% of our economy with this. HMO’s were started in the Clinton years & they’ve been a disaster. Obama is killing off the private sector and borrowing from china to subsidize the public sector. He destroying the middle class and burying the USA. Beware of any politician selling this kind of panacea.
Funny that the Senate, Congress, and the president exempted themselves from this plan. I guess it good for the sheep but not for them.
.

Americans want cheaper health care! We do not want more of the same we REQUIRE a real solution. USA pays almost DOUBLE what Canadians do for health care. Canada simply removed the private health insurance for profit insurance companies from the health care system and cut the costs of health care by almost one half.
So why would that work you ask? Why have private for profit health insurance have become the merchants of misery in our health care system?
I think the reason is so simple we tend to overlook it. In order to become Doctors, Doctors take an oath to do good for their patients and not to harm anyone. Essentially Doctors promise not to enrich their pocketbook at the expense of our health. That is not to say Doctors always live up to that oath but private for profit insurance companies never took that oath and in fact do exactly the opposite. Health insurance companies spend huge amounts of money doing what we do not want them to do. Insurance companies have no business being in the business of deciding our health care system, our health policy, and deciding who gets what medical service and who doesn’t! They are NOT serving our best interests, they are serving theirs!

I am so sick of hearing all these lies about Obama and the health care plan. It’s all about stopping the insurance companies from dictating what doctors we can see, how much care we can get, and how we should die. I haven’t been able to get health-care insurance at all for about 6 years and I’m 55. Without reform, I will simply have to shut up and die as soon as nature decides, because I will not have access to this great health care system that you are so fond of. I have a pre-existing condition. That means the insurance companies get to tell me that I am not worth saving.
You all are ignoring the pain and suffering of people around you. It’s all “me, me, me.” I don’t want freebies, but I would like a chance to get health care that I can afford. That’s all Obama is doing. It’s not Socialism. It’s just fairness.

I sure hope the Dem plan fails. I agree we need some sort of reform, but this bill is not it. Look at delivery costs – until those are lowered, insurance cannot be lowered. It will cost individuals more – Obama stated because it will offer you more. Can you imagine what your car insurance would cost if it included “preventative maintenance” and other maintenance costs. Lower delivery – drug costs; hospital costs ($140 for a tylenol??); medical device costs; malpractice insurance costs. Use creativity to encourage more Community Health Centers. Move more slowly – once we are hit with unintended consequences of this bill, it will be too late to turn back.

Do Americans want healthcare reform, that would make access easier, eliminate waste, REIGN IN MALPRACTICE VIA TORT REFORM, reduce costs and increase choices? YES
Do they want want Obama is pushing, that addresses none of the above in any significant manner? HECK NO!!!
People are smarter….much smarter than Obama believes. Very few are buying his lies

Shred your Supermarket Club Cards and pay cash for any food that Uncle Sam might consider unhealthy, lest your premiums get a massive hike.
Forced health insurance is unconstitutional. Furthermore, forcing us to buy a product from a PRIVATE company is insane. What’s next, mandatory health club membership? Will gym membership costs skyrocket as a result? I can exercise without paying money, thank you very much! I put money in a savings account instead of buying insurance, and pay cash for QUALITY healthcare outside of the USA for pennies on the dollar if I get sick.
The current health care bills are nothing more than a preemptive bailout of a broken, failed health care industry.

My neighbors have taken expensive trips twice a yr. for 4 years. Disney, South America etc… They throw parties for hundreds of guests, yet they say they cannot afford health insurance. They own two dump trucks and a tax business. We don’t need reform. We need a revolt against giving our tax dollars to pay for do nothings.

1. The American people inaugurate a half-Arab president with a total of 142 days experience as a US Senator from the most politically corrupt state (city) in America whose governors have been ousted from office.He won’t show America his birth certificate.
The President’s first official act is to order the close of Gitmo and make sure terrorists civil rights are not violated.
(honest mistake?)
2. The U.S. Congress rushes to confirm a black Attorney General, Eric Holder, whose law firm we later find out represents seventeen Gitmo Terrorists.
(An honest mistake?!)
3. The CIA Boss appointee, Leon Panetta, has absolutely no experience, has a daughter Linda, we find out, who is a true radical anti-American activist and a supporter of all the Anti-American regimes in the western hemisphere. (There were socio-economic factors involved!)
4. We got the second most corrupt American woman (Pelosi is #1) as Secretary of State; bought and paid for. (You can put lipstick on a pig, but it still stinks!)
5. We got a Tax Cheat for Treasury Secretary who did not properly file his own taxes for 12 years.
(He misspoke!)
6. A Commerce Secretary nominee who withdrew due to corruption charges.
(Another honest mistake???)
7. A Tax cheat nominee for Chief Performance Officer who withdrew under charges.
(Hmmm… another screw-up?)
8. A Labor Secretary nominee who withdrew under charges of unethical conduct.
(Ok, maybe this person was just plain stupid.)
9. A Secretary HHS nominee (Daschle) who withdrew under charges of cheating on his taxes.
(I’m running out of excuses for these idiots!!)
10. Multiple appointments of former lobbyists after an absolute campaign statement that no lobbyists would be appointed.
(Dear God, I am getting a headache!)
All this occurred just during the first three weeks. . . but who’s counting?
America is being run by the modern-day Three Stooges ; Barry, Nancy and Harry and they are still trying to define stimulus…”it’s spending!!!”
The congress passes the $800,000,000,000 (that’s $800 billion) pork-loaded spending bill where the government gives you a smidgen of your tax dollars ($13 per week), making you feel so good about yourself [stimulated], that you want to run out to Wal-Mart and buy a new Chinese-made HDTV and go home and watch Telemundo!
Here’s the good news though – Obama took Air Force One to Denver to sign the stimulus package, wasting as much as 10,000 gallons of fuel OR 24 JOBS FOR ONE YEAR.
Don’t you just love hypocrites?
Obama went to the International Olympic Committee to have them choose Chicago for a host city, he failed.
Obama went to Copenhagen to lecture them on global warming, he failed.
Obama went to new Jersey to promote the Democratic candidate for governor, he failed,
Obama went to Virginia to promote the Democratic candidate for governor, he failed.
Obama went to Massachusetts to promote the Democratic candidate for senator, he failed.
Speaking of praying, Obama has now been president for a full year and yet he & wife (first lady) Michelle,the Christian family they claim to be, have not attended church since the inauguration.
Obama is the 1st president in history who did not attend any Christmas religious observance.
He was the first president to miss the Army & Navy Football game.
He must miss Reverend Wright!
And finally, he is the 1st president to remain on vacation after a terrorist attack.
In these times ‘I’ll keep my God, my freedom, my gun and my money.
Anyone that supports this insanity can keep
“THE CHANGE”.

As an independent I am always concerned about the governments tendency towards big spending without any plans to repay the debt. Name one program they have been involved in that is not in the red?! Many will say medicare is working, but at what price?! How can you say something is working when it never pays for itself. Also I believe it will not be 1 trillion but will ultimately be 3-4 trillion. The government is always over budget! I want healthcare reform but not with the government playing an active role as a provider for the nation. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely!!

against obamas healtcare, and yes i am a democrat,but a common senses one, who says we cannot afford any more govt programs its very clear they cannot handle the ones they have, social security, medicare,even the post office is going under, they cannot even keep themselves on budget..much less give them any control over our healthcare will lead to disaster.. just like all these other govt program, wake up america!!!!!!!!!!!

i want this bill to pass asap! get the ball rolling on this. the reason republicans want to scrap this bill and start from scratch is so they can vote against it at every commitee,if this doent get passed we will not see this topic brought up for decades! obama has done plenty for his first year, health care BIG issue,stimulous package,which would have been WAY worse if not passed,
jobs bills, give the guy credit i mean he is trying to fix 9 years of rRepublican RUN damage…

Pres. Obama is a lawyer and he is much smarter than we americans who knows what is best for our wellbeing. I just hope the blue dog democrats stick to their guns and votes against this bill that 60% + americans do not want.
