That Company still has the right to refuse you care if had something terminal if they see if. Even if they did help they wouldn’t help with all of your medical bill.. With the passing of the bill they have to pay out they have to help you. It is illegal to not do so.
People with medicare can pay over $3000, because medicare is not enough; uninsured amounts, Rx co-pays, hearing aids and dental are too high to depend on medicare.
Wg hope never.
I don’t want to pay for YOUR health care or anyone elses.
Malpractice insurance fees and multi-million dollar law suites…and ridiculous costs of meds. We need to reign in the big buck settlements, Lawyer Fees and prevent pharmacy companies from raping the public and charging 15.00 or more for a measley pill that only costs 47 cents to manufacture! We desperately need Tort Reform. Socialistic medicine is not the answer and will cost enough to bankrupt us all.
Will it drag on for years or will it happen in the new year?
GOD’S PROMISE TO NOAH AFTER THE FLOOD. Bible – Genesis 8:22 “While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.” CLIMATE CHANGE THREAT PRIORITY – IS A HOAX !!!!!!!!
The funniest part is, most youtubers don’t even get that this still has to pass the senate. This country…
3. is wrong. I pay 2 grand for my insurance, the new “public option” is 15 grand. learn your facts instead of mimicking what your politicians tell you.
Well I hope you can afford the new $15,000 dollar plan. WAIT THAT’S MORE EXPENSIVE THAN EXISTING INSURANCE! Jeez, if only we’d been warning all you morons the WHOLE FUCKING TIME. SHIT WE WERE.
It is impossible in a free market for 2 or 3 companies to control prices, if the prices are excessive, people switch providers. There will always someone looking to capitalize on a situation where a health insurance provider is charging excessive rates.
It is hard to progress a debate when a side villifies another – the only way to approach an understanding is to assume the other side is sincere about the cause they are representing. Sometimes that is proven untrue.
Them leaving the country would take away competition against every small business in the country. Those small businesses would fill in the gaps and eventually become large business.
1. Debated
2. Anti government for everything? (anti military anti fire department)
3. We pay more on health care without the bill then with it.
4.Check the recent statistics things are shifting the other direction.
5. Your are a immigrant decedent unless you are pure Native American.
6. Having differing opinions and working them out was how this country was founded.
7. If they are getting voted out in 2010 and if so wouldn’t that mean Republicans would then have all the power?
why was this comment marked as spam
WOW people you don’t have to fight for you death’s
Its free now, well kinda
I agree with you if this were to be a success Republicans would probably feel very uncomfortable, because of the precedent it would send. It would allow for a further degradation of civil liberties – see republicans know that civil liberty isn’t accepted for it’s own intrinsic merit. It’s tolerated because it’s the best system in the world. People like to make the distinction of economic liberty and personal liberty – but they are really two aspects of the same principle.
well now you have a new choice,, get healthcare or go to jail
Now tell me, if this is suppose to be a GREAT thing (aka free health care) why is their $15,000 fine and jail time if you don’t get it?
You Americans will find out why Canadians and Europeans went to America for health care, cause those LONG waits will make you regret, and when they say granny has to die cause we don’t have enough for her, THEN you will understand

“Let them eat cake”.
I would love to buy health care. I can’t afford it. I can’t get job that pays enough, and It wouldn’t cover me anyway. I had Lupus at 19 yrs old and Cancer at 37-one year before I graduated college with a high GPA. I could get Brad Pitt to sleep with me before I could get affordable health care!
ummm
you do know his mother is a white woman from Arkansas right?
……… Look at the polls. The majority of the country was was for health care even if you weren’t they went with the majority. You are the minority. How does it feel?
Honestly, what a stupid post.
The worst thing about this bill is the precedent it sets. This isn’t a valid role of government – it is hard to imagine for those who haven’t considered it what life would be like if our government was constrained by the laws which define it.
I would not be entirely against the idea of socialized insurance if it weren’t for our government’s horrible track record – or its 12 trillion dollar deficit, This is going to end up badly.
Democrats have continued to ignore the American people. Unfortunately, they won’t be able to ignore the fact that their party is going to be history in about a year. Can’t come soon enough.
Jeremiah Wright apparently knew he was talking about the future not the past when he said “the land of the greed and the home of the slave” Welcome back to slavery folks you voted for it – the Rich will leave the country and you will be stuck with it.
