Whether that&#39;s the public option or something else, I don&#39;t know, but it&#39;s broken and needs to be fixed.Roberthttp://blog.insweb.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24744976.post-67606027222351289212009-09-13T17:33:15.561-05:002009-09-13T17:33:15.561-05:00We already have a government option, it&#39;s as simple as that. What this all comes down to is how expensive it is to get care even when you do have insurance! What if you hurt yourself and need a helicopter ride to the hospital? You&#39;ll be broke for a very long time just from that trip! We have to bring down expenses for the middle class and working poor so we can afford to take care of ourselves, because even preventative medicine (check-ups etc.) is too expensive! Instead of adding taxes on all the sugary drinks though, how about making healthy stuff like milk and juices cheaper? Many only drink the bad stuff because they can&#39;t afford the good ones.Lynx217http://www.blogger.com/profile/13494800019983587961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24744976.post-22435907273215886932009-09-10T14:22:12.527-05:002009-09-10T14:22:12.527-05:00the government run option is the only one that makes sens we can make everyone healthy by putting a stop to smoking eating fast food and stopping drinking soft drinks there needs to be a law against having a large car with four cylinders or more we have to be more like china and ride bicylcs to work and walk to the store <br />if we have a fat tax then we can change peoples behavior if we have a rich tax we kill peoples desire to open business and make more money we can effectively kill their desire to work and be prodcutvie and the goal is to make everyone we can need goverment asistance put em on welfare and food stamps and give em a government job like picking up trash and campainging for democrats who will change our contry for a better place we have the answers we just need the willLilanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24744976.post-56400089695713553202009-09-10T13:40:53.324-05:002009-09-10T13:40:53.324-05:00I support government regulation of health care. I support the government eliminating fraud, waste, and abuse.<br /><br />However, I do not support a government owned health care system, or any other type of business.<br /><br />Why you ask? Because government has no competition. They have no reason to run lean and profitable. Government has the ability to take away 100% of our income.<br /><br />Give me a single example of when the US government ran anything, ANYTHING better than private enterprise?<br /><br />What? Can&#39;t come up with a single example? Huh??<br /><br />The problem with government is that they THINK they have unlimited resources with OUR money. That isn&#39;t true. The problem is, therefore, they run out of other people&#39;s money, OUR money, that was earned with blood, sweat and tears.<br /><br />I am sick and tired of paying outlandish taxes and I am not going to take it anymore!<br /><br />Throw the corrupt bastards out of office, immediately!Edienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24744976.post-22580308172808061212009-09-10T11:38:36.612-05:002009-09-10T11:38:36.612-05:00Greedy insurance companies and greedy big business is killing people people cant afford to go to the doctor or medicine because of evil profits we need fairness we need a nation-wide fund raising policy to pay for this lots of money can be raised by taxing sugar consumption and fast food and anything purchased from walmart should be a 50% tax on all the wealthy from $20,000 and up.
