Ms. Tucker,
Once again, you prove your ignorance. For those that say health care is blind to color, you prove once again this is false. I’ll never understand you or peeps like you. Our country was built on capitalism and freedom. This bill ignores both…and raises the costs to those who already pay to much. True health care reform begins with tort reform, which will never happen with Obobo the Clown in office.

Obama is right were he should be after he’s first year. Look what he started with and he did tell American recovery will take time. Remember it was the biggest crisis in how long.
And Heath Care Reform is supported by both parties…finally the republicans realize they can not stand in the way of progress, they support it but of course want to make changes. If they have better ideas…great!! Tell us. Maybe they did and I missed it.

One thing the new administration clearly did not anticipate was that Republicans in Congress would be so consistently and unanimously obstructionist — or that Democrats would have to be introduced to the alien concept of party discipline. It took the White House too long to realize that bipartisanship does not exist.

If our President succeeds so does America. I wish George Bush had been Successful. Unfortunately for everyone in this country, Bush left us with banks in collapse, two costly wars, one drowned city, skyrocketing healthcare, a doubled national deficit, and on and on.
I think it’s a shame President Bush didn’t leave office with our country in a state of prosperity. I think it’s unfortunate the new President has such a Herculean task to overcome. But I hope he succeeds. Regardless of political affiliation, to hope for anything else truly is unAmerican

No doubt Cynthia belongs to that very small minority of Americans who are still happy that they voted for Obama.

Obama is in bed with the insurance companies, which is why the goal of this health “reform” bill is to to FORCE Americans to buy an insurance product.

IF this bill becomes law, it will be found UNCONSTITUTIONAL, and the Dems will be kicked out on their butts.

Bankrupt the country – are you kidding. What about the military? They are a socialist institution (government run) that we are forced to support. Does the military provide service based on what an individual is able to purchase or the size of the business they work fo? If you are afraid of terrorism maybe you should buy a protection plan from a private group. Terror is not having the ability to provide a life saving service or product for your self even when educated and working. So would the terrorist be the ones who support this type of system. How many Americans died because of lack of insurance versus those killed by terrorist. These are all American deaths.

If you do not support a system that is government run and protects the people of the United States because it is anti-capitalist, part of a nannie state or is an unfair burden on your lifestyle, etc, etc, re-examine your support of our troops, police, roads, national parks. I hope you do not consider “We the people” a liberal/socialist opinion too.

Cynthia, you must have blinders on when it comes to what the polls say about the health care legislation. If the majority of people are against it, how can it be politcally popular?

[...] Health care reform will prove politically popular | Cynthia Tucker – But she’s by no means the only parent to worry about health insurance for adult children. The labor-force-entry period right after college has frequently been a time of low earnings and no benefits for young workers, who are routinely ….. Add to that a 250K cap on puntitive damages, the ability of insurance companies to sell paper across state lines and the elimination of health care for illegals. And none of the above would cost the American taxpayer a thin dime. … [...]

Give me a reason why should I pay for someone else health care who smokes, drinks alcohol and is probably feeding junk food to the family? I watch what I eat, I know smoking is not good for my health and also know that alcohol can lead to health problems in long term.
Also why would I pay for some one who is below the income threshold because they made stupid choice growing up like watching too much football and drinking beer while some one else was working hard?
I agree that some people genuinely need healthcare like kids, elderly and people who have some medical condition that require resources that normal person can’t muster.
There got to be some way to filter out the true needy from the hoodlum liberal crowd. Taking money from the working people and putting in a pool for needy (lazy liberal) without any accountability is not a health care.

That is an interesting analogy if it applied- non profit hospitals can’t deny coverage
