It’s no different than auto insurance. The problem is that the BIg Dog Health Insurance Companies can not [read: will not] offer an affordable health plan to 20-35 year olds, disabled, and sick people. Let the government [read: taxpayers] take care of ‘em is there motto.

And, so it will. And who benefits? Well, first and foremost: the taxpayers. We have a larger pool of participants paying into the system to help care for the sick and disabled. We the People cut are losses. We the People can sign up for the government plan if we want to and if we have to. We the People are no longer going to have to scrounge & beg for preventive care, emergency care, specialization, hospitalization, prescription drugs, and medical follow-up.

It all makes sense to me. Just plain bu$ine$$ $ense.

Get with it, People. Sorry Blue Cross, Blue Shield, Anthem, Aetna, UnitedCare, and CIGNA. You lose!

Katie compares car insurance to health insurance and then states, “pls don’t try to point to some problem in a specific area as the reason we shouldn’t do Universal care”. LOL

We the people decide if we want insurance. We the people can not be ordered by the U.S. Government legally to TAKE our property and then to give it to another under some tryranistic oppressive communist attempt to take our property. The Banks and the Government partnered to TAKE our properties in violation of the Constitution and they both profited from it, and now the Government is UnConsitutionally attempting to TAKE our property,liberties, and pursuits of happyness. We the people hereby order the Congress and the Judges to cease and desist in attepting to rob our properties to give to themselves as the government benefits by raising taxes upon the health care industry after ensuring the TAKING of our property to be given to them..then to the government..Since when did America become Merry Ole England again????

The govt has the right to require health insurance just as states may require car liability insurance. The govt has the right to require people to pay Social security taxes, so that they will not be a burden on others in their old age.

The govt should have the right if it doesn’t already to require people to carry medical insurance, so they don’t become a burden on others. Or be able to simply buy insurance when they are seriously ill. Which would be the equivalent of a dying person buying life insurance.

The republican party with its load of protecting life supporters should be supporting Obama’s health care bill. Virtually every industrialized nation has, one way or another guaranteed health care for all.

And while every solution has some problems, pls don’t try to point to some problem in a specific area as the reason we shouldn’t do Universal care.

If the Federal Government may have this type of Juristiction over companies to order and make them pay for this and that as a business but they have no authority over the person to order them to pay for this or that thus the idea of personal liberty. Further, it is not just an entrusion it is a theft of our property a TAKING and a violation of the Constitution. The U.S. Government has lost its way and is not only overstepping its authority is also violating their Constitutional oaths in the making of such laws. The Judges are missing the point that We the people are the boss and that their power not ours is limited to what we allowed them to have and we didn’t allow them to tell us what we spend our money on its our money..not theirs..they have no right no say. Just because they have commited Consitutional violations in other legal judgements they now use those violations as excuses to justify further violations..hands in the cookie jar…again..its a slippery slope..

The Constitution leaves powers that were not specified for the Congress to the people. The people refuse absolutely to allow the government to perform a TAKING of our property effectively transfering our property to the Health Care industry. It is a violation of the Constitution and Congress and the Judges have NO AUTHORITY to require us to do it. NO GOVERNMENT BRANCH was given the power to order unConstitutional laws or judgements. We the people hereby forbid the Government branches to attempt to violate the Constitution and start upholding it as their oath of offies demands!
