“I believe that an new ammendment should be added to the Health Care Reform Bill
NO Prostrate proceedure shall be paid for by the federal gov or any insurance industry within the health exchange.
Once a man has prostrate surgery..most become impotent....shooting blanks, which impeeds our right to produce new life

“You should know it's PROSTATE, not prostrate. Prostrate means to lie flat. I guess after prostate surgery one might be prostrate.”

“Karen was strictly talking about the Stupak abortion ammendment.....and she is right..no man is gonna tell me what I can and can not do with my body....no government is gonna tell me what I can and cannot do with my body..period.
I agree with insurance companies deciding what I need and dont need health care wise....but..abortion is an individual moral decision...the Stupak ammendment is not moral..was based on religion and it is an affront against all women...Seperation of church and state
Tis time we women fight back!!!!”

“they didn't make it illegal. i believe it is a personal choice . but my question is how many reacting to the amendment are just as big advocates for birth control. no baby no abortion necessary.and my understanding abortions for pregnancies resulting from acts of violence and medical necessity are still covered.
i know several women who've had abortions. all elective and paid for out of pocket. and only one of them had more than one. the rest got reliable birth control that they practice religiously . or finally decided they were ready had their children then they or the father chosen to sterilization. to me when you say they take away your choice that means they made it illegal but that's not true. and is this the final bill. if not instead of articles like this write your senators and encourage others that feel the same to do the same.”

“and vivien....the more people enrolled the stronger and more efficient the public option will become....I believe that the public option should be available to all Americans...possibly they could insured all present uninsured ppl and small business employees of businesses with 50 workers or less....then after one yr.open it up to the entire public as a part of the health exchange.....a gradual build will give the Gov't time to iron out the glitches”
vivienwe replied on Oct 28, 2009 at 22:19:32
“yes , that sounds reasonable . glitches should not be a reason to shy away ,right ? insurance co need this inorder to keep them honest . if the po is too small then it will not effectively compete and it will not reign in costs . in switzerland they only have private insurance unlike france single payer . the swiss insurance co are regulated so that they are not allowed to make aprofit on basic services ,only on extras like private hospital rooms . This kind of regulation would have acheived the same type of reform . but we did not go down that rode and the only thing on the table now is the public option .”
