“Having a vehicle is a choice, no matter where you live, and you have a large choice of insurance companies from which to choose, unlike health insurance companies. For-profit insurance companies DO NOT belong in our health care system. It's time for medicare for all. It's the morally right thing to do, and these lawmakes know it, but they aren't really running the show.”

“The dates at which a bill will take effect is enough of an incentive for the insurance companies to take advantage and rake it in just like the credit card companies are doing. Then, even after the bill kicks in, it still mostly caters to the insurance companies, especially with the mandate. It is shameful!”
unity08 replied on Dec 19, 2009 at 14:14:07
“There has been an amendment that will take care of the "until the bill kicks in rate hike problem", that has been voted on and passed. This amendment would not allow insurance companies to raise their present rates beyond normal inflation cost.”

“It seems to me that nobody seems to know what is really in the incomplete bill. I am hoping that there is good in it, considering how mad the rethugs are.”

“"...they can always go back to the drawing board to make it better."
Not before it does some real damage to people like me. I don't want to have to pay much higher premiums because I have a pre-exisitng condition, or because I'm older. What if I can't pay those premiums? If I give up my insurance, I'll be fined. This bill, as it stands, is a horrible bill full of loopholes and perks for the insurance industry, and of very little benefit to me or anybody else. It is NOT better than nothing. Right now, I have really good insurance that could get really screwed up if this bill passes. I hate anything done half-a$$ed, and this bill is really done half-a$$ed. All because of GREED!”

“Or how they will feel when they get taxed on the insurance they already have, or have to pay higher premiums because of pre-existing conditons, or pay higher premiums for being older. All three would affect me. I hope this bill goes down in flames!”

“I don't think Obama should have pushed for health care so soon anyway. He should have concentrated on the economy and the two wars, get them under control, then tackle health care. Just like the Clintons, he went at it too soon into his presidency.”
