Our leaders are locked up in partisanship. They do not have the concerns of their constituancy at heart. This is an agenda that they are comitted on pushing through. Slow down, get jobs first, improve the economy, and then work collectively on reform. |
I think it is awful that the members of Congress are only thinking of political gain and not the people. |
I do not trust that the government has our best interests in mind. I am concerned about the power the government is attempting to sieze with this bill and the effect it will have on generations to come. |
They are going down the wrong path. Free market solutions need to solve the problems not government. |
I think they should tackle it in small pieces rather than such a radical overhaul of the system. |
We need to get something done. This bill is imperfect but at least it is a start. The current situation dominated by the insurance companies is criminal, in my opinion. |
Yes, we need health care reform but the massive plan they are trying to ram through now is filled with sweetheart deals, other legislation not related to health care, double talk and union deals. It needs to be scrapped and a new bill drawn up. |
Every time an American dies because he or she could not afford health ins. - a little of our Country dies along with them. It needs to change!!! |
If I ran my business like the government runs theirs I would have been in bankruptcy a long time ago!!!! They need to wake up to reality!!! |
This current bill is going to cripple America. It will give me a pile of new mandates and increase the cost of hiring. It will reduce the care that I, my family, and my employees receive. It will do nothing to reduce costs other than price controls. It is bad for America. There are simple market solutions that would lead to getting the costs under control -- but those lead to the single payer of the consumer of the health care paying for his own health care, also known as freedom, which the government will never allow. |
I am adamantly opposed to this bill. It is a government power play that will diminish our freedom. Economically, it will bankrupt our nation. It is diametrically opposed to what our Founding Fathers envisioned for our nation. |
As a small business owner, my biggest concern is to be in a position to offer good health insurance coverage to my employees at a reasonable cost without being penalized for age, pre-existing conditions, etc. |
