I'm not sure what to think about this new health care problem there have not been enough information give out to the public to see if we would agree with it or not. All the information in the health care plan doesn't make sence to a reg. person and when you read it it ref. to page back so you got to reread those pages. So reading each chapter is like read a new book from the first page again.

I really hope we get health care passed. We should not have as many people in the richest country in the world uninsured. Please use common sense and fact check the mis-information, i.e. death panels! This is fear tactics encouraged and paid for by the wealthy Ins. Co. I lived in Canada and can't understand health care here. Don't believe the lies about the Canadian Health Care. It is time to change. The saving to families, companies and our economy will be huge.

What middle class? Millions of people are going without proper medical care. Even if we have to fix things as needed it is better to help those that need help. If Europe can do it so can we. I had to break pills in half because I could not afford to buy them each month. I had to buy them bi-monthly. Americans need help.

It'll never work. I'm very concerned about my mom. She has been in a nursing home for over two years, after suffering a massive stroke. What's going to happen to her???

Instead of entirely government program, we should offer something similar to the Medicaid/Medicare but offer it to a wider range of people. Others continue to have regular insurance. For example, I fall into the category of insured. Im stay-at-home mom & my husband's self employeed.We both have minor pre-existing condition.When we tried to get private insurance (which we prob couldn't afford anyway) we were denied because of small conditions.But on the other hand, we aren't bad enough to receive Medicaid. We live paycheck-to-paycheck. When we get sick we cant go to the dr. Costs around $200 to see dr, then pay for med. What makes me mad is medicaid & insurance companies ALL pay a lesser rate than the office visit cost, but uninsured have to pay full price & we are the ones that have to choose to either pray to not get sick or not pay my electric bill. Why should I have to pay full fees when nobody else does?

I believe it would work. I do not have a job and going to school ful-time and have no health care help besides my savings. I also do sports and have asthma, which put my body through a lot. Even though my body has a lot to go through, i havent been to a doctor for some years due to money issues. I no there are a lot more people like me who need help but can't find it. I believe new health care would improve the US as a whole

The Republican's who were there trying to be heard did not look like rich people to me. That is such a myth considering every RICH celebrity and big wig is a Democrat. It's annoying that normal working class people can't say anything because it essentially becomes an issue of race and who wants that? Therefore, nothing gets said.

I live in Canada, and we have excellent health care that is included in our taxes. I would Hate to live in the States with their current situation. I am extremely happy here, and feel like we have world class health care.

Yes, it is true that people in Canada who have free healthcare must wait long periods of time before they can actually see a doctor. But for many people, it is better to have the opportunity to wait for a doctor than to not even have a chance to see a doctor at all. Something is better than nothing, in my opinion.
