True. I considered myself a healthy person when I was young. Running road races every week, bicycling, cross training, rarely sick, no meds needed, etc. Then the old bod started breaking down. Pa-tooey!

Same with my brother in law who was one of most healthiest person in whole family. Eat healthy foods, run marathon, exercise a lot and so on and on till it hit him hard last year when he was only 51. He has MS. Became blind in one vision and lost the feeling side of his whole body till he had to pay thousand dollars of treatment to help his MS. He slowly got his vision back and feeling back but $30,000.00 in debt. He even bought his own health insurance thru private for many years( he had his own small business) but it does not cover hidden costs alike MRI and treatments. We are encourage him to apply SSDI for medicare because he needs a long time treatment with his MS.


Anyway you people dont get it. It will come to you one of these day alike it happened to my brother in law because he had same attiude as many of you are here. Now he understands but sadly he has to live with it and living in fear of being losing home and being broke for rest of his life. He is no longer able to work so his son takes over his business for him and run. That is what republicans try to destroy people alike him who voted for republicans.
 
I support common-sense health care reforms that would lower costs, preserve quality, end lawsuit abuse, and maintain the health care that Americans deserve. Having a govt-run health care would simply be disastrous. It brings up questions about the protection of physician-patient relationship. It stymies competition. And it also brings to question health care quality and choices.

Yeah, but the problem is that those questions too often end up as assumptions.

I want affordable and reasonable cost to purchase a full health insurance so Americans can pick any of health insurance that they like with many features and more competitive.

Also I agree with all of you listed above.

I think Newsweek is wrong (Newsweek is nothing more than an obama newsletter anyway).....and that it costs $0 to try it and see who is right.

The other article doesn't really give an opinion and it's concerns are negated by the fact that most insurance is group insurance.

Like I said over and over during the debate...it just makes sense to try the cheap/free stuff first. Heck most of the bill they passed doesn't go into effect until 2014.

My point is that there are people out here being destroyed by medical debt, and the Republican are more concerned about a deficit than them.

It has always puzzled me how people who claim to be moral and ethical can ignore the problems that lak of health care and unfair and discriminatory insurance practices have created for millions. Until, of course, they are in some way negatively affected by it. Then their attitude changes immediately. Why? Complete self centeredness.

Exactly. Once again, people are trying to make a choice that is fiscally impossible. But they look no farther than "affordable" and "not mandatory". No thought given to what policy needs to be in place to make that happen, and how that policy can be instituted under our current system.

Nearly 59 million lack health insurance - Health - Health care - msnbc.com

Nearly 59 million Americans went without health insurance coverage for at least part of 2010, many of them with conditions or diseases that needed treatment, federal health officials said on Tuesday.

They said 4 million more Americans went without insurance in the first part of 2010 than during the same time in 2008.

"Both adults and kids lost private coverage over the past decade," Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told a news briefing.

The findings have implications for U.S. healthcare reform efforts. A bill passed in March promises to get health insurance coverage to 32 million Americans who currently lack coverage.

59 million - 32 million = 27 million without coverage.
