A crummy health bill’s better than nothing

Why does the insurance mafia always have to be a part of the "solution" to healthcare, when they're the problem?

It seems the only purpose they (the insurance creeps) serve is to keep the paper mills running.

the tax credit will help and the pooling idea is already in use here in CT. and has helped. The more commercial options that small businesses can access the better.
Very difficult to cross state line as each state has it's own set or required covered mandates so this is not something that is easily done.

Been in the medical field for over 30 years. Many, many people do not really care about their health until some emergency happens. Having a new car, cell
phones for 8 in the family, new clothes all the time, 3-4 TVs in one house, eating out all the time and the list goes on. Until people value themselves don't see
why the rest of us have to pay for those that could care less. Helping the ones that don't have all that stuff, sure!

This is ridiculous. When will the Congress of the United States do something to help people instead of insurance companies. Health care doesn’t have to be modeled after the Canadian or French systems to work, but it also can not continue the way it is.

CHOICE is another front to make Velázquez and Pitts falsely appear to be doing something about the problem. If they really wanted to fix the problem then come up with something that will really work.A bill with a win win for all, not a stick it one side at the expence of others. Create cooperatives that will work instead of duplicating existing laws and call it something new. I'm not giving away the secrets here but it certianly can be done...I'm doing it!

We need universal health care now. The socialists who work for the government are there only for one purpose, not prestige, not high pay, not connections to make a fortune, and not to kiss crooked lobbiests. The only reason they are there is to benefit the people who pay these lousy taxes for these bums, in other words they are there ONLY for the citizens. THEY ARE NOT DOING THEIR JOB! Instead of letting the infastructure of the U.S. be fixed, they sit on their dead ones while a war crime is perpetrated. They have the best of health care and pensions. I bet close to 50% is spent on these freeloaders, and others of the total government, which has grown like the communist party into a privileged class, while producing no real product, while the citizens can be danmned. DO SOMETHING TO FIX THIS YOU LAGGARDS!

Why the barriers to crossing state lines? We are looking at this from a state perspective and not from the needs of individuals. Why it is so hard for us to understand that treating someone with sugar problems early will save money in the long run? How different can early intervention be from state to state?

We will not see any substantial changes in our health care system until we replace many members of congress. The same ones who take money from the health care lobbyist and who have never made a payroll. It is simple, make available to all americans the same plan all members of congress enjoy.

Isn't it lovely that they now choose to do something to help. Nice that the senators and representatives voted themselves lifetime "good" healthcare and benefits while the poor suffer.

If you think the healthcare system is bad now, wait till you see what it will be under Obama's socialist system. Facillities will be overcoweded,shortage of doctors, long waits for people who need surgery, rationed care, especially the elderly, America wll be a magnet for illegals and others to get "free" care
