It is time to act responsibly for the health care of all citizen of the United States. Currently health care is being confused with capitalistic principles. The goal is not to enrich doctors, hospitals, pharmacutical companies and insurance companys. The goal is to control costs while delivering quality health care to all.

When communities must do fund raisers to help buffer the impact of high healthcare costs for their neighbors and lack of preventative care leads people to only go to the doctor when it is too late or too expensive, and we are the least healthy first world country in the world, there has to be a better way. Please stop the sarcasm and power positioning and listening to polls and start being the leader you were called to be. We need leaders, who are willing to risk for the good of the whole or our communities and families will continue to crumble under the strain of the system we currently live.

Viable health care reform requires a public option.
I voted for change; I voted for viable health care reform. I voted for Barack Obama. I did not vote for Ben Nelson to be the leader of our country.
I pledge to support a challenger to Ben Nelson in the next Senate race.

Please support health care reform. I would rather have a non-profit government group establishing guidelines for health care, than a the for-profit (waste my money on advertisements) private health insurance companies. Families should not have to go bankrupt or go begging to pay for needed health care. The amount of money spent on lobbying and advertising by my insurance and other insurance companies is criminal. It's my insurance money paying for that. That money could be used to improve services and care for those who can't afford health care. There are so many reasons we need change. Just one example, isn't it insame that the same procedure costs twice as much for someone who can't afford insurance?

As I have said from day one, I will not back down when it comes to improving healthcare! I will do whatever I have to do to make my voice heard! I have been in and out of hospitals all my life. I had a seizure disorder for 20 years. For 18 of those years my mom would drive me to my doctor appointments, which was 3 hours away from where I live. Sometimes I often ask myself how she was able to get up so early in the morning, and take me to my doctor appointments!

I am not interested in any more government control of our
health Insurance. I believe in the private sector . I like
AArp for many things but not to have congress pass a bill that no one gets to read. I can not think that it will not
ent up like Canada or other nations med. trt. I like the
Republicans approach to Health reform better. Thank you.

Is it more economical to destroy than to build up? How is it the human community can invest so much in weapons of mass destruction but yet not provide weapons of mass construction in health care?

IF GOVERNMENTS PAID FOR THERE OWN MEDICAL AND HEALTH THEN THE PEOPLE WOULD BE ABLE TO AFFORD THERE OWN CARE,BUT AS THE PEOPLE FUND THE GOVERNMENT THEN MOST GO WITHOUT DUE TO CORRUPTION IN ALL GOVERNMENTS.

I am a Registered Nurse and a strong conservative. Our private health insurance has let us down big time. Last year I took the Medicare Advantage Program, paid the larger co pays, and was cancelled at the end of the year. The company did away with that particular plan. Now I am back to the big supplement premiums. We MUST change the way we deliver health care in America. I serve on the State Board that is studying ways to improve the nursing shortage in our state. We can't even do that without a change in the way we deliver health care. Public Health measures have added more years to life. Their measures are to prevent disease and promote health. We should take a lesson from them.This issue deserves our best critical thinking skills as it affects all Americans. How we can spend trillions on banks and car industry and leave out health care is beyond me. Thanks for listening.

Someone needs to fix the problems we have with our health care. We have insurance (thank God), but we still have copay, or our insurance refuses to pay for a prescription, BECAUSE THEY THINK WE DON'T NEED IT, even tho a doctor wrote out a prescription. Also, worried about parents with children. SOMETHING needs to give! Thank you

Since, in a democracy, we are your superiors and you are merely our servants, we deserve at a minimum the same health care plan provided to you, our servants.

As a Nebraskan who has struggled with how to ensure my family has insurance to meet its medical needs, I understand the importance of this question. I know that it is hard to balance competing interests but none should be put above the health of our people!

We, Nebraskan, who have voted you into office, are the most in need of affordable health care. We are the uninsured and the under insured. Please vote to help your fellow Nebraskans.

I became an RN in 1982. In 1991, I almost lost my life due to my insurance company trying avoid paying for an organ transplant after I found I had liver failure as a result of an autoimmune disorder. Since then my whole life has revolved around keeping health coverage. I continue to work as an RN & continue to find patients who have to decide between medications & food or rent. As a nurse I also see a lot of waste in healthcare. The system is broken--we have to fix it now. The future of our country depends on it.

We need a public sector health care plan. Private health insurance is a rip off.
