Health care shouldn't be a designer item, where the most affluent among us get to have the best health care available and the people in the middle or the poorest have little or no care whatsoever. We're talking about personal health and the opportunity to live a longer life. These things should be considered a human right and not a matter of money.

It really is time to take health care out of the hands of the insurance companies. I've note that Cuba, which spends less than $400 per person per year, has a standard life expectancy for both men and women which is roughly the same as our own--and their doctors still make home visits to elders! This stat. and this fact alone is reason enough to end our current for-profit health care system and switch to a single-payer one!

I have had wonderful health care through my place of employment, but worry about what happens when I retire; I am also concerned about my many fellow citizens who have no health care. This is an embarrassment to our country.

I work for an insurance company and there is far too much paperwork and unnecessary bureaucracy involved in getting basic care and it hurts EVERYONE in the long run and is taking it's toll on our economy.
# 135:
This should be a basic right of all of us. If other countries can do it, why can't we?

I have medical insurance but still can't afford my prescriptions. Prices are too high! Also my sister hasn no coverage and can't afford any. She has a serious chronic medical condtion and doesn't get ANY quality care. We need HELP with coverage!!!!!!!!

I cannot pay for all my health care needs (appointments, prescriptions) every year, and I never make it up to the necessary amount of "extra" costs to deduct health care costs from my taxes. I would like a universal health care system, one where I would not have to battle with insurance companies every month, over every bill. It's so tiring, and we shouldn't have to do this anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is a sin that so many people cannot afford health care in this country. After combatting global warming, this needs to be the second most important thing on the agenda.

My cost for health Care Insurance (COBRA) is $400.00 a month for fairly decent coverage, which I can not afford on unemployment .. or I can get other health Insurance for $130.00 per month (I can afford this) which covers nothing but major medical (hospital admittance). What a choice!?!

Higher quality, lower cost health care is important to all of us -- we must take better care of our own -- as a country, we are only as strong as our weakest link.

Follow in Canada's footsteps. It works! And people don't die because of lack of health care. Try it, you'll like it.

It sickens me that no one in power realls seems to give a rats bottom about all of us who work hard and can't even go to the dentist to get a bad tooth removed, because it would take food out of our children's mouths. Sure the kids get medicaid but what about thier parents and care-givers? My daughter has insurance from her father and she needed a CT scan because she had a sinus infection for over a month and the antibiotics failed to improve her condition. The dr asked the insurance company to ok her scan 2 weeks ago, I just recieved word yesterday that she could be seen on the 15th. What if there was something seriously wrong with her? I'm sick of all this oh I got to check with your insurance before I can give your kid the treatment my medical degree says she needs. What the heck is wrong with the United States anyway!
