Get rid of Drug Company Adds on TV! This will help to curtail their influence on my choices for medical care.

Fire and police protection are not commodities to be bought and sold for corporate profit. Our present system, which makes health care a corporate commodity, has not delivered and cannot deliver the goods.

HMO interfered with my father-in-laws right of choice for convalescent care. Good insurance I have paid for all my life has now been reduced because I am over 65 & need it more. We need a SINGLE PAYER insurance for everyone that pays a fair amount to care providers.

My retirement income barely covers the high cost of medical insurance and I am only 61. It's just not acceptable that the richest country in the world doesn't take care ot its own. What's up with that?

We are the only major industrialized nation to not have a health care system that takes care of everyone. This is absurd. Even when you have insurance you live in terror of getting sick becuase of how little it covers and/or how you can never get coverage again if you lose what you have.
# 227:
This country should have a health care system based on need---not greed.
# 226:
# 225:
The health care system is broken. We need a total revamping of the insurance system.

I am a breast cancer survivor (2 1/2 years to go until my 5 year mark). I lost my job in March 2007 and have not been able to obtain other employment since that time. I have been paying COBRA insurance premiums @ $434 per month. These benefits will run out in Sept. 2008. In an attempt to find medical care insurance, no insurance company will even consider me, once they hear the word 'cancer'. This is abhorrent to me!! If I am able to be insured with a provider, there is no estimate of how much it will cost. Due to my age (60) it is difficult not only to obtain employment; but also to to qualify for medical insurance at a reasonable cost. Please, please do something about the health care crisis in this country!

This is a vitally important issue and becoming moreso every year.

My mother is uninsured because of the extreme cost of health insurance and is too young for Medicaid. She is now dying of bile duct cancer and has to depend on our wonderful local hospice (who is funded privately) for pain control and management.

MY SISTER IS SELF EMPLOYED - SHE IS STRUGGLING TO PAY OVER $1400 A MONTH FOR HER HEALTHCARE COSTS-AND THEY ARE SO READY TO CANCEL HER POLICY IF PAYMENT IS LATE, ETC. SAD STATE OF AFFAIRS.

Health care should be a basic right to all American people without any hidden agenda by the powers that be.

It is important to me because all peoples are entitled to appropriate no matter what the financial circumstance is.
