Erica Bottaro: Since when do poor people pay for health care? Most get medicade
Idell Mulliniks: Get a grip! No matter what Obama decrees, illegals will NOT become U.S. Citizens for years. They will get Green Cards and Work Permits, but no Citizenship. Even Supreme Leader Obama can't grant Citizenship that easily.
Mario Stricklan: No, not at all. I have a preexisting condition and it makes it very difficult and expensive to get health insurance. It's sad that in such a great country many people have to go bankrupt because they became ill through no fault of their own.
Marcellus Yoshimori: lazy unhealthy people will never listen
Roxane Leathers: no individual is a great deal shocked. black everybody is slaves to liberal ideologists. they are brainwashed to equate conservative values and concepts (precisely what they favor the most) as being "racist". someone like mlk jr. may be considered a "promote out" immediately. that obama replaced into "b! lack" almost garanteed the black vote because of race. thats it. doesnt do not forget that black human beings will be harmed with suggestions from liberal guidelines, doesnt do not forget that obama did even a lot less for black human beings in his first time period than even bush. compared to each and each and every election to have taken position considering that black human beings might want to vote... this very last election addressed black subject matters the LEAST. black peoples liberal masters were loose to spotlight catering to different particular pastimes communities fullyyt. @sarah no... those human beings you describe contained in the south were DEMOCRATS. black human beings were in truth REPUBLICANS. you're able to comprehend that because the civil rights era... its Liberal ideologists that co-opted both the democratic AND black agenda. **to the fool who despatched a rage mail then blocked me lol sure Martin Luther King jr. replaced right into a Social CONSERVA! TIVE you twit. @lee i comprehend that you're a present day day! black slave. notwithstanding the liberal ideologies that are eroding this u . s . a . are NEW, their theories have worked NO the position contained in the international. they have been whispering countless substances those very previous few a lengthy time period... and prefer a reliable slave, you're blaming others on your own masters mess ups. what YOUR leaders on the time needed, replaced into the "glory" days... they in basic terms needed a honest shot. immediately that concept scares you demise...you may't conceive of living without a liberal state, the position you're cared for and offered for. thats why damaged and defeated black human beings vote democrat. liberals flow money from A to B. thats it, as long as you're area of B. you supply them each and everything.
Darwin Ecton: Stop by skipping the hyperbole. When you claim that the advertising makes it "just as addictive as drugs," you've just lost most of the people who were reading or listening to your arg! ument.
Arlen Decorte: Keep in mind, Obama has white heritage in him as well. It is the "white half" I dislike. By the way, I'm white.(This is a joke, so take it that way, please.)Truthfully, people disapprove of Obama because of his policies, not his skin color. I know several people, who a few years ago, would have voted for Colon Powell for President, but would never and will never vote for Obama.I do know, and the statistics bear out the fact that 90% of register blacks voted for Obama in 2008. I also know that the vast majority of Obama's critics, before the election and today, were not racists, but simply right. They know Obama was and is wrong for this country.
Cyndy Grimes: In the US - yes, health care should only be for the rich.In 1st world countries - Health care is a right for everyone, not a privilege.
Jammie Taddei: I voted for Obama, because he was the most prominent left-wing candidate that would win. I still would of voted for Obama if he ! was white or yellow. Also, Democrats ruining the country? Coming from ! the imperialist rightists who created a $9.2 trillion debt in this country.
Bethanie Menden: You're perpetuating the misconception that a reasonable person would conclude that a criticsm of Obama is automatically race-based. You guys like to claim that, but it has little basis in reality.
Wilfred Santacruce: Government caused all the problems in our healthcare systemthe democrats "great society" turned into a massive fail
Launa Weingarten: I think so! They said some where around August so lets hope so!!
Gennie Shauer: Very often that person making $30,000/year could afford health care if they cut a few luxuries and made the choice to pay for their health care. Buy a cheaper house and car, pass on the iPhone for a while. I'm sure they could do without 500 channels from cable T.V. and the Public Library has internet access for free. If everybody who "can't" afford health care would get their priorities straight, most could afford health insurance. If! they limited their visits to the doctor or hospital only to the big things, insurance costs wouldn't be so much. If you see your doctor for a cold, pay for it out of pocket. Insurance is meant to be for the big things that you can't afford to pay out of pocket. Too many people abuse it. That's what happens when you give people stuff for free. If they actually had to pay for it themselves they wouldn't do it.Under a government health care system the child who had cancer may not be considered cost effective and may not be covered. Government run health care drives up the cost, it has an unfair advantage over the private sector because the government makes the rules, and it's NOT free. The government will just confiscate more of OUR hard earned money, reducing our buying power....Show more
Michal Semple: Why would you think this as almost everyone has access to health care at this point. Just not always insurance. If the manager at BK is being paid $30,000 a year, guess! what he can afford to buy insurance, he just needs to stop living beyo! nd his means. the single mother who is living below poverty, already has access to health care through the state and federal government for not only herself but her child. the only one of the three you mention that would be strapped for health care would be the individual who is in remission form childhood cancer under the current system and only then if they are a middle class wage earner. No one is refused care under the current system, they are merely refused to seek assistance at specific medical facilities without insurance....Show more
Corey Rohleder: Actually, most blacks voted for him because is black. And that is not a racist statement. It is the truth. I remember seeing on the news where this old woman who was close to 70 years old and black and had NEVER voted in an election before. But she voted in this one. And she voted for Obama. How do I know? She told us all on tv when the interviewed her. I know of several blacks who had never ever voted befo! re but they registered and voted in this election and they voted for obama.I am curious if the change they got and are going to get is what they were hoping for?
Fritz Sisomphou: there was a time in this country when people understood the idea of personal responsibility. I know it is an alien concept now, but I get health care through my work, it costs me 100 bucks a month taken right out of my pay check. I could use that money to go out to dinner more, or to buy more fun stuff. But if i get sick i am screwed. The fact is that most people are simply not willing to do what it takes to get health care. My neighbor works a full time job, which has health care coverage. However it does not leave her much money at the end of the day after all bills are paid. She is not willing to fore go health care coverage SO SHE GOT A PART TIME JOB TO MAKE UP THE DIFFERENCE. I know what a concept. OMG she is taking responsibility for making sure she has coverage AND all her bills paid. ! And if there is something extra she wants to do. She works more shifts.! at one job or the other. her kids are fine, they still have a mother and they are learning the value of hard work....Show more
Wilfred Santacruce: And, of course, the flip side..Should the "poor" have to put off buying that new flat screen TV to pay for health insurance?Should the "poor" really cut back on the hundreds spent on smokes and beer, and use that money on health insurance?Should we really expect "the poor" to waste all that time and hassle getting up every day and going to school?Should we really have expected that single mother to think before hopping into bed with every random guy that came along without bothering with birth control?Is it really fair for anybody to expect "the poor" to use sound fiscal judgement and common sense when we could instead just steal more money from other people to cover their stupidity?...Show more
Justin Casten: Should the indigent use the police power of government to usurp wealth from productive men in order to pay f! or their health care? Do we owe a portion of our lives just because they ignored their education and/or popped out a few F trophies a little too soon? How much money do I owe them personally? How many man hours a year should I spend in service to the poor? How many of my heart beats should be stolen from me BY FORCE by our benevolent government and given away at every street corner? HOW MANY?!? BTW - I was able to afford adequate health coverage when I was making 18k a year and paying for university. You don't have to have coverage for every bump and bruise - just the really important stuff. Get over your entitlement mindset and make a living for yourself like an adult. Recognize your wealth envy and get rid of it. Stop whining about how much the world owes you - because it doesn't owe you a thin red pubic hair....Show more
Foster Padgette: Here's a recent example. It's also proof that the 0bama administration continues to lie to the American people. Unemployment ! at .09 percent. Dollars toi donuts the GOA will come out in a week or! two with revised numbers, and they're always higher. The recent report that 36,000 jobs were created in January would have no affect on the % change for unemployment, and a 1/2 % point takes a whole bunch more jobs than that.
Cyndy Grimes: Case in point, if a person who works as a shift manager at burger king for 30,000 a year, who cannot afford health insurance, be denied health care because he is too poor to afford it?I had a choice to make when I was earning $25K/year. Health care or bigger apartment/higher standard of living/party. I chose health care and paid the premiums. I maintain that a person earning $30K a year could have health coverage if they really wanted it badly enough.Should a child, who once had cancer at an early age but is now 100% cured, be refused health care for the rest of his or her life because the health care company decided that they could not make profit on them?I'm iffy on this one. Perhaps the child should be accepted, but with a ! slightly increased premium due to their predisposition for cancer and the expensive treatments that the company may end up on the hook for.Should a working single mother who is below the poverty line be refused health care for herself or her child just because she is poor?If she's living below poverty level then she can get Medicaid already. She and her child will receive health care. If she REALLY wants a good life for her child, she'll get off her butt and make a better life for herself. I did it... as a single mother of two.Should health care just be for the rich?It's not. That's a bleeding heart propaganda line. We have programs for the needy in which they're provided health care. Anyone with an emergency will be seen in an ER. Anyone not living in poverty can make it work so that they have health coverage. I've done it, and I've seen people around me opt not to have it saying they "can't afford it". These same people manage to "afford" a standard of living tha! t's higher than my own. I have an acquaintence now who whines about no! t being able to afford a $550/month premium for insurance. This same person pays $700/month for her car and $500/month for her husband's car. I won't go into their other ridiculous spending. Simply put, the high numbers of uninsured in the US often comes down to a matter of personal choice. I won't be forced into feeling guilt because people have made poor life decisions....Show more
Long Woltjer: NO ...that's not what we've been saying ...our health care needs reform no doubt ; but i don't like your way nor obama's wayhere is the deal-the tax treatment of health insurance is a big problem , Equalizing the tax treatment and financing of health care is the first step we need to take in realigning the incentives in the system to provide consumers with better quality care at lower cost. - we need to expand coverage options for Americans by promoting competition in the insurance market and partnering with states to develop solutions for those who are hard to insure.so! i wanna insist on some points ;1.we need Equal tax treatment for health coverage.2.some Federal assistance to the states to cover vulÂnerable populations would be fine..3.during campaign, McCain suggested Creating a Universal Tax Credit for Health Insurance...Show more
Antonia Quinnett: By being a role model who eats healthy and stays away from junk food. Been doin' that for close to 20 years now.
Cornelius Thornborrow: I've tried to explain to people what their food choices were doing to them. They look at me as if I've lost my mind, and say "But it TASTES good!" We have become a pleasure first society (thanks, liberals). And diseases 'just happen to unlucky people'. They are victims. They are heroes. And never ever to blame for making themselves sick.Go out to some public place and look at the people. See if you can even count two out of ten that aren't chewing or slurping on something. It's like everyone needs to stay in a constant state of orgasm....Show m! ore
Morris Olexy: As long as people keep buying their junk food, ! they'll keep selling it. A thousand people who think like you could march against them, and as long as mainstream America continues it's junk food addiction and keeps coming back as customers, that's what counts to a business. There's not much you can do to change other people's behaviors. I know you don't like government outright banning anything, but have you considered other options instead. The only real solution is going to be a political one. We've had great success cutting down smoking rates - the government has managed to cut smoking rates in half from what they were decades ago. And cigarettes were never made illegal.Maybe there should just be plain packaging and warning labels required on junk foods. Is that really a threat to anyone's freedom in any way?...Show more
Blair Abdi: Health care should be available to whoever can pay for it!
Clark Lachowski: Yes
Silvia Stclair: Human beings are not illegal, they may or may not have a visa or a residen! cy permit. The legislation is not in. If all goes well it will take up to three to five years.
Annabell Bevier: I want to start a massive campaign to get us to send a message to those places of filth like bk chikfila mcdonalds wendys dq taco bell etc that we won't poison our bodies with their food that is stuffed chock full of glutamates which are as addictive as cocaine.But how? I don't wanna force the govt to do stuff about it cuz thats unconstitutional. I wanna persuade people to take their consumer money elsewhwere so those places close off or change...Show more
Abby Herwood: None over 21 at any rate.

Jannette Kotz: Health care is available to everyone. The poor get it through our tax dollar.They claim that there are 47 mil! lion people that are uninsured.

Toby Caswell: I know, most of you are not racist. Racial comments are often made on here, but this is a very poor sampling (not to mention breeding ground for trolls), and virtually every conservative I know personally never says anything about Obama's race.I have to disagree with you though that you disagree with what any Democrat does that ruins the country ("you" as in conservatives in general, not you specifically). It seems to be split between "as a matter of principle" and "ruining our country" as reasons.
Lynn Hollars: start with soft drink companies
Ellis Cellar: Nobody is denied health care. By law they have to treat you in the ER. The poor have access to more and better health care than the middle class and rich via medicaid and SCHIP programs. Learn the facts.
Karl Samiec: RICH PEOPLE GET SICK?!!Oh yea! h, thanks for reminding Ted.
Terrell Lawman: I'm certainly not rich and I have health care.
Bell Pasco: Better idea, mind your own business and stop spreading lies
Jesusita Dykhoff: Absolutely agree with you. The state of American healthcare is one of the most disgusting things about the country. Some of the other people answering this don't know what they're talking about.15% of people have no insurance coverage whatsoever.Healthcare is a right, not a privilege, the notion that your right to life or a good standard of living should be denied to you because of your income is absurd. As is the idea of it being tied to your job. In fact the very notion that you should hesitate about sinking treatment, risking your life, because of monetary concerns is wrong.Not only is the US healthcare system unfair, but it is also inefficient in terms of both costs and outcomes. American healthcare costs twice as much as European counterparts. Its administrative costs are ! huge. And yet it has one of the lowest life expectancies in the industr! ialised world, and an infant mortality half that of Sweden and less than Cuba's.The American people agree with us, 76% want a public option.The best healthcare systems in the world have mandated, universal health-insurance at a single price, with full coverage for everyone; for example Holland and France. The best healthcare system in the world for the resources at hand, Cuba, is entirely free. The US must follow their example....Show more
Joaquin Dronko: Should taxpayers pay for the health care of someone who refuses to budget for caring for their own family? Someone who works for 30,000 CAN get insurance. It might not be the best plan and it might mean sacrifices elsewhere, but that leads into my question above. If someone has cell phone service, internet service, cable TV or satellite, eats out regularly, spends money on alcohol or cigarettes, etc... but doesn't think it important enough to set aside money to pay for a health insurance plan, why should taxpay! ers be forced to pay for their care? It's obviously not important enough to them.The only way to get the best quality care is to allow profits. Therefore health care must cost money. There is no magic to it and personally I prefer the system that allows me full freedom in choosing where I want to get care and what types of services I want. If my insurance doesn't want to cover it, I always have the option to pay for it myself. With government systems, that choice is completely thrown out the window. And don't be fooled into thinking that with a government system everyone gets equal care. All of us common folk will get the mediocre care while the ruling elite get all of the special care and at our expense. At least when the rich get the best care they are paying for it. At taxpayer expense, no less. They certainly aren't paying more to get that better care....Show more
Brock Anwar: OK, no doubt some blacks voted for him for that reason, but I don't think you fin! d much difference between voting percentages vs Clinton OR if Hillary r! uns again...Everyone tends to vote for their party, it's just that Liberals show their dishonesty by calling us racists when we are not and THEY KNOW IT......Show more
Nannie Kasee: It's up to you to decide what to put in your mouth.
Kenneth Thuesen: Maybe you should go back and see what caused health care costs to jump so high in the first place -- government intervention, and frivolous lawsuits.
Gaston Edgcomb: No.There Never were any Honest Liberal or Democrat Politicians."Never trust a Democrat, politician or voter." They just want what you have worked for.
Kris Bozelle: Here's the bottom line, and it's a harsh one. Ready?SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE.No society has enough resources to provide unlimited medical assitance to all of its members. If such a thing ever happens, it's not going to be for a long time.So the question before us is NOT whether we are going to consciously allow some people to die. We HAVE TO. Every system does this.-The only! question is what BASIS we are going to use to determine who lives and who dies.-Now, the free-market solution does let people die through no fault of their own. A person who falls on hard times and is hit by a truck will bleed out instead of getting the care he needs, even if his economic hardship was short term. But since most people who work hard and spend wisely usually manage to store away at least a few resources, it does tend to keep those hard workers alive.But yes. If I were designing a health care system, I wouldn't design it that way. I would provide the least expensive health care universally - any person could at least stop by a doctor from time to time and get assistance maintaining their health. For most people in most circumstances that would be all they needed.Beyond that, more serious interventions would be rationed out first to those who were productive citizens and had actively worked to maintain their health. People who don't meet society half-way! get nothing more. The most rare and expensive processes probably woul! d be left to private insurance for those who wanted it (as well as coverage for slackers who are otherwise denied all but the most minimal of care).But that's me. Your mileage may vary....Show more

Idell Syed: Democrat...Not because he's Black, do you agree?OK, then why can't you accept the fact that Conservatives and Republicans don't like Obama because he's a Democrat and not because he's Black?Why don't you understand that we would be just as opposed to ANY Democrat(or anyone)that's ruining the country no matter WHAT COLOR THE!

Catheryn Small: Illegal immigrants cannot become US citizens. Illegal immigrants must first adjust to legal status and become legal permanent residents. Then, live and work as legal permanent residents for at least five years (three for those who serve in the military or are married to US citizens) and then apply for naturalization (fulfill all other requirements) to be granted US citizenship.The President's proposal to legalize the several million undocumented who qualified must be approved by Congress and then signed into law before anything in my first paragraph can happen....Show more
Alonso Crehan: As soon as Congress rejects amnesty for illegal aliens, Obama will issue an Executive Order to give them citizienship. Yes, illegal aliens are more hardworking than Americans, it was only because of all the illegal aliens in the military that America defeated Germany and Japan.
Hollis Demasters: Well Republicans can be the bad ! guys if they want to about Health care for the poor . But that certainl! y will not get Republicans elected any time soon as in the next 8 years or more .Money has it's rewards But Health Life and death situations should not fall into the reward category and should be available to all -especially children .ANY one who does not think so is Just plain evil .
Rosio Pasculli: There is an ASTOUNDING coincidence between the protesting about 'Obama ruining the country' by out of control spending, being a socialist, and blah, blah, blah that was terribly, terribly quiet during the Bush years with out of control spending, 'socialist spending' on Medicare, and blah, blah, blah. When you look at the differences between Bush and Obama, and you hear Republicans whining about 'the direction of the country' under Obama, but not Bush ... you've REALLY got to wonder. The direction of the country hasn't changed a speck in the past 4 years ... but you only hear the whining about the last 2. What exactly IS the difference between Bush and Obama that you'r! e complaining about? In the absence of other sources of variation, it's pretty natural to observe that the obvious difference is skin color.
Ileen Oshell: When will Obama help make them citizens? do you think it will happen this year or so? they deserve citizenship especially since they're more hardworking than the average american
