Do you understand that we dont want free insurance, we want affordable health care?
Future health care reforms must make health care more affordable. The remaining challenge is to define a truly "level playing field" and make health care affordable for all Americans.
you will have lost most of them at "Do"!

Blah blah blah, as a patriotic American, all I’m hearing is "I’m a socialist and I want to steal all your money." Have fun getting locked up in one of Obama’s secret death camps!

Do you understand what makes the govt option "affordable"?
Using MY tax money to subsidize it!!!!
If you really want to make it more affordable, you should be addressing what is making it expensive – law suits, illegal immigrants using our hospitals for free, etc.

Yeah, the liberals’ argument for reform USED TO BE that we needed "to lower costs to make it affordable." Then you offered a proposal that did absolutely nothing to address that.
So now y’all have changed your mind and said it’s about "getting everybody covered." This means covering others health care at SOMEONE ELSE’S expense. That is wealth redistribution and it is a violation of our property rights and freedom.

Do you understand that it will be free health care for about 10 million people? If I get a break on my insurance, but then my taxes go up, where is the savings? I don’t want to pay for my neighbors insurance. I have a family of my own.

Just how will it be made affordable? With tax money from taxes you dont pay but I have to?

I understand that I’ll be paying for your free health care or subsidizing your affordable health care.

I understand completely might i add im a Constitutionalist. But let me ask you
How do you compete against a company that doesnt need to make profit?
I mean lets say you set up a Lemon aid stand it costs you 30cents to make and you sell for 45cents. Then the Government sells it for 30 cents. Since it only costs them 30cents to make a cup. You lemon aid stand cannot compete since you need to make profit in order to keep in business and keep yourself paid.
Think about it …

Yes, free is what they get when they stay at home watching Jerry Springer, and affordable is when is taken out off their check from their mobile home employer…

I understand very well that if you "want affordable health care", then government should leave it alone and let the free market work.
Tell me, what is it you don’t get about the Congressional Budget Office saying that Obama’s plan INCREASES COSTS!!!
Why do you make these asinine assertions without looking at FACTS?

Your "question" is a very good example of the vast disconnect between substance and rhetoric coming from the Obama Campaign…
Obama basically got elected saying "George Bush is a problem and we need a Change"
Now he is saying "Health Care costs too much and we need a Change." But where is the substance? Where is the long-term plan?
That health care should be reformed is a concept generally agreed upon…..but this Administration seems to think my agreement equals license to implement whatever plan they want…with any objection being labeled as "obstructionist," "selfish" and "hateful toward those in need."
Understand the simple fact that what is being proposed today is not "reform." It is simply a government attempt to extract a larger piece from the broken pie.

Do libs not read the health care reform bill that is proposed? It clearly states within the first 20-25 pages that anyone who looses their insurance for any reason-miss payments, change jobs, anything-will BE REQUIRED to sign on with the government plan. That’s not health care reform that’s government control. By the way it won’t be free it’ll cost us a fortune in higher taxes, at a minimum.
Yes, health care should be more affordable-no one in their right mind disagrees with that-but the government should not be the option. It won’t be affordable,it will be a disaster. Medicare and Medicaid are current government health care systems and they are bankrupt and broken. How is giving the government another health care program/system going to work any better? If they failed so miserably with the responsibilities they’ve already taken why give them more responsibilities over more people’s health care?

Paul Ryan of Wisconsin has a great plan for affordable healthcare!

Are you just repeating the phrase of the day? Affordable health care is what the town hall meetings are about. We all agree that Insurance Companies need to be reformed and that we do not want Government run health care.
The 47 million Americans that don’t have health care either cannot afford it or don’t want it, or are here illegally. Maybe you should attend a town hall meeting and keep up with the issues.

I agree. I currently pay $10,800 a year for my family’s health care, and I think that’s an outrageous amount to be paying. Instead of "free" health care that they want to tax the "rich" for – why not just regulate what insurance companies can charge?
