That is one of the biggest problems with this bill as well as so many others. Many people want something but they are not willing to pay for it. They want someone else to pay for it. If they were willing to pay for it, then the gov't wouldn't be needed, because the free market would provide it. Almost every new and old gov't program is predicated on the fact that some people want something, but are unwilling to pay for it themselves. They have to use the force of gov't to take money from someone else to pay for their pet project.

They decide who lives and who dies, who gets insurance and at what cost. They pay billions to block reform. Our health is too important to be solely in the hands of multi-billion dollar corporations that are accountable to no one. The Declaration of Independence states that we have a right to life. The outrageous costs of health care are an infringement on that basic right. If you trust the unaccountable CEO of an insurance company to have the final say on whether you live or die when that time comes, be my guest. I should have the right to choose an accountable government run option to decide what health care I get. We are the richest country in the world and we have one of the worst health care systems. It is time to change, the health of our citizens is too important. The insurance companies are the problem. They decide who lives and who dies, who gets insurance and at what cost.
