If there is no profit to be made in Medical and Drug reseach, there will be no Medical and Drug research.

If we send all Illegals out of our Nation, we will find ourselves in no need of Obama Care.

We don't need more government control. They are all corrupt to the core! Health insurance will double under the government control. I can't afford it!

So please give your money to a company that makes money from keeping us safe and in good care the U.S government as they are charted to do so, if not make it so. I do.

Bureaucrats and politicians HAVE NEVER SOLVED A PROBLEM – THEIR ONLY TRACK-RECORD IS TO INCREASE COSTS & REDUCE SERVICE.

The current administration and its Democrat majority in Congress have repeated over and over that there should be no fear of rationing under the proposed government run national health care plan. This would be laughable if it weren't so serious. Of course there will be rationing, but those covered under the federal employees health care plans (the president, all those in both houses of Congress and all other federal employees) will not be affected, so they don't worry about this.

Those in Congress who promote national health care point to the success of Medicare. Yet every year after Medicare was first made effective, the government has increased the deductibles and limited the amounts it pays to doctors and hospitals. Leaving greater and greater amounts to be paid by those on Medicare. It is this annual reduction in Medicare benefits by the government that forces those on Medicare to purchase Medicare Supplement plans, which have to pick up those amounts Medicare no longer pays. This in turn forces the insurance companies that sell Medicare Supplement coverage (including AARP) to increase the rates of Medicare Supplement coverage annually.

With this history of annual Medicare deductible increases (benefit reductions) what makes anyone think that the government won't do exactly the same thing once it controls all of health care.

Every year, more and more doctors refuse to take on Medicare patients because Medicare pays doctors only about 70% of their usual and customary charges that doctors charge. Insurance companies pay doctors 100% of usual and customary physician's charges. When the government takes over all of health care what is to stop them from using the same reduced payment schedule for doctor's charges that they now use for Medicare?

Every year for the past fifty years, both state and federal governments have passed health insurance laws and regulations that require the benefits of group health plans be increased and that eligibility for coverage under those plans be expanded and broadened. Of course those covered under these plans may believe that such expansions of coverage and eligibility are fair and necessary. However, many do not believe that there should be any increase in cost associated with these increased benefits and eligibility.

When coverage and/or the eligibility for that coverage is increased and broadened, of necessity, more claims will be paid out either by those insurance plans, whether they be fully insured or self insured by employers or unions. The more the claims paid, the higher the premiums must be to support those additional claims.

The politicians so willing to curry public favor by demanding health insurance plans continually increase benefits and eligibility are typically the same ones who are so quick to point the finger of guilt at "the greedy insurance companies" for increasing premiums to cover theses expansions.

It will be interesting to see who these politicians will blame when they have put all of the private health insurance companies out of business. When there are no more hea;lth insurance companies left to sell Medicare supplement coverage, where will those on Medicare turn to fill in all the gaps in coverage and those deductibles that Medicare keeps raising?

It will also be interesting to see how much the government will expand coverage and the amounts payable to doctors when it is the only one providing such coverage.

It will also be interesting to see where all the phony concern and crocodile tears on the part of Obama, Harry Reid and Pelosi will be when you and your loved ones, who may contract breast cancer, that they will need to wait 6 to 9 months for their turn to get a CT scan, or a PET scan, or radiation therapy, or that since they are so old, they really ought to consider taking pain pills in stead of treatment.

Yes, this situation does occur presently among those who, due to choice or chance, do not have health coverage. But, do we scrap a system that currently serves the needs of 90% of our population because the needs of 10% aren't being met? Illegal aliens need to go back to their own countries and petition their own governments for health care. Those who choose not to buy insurance should be left to their own fate. For those who are legal U.S. citizens who are truly indigent, there is Medicaid. For the working poor, who cannot afford health insurance, a government health insurance program could be established exclusively for them, in a manner that Medicaid was established for the truly indigent.
