Obama is definitely one of the worst presidents we have ever had and he's only been in office a few months. I can't wait for the next election. There is no way I'm going to accept the consequences of a united health reform. Those would be either 1) the country goes another trillion in debt (like Obama really needs to put us more in debt than we already are), or 2) I have to pay 10k a year more in taxes for other people to get health care. Sure I may eventually have need for health care other than simple doctor visits, but on the other hand I likely won't. I've been on this earth 20 years and have only had one surgical procedure which was still covered by my parents insurance and was a very minor surgery. I'd rather spend 2-3k a year on my own policy, thank you. |
The question was why is he supporting the policy...something thats been asked several times before and he probably has an obivous answer: He either likes the plan or supports wut the president is doing.This is a question that's not useful to the issue. She had noting important to say.She just wanted to throw her crazy to the public.
And when u break ur leg or have to have major surgery in ur future ( everyone does eventually) and wonder how you're gonna pay for it please dont come saying well if we had united healthcare.
I for one am against, but wut u said is not the right reason. Becuase if you were poor on the street against ur will because this ecomony is fucked up ur be singing a different tune. Yes, I think this thing sucks if we dont have a public option, but does that make him the worst president...no. He's actually tries to fix the mess a past president has made. So what do you want him to do : focus on fixing our economy ( and yes that includes our already fucked up healthcare system ) or continue spending money on this war we're having with the Taliban?

If you are referring to Bush, Bush is not responsible for our poor economy. The large corporations are. And Obama is not fixing anything by indepting our country more and more billions every day to offer all these tax breaks and stimulus incentives. All he is doing is digging our country into further depression by relying on a government for aid which it cannot afford to constantly give.
Oh and if/when I do need major surgery (I have broken my leg before, but just a cast was needed), it will be covered by my much cheaper 2-3k a year health insurance policy.
@bigdom
Your uncle must be at the retirement age or very poor if he is on Medicaid. 4k is nothing compared to big surgeries that everyone would be getting for free from this point on. 4k is cheaper than the tax increase the average household income would expect a year from this new health reform. I'm not republican. I'm 100% independent. Both parties are flawed.
I just fail to see how making health care free for everyone will help our economy. What happens to all those health insurance companies and employees when they are no longer needed? More economic downturn.
