Americans do not want this. It's being forced on us. This is why people are reacting negatively to it. They do not want some bureaucrat deciding what is good for them, or what proceedure they can and cannot have.

Besides, elderly people will not get needed care, because the government will not pay for those near the end of life. This is a fact. We need only look at what is happening in other countries. It is a natural consequence of a government run system. If the government is paying the bill (the taxpayers are really paying it), the care will be rationed. I don't care what Obama says. He's a liar.
What do you think United Health Care, CIGNA and other Healthcare Groups do? You wouln't think they would deny coverage for say a pre-conditon would ya? I think I would be much happier with a little competion in the health care sector. Quit spreading fear would ya, it's not healthy for ya.

Yes it does, doesn't it? And to think this jerk has been in office barely six months. I hate to think what we'll see in the next six, let alone the next three years. 2010 cannot get here soon enough. I only hope there will be sufficient numbers of candidates running to replace the lot of them.
