I do not support the plan. I don't think we should be paying for health care for illegal aliens. If you boot the illegals from the system and expand the coverage with options for the unbinsured and keep the private healthcare in place we will have a far better Healthcare system than any other country in the world and everyone who is a legal citizen would be covered. Visitors who are here legally would also be covered.

You need a more strongly worded choice, like Hell no for me to really vote.

I'm not sure. The healthcare proposal is still a work in progress, and I haven't read the entire thing, nor the variations and proposed changes. I think there will be more changes on the rough draft when Congress returns to session, so I'm reserving judgment right now. But I do think that we have to have some kind of healthcare reform, and soon.

So nice to see a calm, reasoned answer.

I voted "yes" because I believe the health care system we have now is very broken, and that H.R. 3200 (the bill most people are talking about, and the bill that has made the most progress getting through Congress) is a huge step forward.

Yes but not for illegals. Only LEGAL citizens and even legal visitors. But never illegal immigrants.

Not sure where you got the bolded sentence.

A huge step forward toward what? All I see is socialized medicine or as Obama calls it single payer universal health insurance. Either way it isn't going to be accepted by the people of this nation.

Why I saw a thing today that said that about the only ones who really accept what is being proposed are those under 30. Well, that does take in a number of the members of this forum, I guess.

It better than what we currently have, but still not what I want.

I'd be much more pleased if his health care reform plan was a plain and simple single-payer system that covers every single American citizen. It's time to cut the fat cat middlemen (private insurance) out of health care.
