I AM fierce in not wanting to pay for someone else's health care. I don't mind paying for my own. I don't mind paying for those that are unable to work, because of circumstances beyond their control - to a certain extent. But I DO mind paying for people that just think the government should spoon feed them, cradle to grave. Who do you think pays for that?

That's not greed or selfishness - it's reality. If you work hard, you reap the rewards. If you don't, you go without. Health care is a privilege, not a right.

And please explain the hypocrisy? Kind of like politicians wanting to shove the plan on the American citizens, but won't use it themselves?

Who are the people you say are spoon fed. Is it the person who works for a small company who has no health care and has to pay the $10,000's a year for insurance while making $30,000 a year. Because if that is who you are including then we should raise their pay to afford insurance. Which of course will mean you will be paying more for your hair to get done, the day care that watches your children, your plumber your electrician, your appliance repairman Not everyone has health care where they work. Not everyone is making a large enough sum of money to be able to afford health care even when they want it. Are their jobs not important?

Are the spoon fed those who are born with an illness and when they come off their parents policy they find that the rest of there years they will not be able to get insurance. They end up using the emergency room and once again you pay.

Everyone of you so defensive of what is yours is yours... one day your child may say to you I want to be a carpenter, or an inventor or entrepeneur you make sure you tell them no ... because it doesn't provide health care and by that time there is going to be no way an individual is going to be able to pay for it on their own.

Everyone of you so defensive of what is yours is yours may just find in that little bit of time between college graduation and their first job your kid will need insurance don't let them have a pre-existing condition because they aren't going to be able to find it on their own.

You think just because you are good for right now you are going to be good forever. Life doesn't happen like that tomorrow your life can turn upside down and you may be wishing something was done about health insurance....or it could happen to someone you love.

Yet those same people don't approve of the public option.... that's how it goes, get over it.
