Do you support Obama's Health Care Reform

[idahogie]

I voted "Yes" for what I know about it. If it doesn't have a public option, then it's a failure.

[ryanst530]

No.

We're in for one hell of a bumpy ride if this thing actually transpires

[nat_at772]

I voted Not Sure because even though what I've seen seems to look like a positive thing I know there's got to be more to it than that.

Estimates say it will cost about a trillon. $1,000,000,000,000 This cost is on top of everything else Obama is spending on...

I pity America's young voters. They will pay off Obama plans for decades even after he leaves office.

And this has what to do with Barry's health care reform?

The difference between the two is that after paying off our health care reform, we'll have a better health care system that will cost less.

After paying off Bush's War, we'll have nothing but a bunch of full caskets.

What a deal.

There is an e-mail going around that claims that the health care proposals would be "Senior Death Warrants"

Snopes checked it out and labeled it partly true and partly false: snopes.com: Senior Death Warrants

Among the points:
* The e-mail does not properly present the scenario of Natasha Richardson's death. While that particular part of Quebec where the Richardson incident occurred did not have medevac, this is not true for all of Canada. (Keep in mind that health care is on a province or territory basis, so each province or territory has its own system)
* What is in development will be a uniquely American system and not something exactly like another country's system or set of systems (i.e. Canada, UK).
* Elderly patients in England are not treated any differently than younger patients
