This is good for America. We need to stem the tide of free spending in this country that spun out of control under bush and has been taken to a even higher level under Obama

Better ways to achieve reform than the "public option"

Reform does not mean public option. Most Americans do NOT want the public option and don't quote some random poll taken at a crackhouse in Reading either to try and show otherwise

Does anyone know if the current bill would require everyone to buy insurance from the private insurance companies. How can anyone go along with that? Rewarding the same people that got us into this mess.

A better way of handling the cost of health care is to nationalize the insurance system and eliminate the wasteful private system profits extorted from the citizens by the health insurance companies. Then the government could start limiting big pharma’s abuse of the parent system and their excess profits. We need a Universal Health Care system not just insurance reform.

Where would the money come from to pay for a nationalized healthcare system?

How would we pay for it?

We are broke now!

They'll probably sign up AIG as their Insurance "distributor".
Nothing like giving your friends a bona fide cash cow.

Recall..anyone making 250,000.01 and up will get taxed.
The rich are going to pay for this.

Pelosi also said there's $500 billion in fraud and waste in medicaid/medicare and she's gonna take that and put it towards the healthcare bill.

See, nothing to worry about. It's all taken care of.
It's the government. Trust them.

That is called the nuclkear option which would be what the republicans want.Ii really doubt that they will do this which is why the option was voted down in committee.As time goes on there is less and less support for the public option. Check the latest polls.Obama certainly does want to go to the nuclkear option just as bush didn't. If they can't get it thru their party that has 60 voytes its very unlikel;y really.
