This health care bill is nothing but a disaster waiting to happen. Its supposed to help our country out of debt?? how, when it is a non profitable organization basically. Raising our taxes isn’t going to help people financially, and its putting private practices out of business. Yes health care is really important to have, but this is not the way to go about it. Adding 940 billion dollars to our countries 11.7 trillion dollar deficit is just insane! I personally don’t have insurance and even with this plan my family still cant get it. So what happens to families like mine?

Ron,

I was thinking of writing a nice long response to your comment. After thinking about it, I decided to just let it stand as is on its own merits. People can judge for themselves.

i bet u have health care. u just give a shit about yourself. let everyone die as long as its not u and yours.
my insurance went up after i retired, i paid 103 dollars a month
on the job. now since i retired it went from 350.00 a month to 907.45. i dont want it free but at least affordable. yea go ahead let the big health insurance companies fix the structure. they proved to me i have no choice but to pay. i will be like the other 50 million that dont have insurance. if u have a large pool the cheaper the cost. no one gets it.
republicans started this f-ing mess when bush cut taxes for all the rich, medicare d. 2 wars, 1 was a lie, no regulation on nothing.
i could go on on on. conservatives my ass. u guys are full of it u guys havent paid for anything since stealing the election.
party of no hell no unless its for big companies.
where did the jobs go ? let im all go to the communist 8-million.
take away social security, medicare, welfare, see what happens to your base. keep watching fox, palin, glen beck listen to rush oxicontin limbaugh. bunch of lying hipocrits.
8 years of crap. no raises milk 4.00 gal more than gas.
i hope the americans dont forget what happend from 2001 2008 and get out and vote. so we can at least keep going forward.

tired of all the bull shit lies. bush chaney set us back 50 years.

thanks for the forum

Webster,

Those examples you provided are all areas where government competition has proven a failure, not a success. It costs more per student to educate a student in the public sector than it costs per student to educate in the private sector. Look at Catholic schools.

The postal service is going broke because they cannot compete on par with private shippers like UPS and Fedex. Plus they can’t even come close to delivering the same quality of service.

Have you ever seen a UPS man at work? They hustle and get paid well for doing it. I don’t know about you but I have never seen my mailman jog anywhere.

Trash collection is cheaper when outsourced to private companies which is why you see so many cities do it. The ones who do not are primarily union controlled Democrat administrations. Get the picture.

Ambulance services are also cheaper outsourced. I have no idea where you are getting your information from. We just went through a big fight over this where I am from. Private sector ambulance is way less costly.

Universites operate on a combination of public and private funding. They are not examples of public vs. private. IF you are talking about high end private universities then you are not comparing apples to apples.

The simple truth is that the private sector is more efficient, hands down, no comparison.

The House bill involves cutting 500 billion from a giant goverment entitlement program. It appears we CAN cut these programs. Still trying to figure out shy republicans are against a cut in medicare.

We have had publicly funded universities for hundreds of years and they seem OK. You probably went to one. Post office vs UPS compete with parcel services. That seems OK. Public/private competition also exists in trash collection, ambulance services, high school education, airplane parts manufacturing, defense contracting and hundreds of other industries. Often works great.

We are cut welfare in the 90′s. We’re looking at cutting medicare now. Public programs contract all the time.

Futhermore, Fox News and the CBO have reported that the Republican bill would only insure 3 million people.
