" No Richard I am just irritated at the two facedness of my party that can go around and pat themselves on their backs and congratulate themselves for such splendid job they did whille still leaving millions upon millions without insurance. Seems awfully "Republican" of the Democratic party is all. If Facto had a heart she would be up in arms touting her extremely biased study stating 45000 are dying every year because of a lack of insurance and this is just unacceptable. "

" Are there two people named Russ in this conversation? One is arguing against making health insurance more available and the other is arguing that it will not be available to enough of the uninsured. I don't see the logic. "

" RE: Russ. Way to go Russ. Those who are those who are arrested in their developement resort to name calling.

" Rasco thanks for coming out of the closet against the millions upon millions that will be left without insurance after this is passed. Good job Rasco! Propagandist... "

" Irene: bravo to you for your very fine letter to the editor. You can hold your head high in the face of all the negativity from the locals. By their fruits we shall know them.

Those who lven in the closet live in the darkness. Let the light shine.

Keep up the good work time will show what is right. "

" This isnt about healthcare but its about taking both food booths at the fair and making one church have to set up outside the fair grounds. There is no perferring others here and definatley no care for others in this case. The sad thing is it is a church that im sure made buckets of money. Business men should be business men and leave pastoring to pastors. "

" Obama has the gullible believing we will soon be living in Paradise if everyone will just give him what he wants. WRONG! He has no intentions of stopping the war in Afghanistan and Iraq, no intentions of stopping the trillions of $ being spent there and on bailouts that are not necessary. Bring the troop home? Hah! the fool is sending MORE to Afghanistan and now has more American men and women over there then Bush ever sent. What about the infrastructure of the USA? It crumbling, cont'd "




Shaesca wrote on Oct 14, 2009 10:02 AM:

" and women and tell then what a lousy job they are doing in taking care of things on the home front. Health care reform will only put our country deeper in debt. Does that make sense to you? Spending money we do not have is bad financial planning and will only bring us down. "




Shaesca wrote on Oct 14, 2009 9:58 AM:

" Our highways and bridges, plus the electrical grid that let's you enjoy power is old and overloaded. Yet, Obama wants to spend trillions on the infrastructure of countries that do not want change. Take off your blinders and open your eyes. Have you not heard that, "Charity starts at home?" Take care of yours first, then you are fully able to take care of others in need. I think Mr. Obama and other politicians have never heard of that concept. I fully believe we should all write our congressmen and cont'd "




Russ wrote on Oct 14, 2009 9:43 AM:

" Sorry Richard I believe as a country that we have bigger problems that need to be addressed first right now. I just get twerked at the hyprocrisy that you and others of your ilk show when you tout the bills that still leave millions and in some cases 10's of millions without health insurance. Irene and you spout propaganda without presenting all sides of the picture. "We Care?" Ha! Hyprocrisy in action. I don't have insurance, nor will I get it until I am on my way to a hospital after 2013. "

" To R. Hufford...Actually I have a great ins. plan that gives me full coverage at low monthly rates. If health reform is passed, the company I work for will no longer be able to afford to offer this plan because they will be required to drop the ins. company they currently work with. Then I will be required to pay a deductible, copay and higher monthly fee. More freedom? Not hardly. "




Richard Hufford wrote on Oct 14, 2009 7:05 AM:

" Russ, you're for full coverage now? Maybe after health care reform is passed or not passed, you and I can work together to get the rest of the country covered. "

" There's a reason Obama didn't get the Nobel for economics. Not even his "vision" of health care could come up with all the money that is going to be needed to pay for this boondoggle. "

" How easly we forget that someone has to pay. Even if the number drops to 16 million from say 40 million we still have to pay.Even the right direction can be painful. And pay we will. Make no mistake we will pay for all thnis and soon!
The rules are pretty much the same for all. Any one of us could loose everything overnight from illness Insuarance or not. Get a clue folks. Insurance doesn't cover every single thing folks. Get your heads out of the hole and look around. "

" You pay for it by putting an end to foreign aid...i.e., Iraq and Afghanistan. Stop spending our tax money abroad. "

" Of course its correct. Read the CBO analysis of the various bills. Tell the millions that are still going to be uninsured that we care. "




Richard Hufford wrote on Oct 12, 2009 3:36 PM:

" Is the 6% figure correct? If so, we're talking about 18 million people as opposed to the 46 million who are not insured today. Definitely a step in the right direction. Frankly, it will be interesting to see how many are covered once the final bill is written. "




Russ wrote on Oct 12, 2009 1:55 PM:

" Richard pick a plan. Any plan. Go ahead. Then take say 6 percent of the population and guess what you have? Millions and millions that still won't have insurance after any plan you pick is potentially passed. Sure sucks to be one of the unlucky ones eh? "

" Sounds like manna from heaven. There's only one slight problem that keeps getting in the way of Obama Care: How's all this wonderful universal
health care treatment going to be paid for?

I know, such negative vibes. We'll worry about paying for it when the bill comes due. That's what they invented grandkids for! "

" I almost wept while reading this letter. What a powerfull picture you have painted. But then reality set in and I remembered that I work for a living and I have to pay for what I have. The only people that should get free anything in this country is the veterans. And in regards to your question, no I dont. "




digger wrote on Oct 12, 2009 11:34 AM:

" One who would support socialized and "free" health care to everyone should visit an emergency room in Phoenix and see what is in store for us. Remember, it is agaist the law for emergency room physicians to deny treatment for anyone. The waiting rooms are packed with illegals who continually use the ER for minor healthcare. No I am not against charity, but I am opposed and will fight agaist the government telling me what my contribution will be. Reform is needed, not handouts. Start with more insurance competition and tort reform. "




digger wrote on Oct 12, 2009 11:29 AM:

" Anyone who thinks that the Canadian and European form of healthcare works has evidentally not done their homework. I recently asked a Canadian friend of mine what he thought of the US healthcare system becoming socialized. His response? "The Canadians are scared that we will succeed and they will have NOWHERE to go to recieve quick and good health care! That's right, so if the Canadians who have "free" health care are not wanting this for the US, that scares the crap out of me. "




HDE wrote on Oct 12, 2009 11:07 AM:

" Make healthcare free like it is in Canada and Europe. Then there will be no debate or concern over who gets it, who can afford it or who should pay for it. It works for those countries why can't it ours. Watch that movie Sicko by Michael Moore. You'll learn a lot. "




Russ wrote on Oct 12, 2009 8:00 AM:

" Unfortunately the major versions being considered before the US Congress don't cover everybody. They are denying coverage to millions and in the case of the Baucus version about 25 million uninsured Americans. If you are going to do this make it universal for all citizens and extend coverage to all who want it. "




Kelli wrote on Oct 12, 2009 4:24 AM:

" Give me a break. Why should my family have to pay an extra $1,700.00 a year for health care so that another can get it for free. Yes, there needs to be an overhaul so that the "tens of millions" of Americans can be insured, but not at the expense of the working American. More handouts is not the answer. "
