Please, please, please people!  DO NOT FORWARD bogus emails with statements like: there’s going to be a death committee that will choose whether you get health care or not, etc.

Whether you’re a Democrat or a Republican, do you honestly believe that our President wants to do that?  Yes, there are all kinds of issues that need to be worked out; this is not the first time that healthcare has been brought to the fore front; it will not be “figured” out in a day, week or month; just let the powers that be have the time to carefully think things through and then when it’s presented in a complete form, that’s the time to make your decision.

This should be listed as a favorite site for everyone:  www.whitehouse.gov     By going here, you can see what is being discussed or being thought about;  there’s even a “contact us” button.  The White House now has computer saavy people, which means emails are being read and forwarded on to higher ups when they are logical.

I don’t know about the rest of you but my insurance now tells me which Drs. I can see; they (the insurance) also deem what procedures are necessary; but most of all, they (the insurance) also think they can dictate which drugs I can take.  Bet this will shock you all: they think over the counter meds work for everything – cha ching – more money in their pocket.  All this while never having seen me!  And I have what I consider “good insurance”.

I just don’t understand how you can be anti something that has not been offered yet.  Call me silly, but I do believe other insurance companies will have to lower their costs, etc. if a government run insurance is available; those that want to stay in business will have to do this to compete.  Isn’t that what we’re based on – being able to make a choice.

I am not a loyal Wal-Mart shopper but I would be very upset if that was the only place I could shop!

We are a nation of educated people….let’s act like it.  And if you’re not educated, that’s your choice….isn’t it amazing how “choice” always seems to pop up. 

People in jail/prison – they made a choice and now they are paying for it – oops, we’re paying for it with our tax dollars; look at the medical/dental care they get….
