Washington (CNN) - A majority of Americans have a dim view of the
sweeping health care bill passed by the House, saying it gives
Washington too much clout and won't do much to reduce their own health
care costs or federal deficits, according to a new poll released Monday.

That means the bill is very good. The way politics work is that "Nobody
won".


Look it up!


This bill will help my family considerably. *My %^$%#^%$ insurance
company already has been raising my rates constantly, and trying to
give us the runaround. *This thing, as odd as it is, will make a
difference in several important salient health-related details, cost
not being a big deal among them.

You can fire them, up until Obama signs it into law. *Then you are
forced to have insurance or accept government health care.


Too bad, you're forced by Obama to pay someone you hate.


Right now, I have no choice *anyway* - if I don't pay installments to
some bloodsucking insurer, I run the risk of my family - both of whom
have highly treatable preexisting conditions - dying needlessly. *If
Obama and I really had our way, the government-run single payer option
- used VERY successfully by numerous more civilized nations around the
world - would obviate the need to pay any private for-profit company
whose sole goal is to milk me out of money and support me as little as
possible in my time of need.


I don't especially care if you like the government option or not - the
proof is in the pudding, and the substantial majority of people I have
spoken with from those nations have good cause to believe that their
systems work well. *Many cannot believe the barbaric system we are
still stuck with here in the States.

Hey Bruce, sorry to hear about your situation, that has got to suck.
Hope it works out perfectly for you.- Hide quoted text -

Thanks - Well, it's not quite so bad - my wife and son both have
asthma, which for some is a mild annoaynce, but for others can become
life-threatening - but it's under control, as along as the insurance
company we use does not decide to pull the plug. We are lucky - we
can afford it. I feel horribly bad for those who must live without
treatment for this common, treatable but potentially deadly affliction.
