No one here is saying that the health care system isn't in need of serious change, BUT, a Public Option isn't the answer. Increased portability, tort reform(caps so doctors don't have to do 60 tests to cover their butts)AND the biggest thing that could be done is making all health insurance carriers hold a standard so they can sell insurance in all states. When I left Texas and moved back to Nevada, I had great insurance with a good company. I couldn't keep it when I moved. Although the company I worked for subsidized my premium (minimally)I had to go out and search for a new company! I was without insurance for 4 months just because it wasn't like my car insurance and I didn't own it! Now where I work, they own the policy and I'm covered under it. If I leave, I have to find new coverage! Do you see how making this similar to other insurance coverage would make it a very competetive market where price would go down and coverage would go up to compete? I am a veteran and I can tell you that anything the government has its hand in,IS NEVER BETTER and is run by beauracracy who has your tax money to spend and doesn't have to compete to remain viable. THAT's why so many are against the government getting their hands even more into our healthcare! (Medicare, Medicaid, VA, etc)I want us all to be able to shop for our health insurance and own the policy, period! Then, you can choose what type coverage, deductibles, etc that you want and not have it dictated by the government. Those of us that don't support this bill DO SUPPORT change in the healthcare system. Just change that makes sense!

You really don't have a clue, do you?

Keep on arguing about Democrat vs. Republican. They've got you right where they want you.

Teddy fought passionatly for 45 yrs. for Americans who had less and needed more. The poor people in this country are Kings compared to places Brazil and Mexico, thanks to Sen. Kennedy and his ilk. God Bless you Teddy and I know you're smiling down from heaven and dancing with the Lord right now. God Bless the Democrat Party. The true party of the working man.
The Republicants prove again, if you don't look like us and think like us (White, Rich, Conservative, Anglo Saxon, Protestant)you don't matter and we don't care about you!

Born in the USA wrote on November 08, 2009 01:24 AM: Hey, I don't have health insurance, with little hope of getting any anytime real soon. I barely have a job thanks to the Bush/Cheney train wreck they called their 'Administration'. Why can't the most advanced country in the world provide for their citizens basic needs. I'm healthy now, so far, but who knows about tomorrow. I can't afford to be or get sick. I used to make $16 an hr. I got laid off, I found something, so I wouldn't have to suck the dole. I probably would make the same on unemployment, but I'm not one to sit around and rape the government if I can work. I need affordable health insurance, get it, I HAVE NOTHING! I make $8 an hr. My employer does not offer insurance. Most of the negative comments here are probably from those of you who've been unaffected by this recession, and still have the same health coverage you've always had, or you're rich and don't need insurance. I'm not some welfare schlub who thinks the government owes me something, but affordable health insurance should be a right for every US citizen, even if you don't have a good job with GREAT insurance.

Excuse me are not both these programs broke and an example of government run programs, we all need our heads examined.

What about his pee-peeing away millions of my tax dollars on the rail system only to change his mind and flush it all down the toilet?

Ensign? He's in the same class as Dingy Harry, they are both carpetbaggers.

Are you a social worker? Can you whistle Dixie and Yankee Doodle at the same time?

LV Pol Girl wrote on November 08, 2009 12:13 AM: Actually, we have one corrupt Senator and that is John Ensign who should do us all a favor and resign. Senator Reid has a long history of fighting crime and corruption in this state. He is an ethical leader in the U.S. Senate who has one flaw, which is protecting the ethically challenged Ensign. The GOP have nothing on him except to make sick jokes about what this man and his family had to endure in fighting crime and corruption.

Proud to call Harry Reid my Senator.

Listen to you liberals. Women's rights, huh? Crushing baby's skulls? Helping the poor? The Clark County Social Services don't help the poor, neither does UMC. Nor will they ever. Get rich off the poor maybe, but the evils are self-serving demons.

We will just get more of the same big government workers with big pay and benefits.

Just wait a couple more years and China will be your voice.

In Satan we trust, don't we?

God help us all.

Can you honestly say with a straight face that Harry Reid shouldn't be in prison for the crimes he has committed?

UNF******BELIEVABLE.
