re: #329 Nadnerb

I’m sorry I didn’t get your sarcasm. I don’t think there’s anything at all wrong with saying NO to this as currently formulated. Reform is a good idea, especially if it helps people obtain quality, affordable care, without growing and expanding the federal government. I’m completely opposed to what’s happening now, especially the speed at which this is occurring. I also don’t know how this is suddenly the most important issue in domestic politics when most people are quite happy with the health care they receive.

If you like what’s being proposed, what’s the reason for your support?

You say as this is currently formulated, and that may be right, I am honestly not sure; but what I am sure of is that Republican didn’t do anything about it when the could have and now are just saying NO. I am simply tired of it.

As to most people being happy with health care they receive, I’m not sure if you phrased that poorly or mean what you say. Most people are probably happy with the care, it’s the availability and affordability that is a problem to most who are neither very wealthy nor working for a large corporation, or the government. My, luckily, limited experience so far is that the system makes every effort to rip off the customers, and gets away with it most of the time.

As to my support at present, I’m a cynic except to the extent that I’m an optimist regarding almost any effort too change this stranglehold that for profit corporations have over health care.
