• It will require all of us who chose not to have insurance, to get insurance. So more money will go into the system and the insurance companies will get more and the people who will work the program will get more. The doctors will not get more.
  
  Part of the proposal is supposed to be a national health option for people who either ;can not afford the insurance premiums their company contracted for with the insurance companies; is a self employed person who can not afford insurance otherwise; people who can not get insurance; or people who would just rather have that option. It is my hope that this option will be used to segue into national health care down the road, but the pessimist in me believes this will be the first part of the proposal that gets cut.

• I hope that all can benefit as we do here. I know much has been made of our NHS but the criticisms made as propaganda by skeptics there is certainly not the opinion of the majority here. We love what the NHS stands for.

• I hope one day we can have such a program. The bill that is passing now isn't it, but it is a beginning.
