I see government intervention in health care as just another way of depriving us of our rights. While I stand by my conviction that health care should be affordable for all, I do not see a need for the government to take it over.

nope....honestly...look at it this way....America is the richest country in the world and should take care of all of it people. uninsured totals 50 + million....fortunately i have healthcare and i personally cannot believe how people live w/o it. i think it's a wonderful thing b/c the health of americans is deteriorating as a whole. a baby born in a 3rd world country has a higher life expectancy than a baby born in detroit

i've waited for 50 years to see insurance companies and health care giants act like capitalists and lower the prices and improve the quality. they've choosen to form an oligopoly that fixes prices and payments with immunity from suits for having violated antitrust laws. government ought to nudge its way in to the market so that capitalism will be restored and our humanistic principles of quality, affordable care for all will be achieved.

Its far from a government take over, any one with half a brain can figure that one out

We all need healthcare. Very few of us get it. (I am not one of those who do, and need it.) People have no complaints when the government sticks their fingers in the car companies and all manner of other businesses, but on something that will actually do a lot of good for America, they wail like banshees. Well, screw you guys.

I wish government had taken it over years ago, but big money then talked and bullshit walked and it appears to keep happening. Europeans were in VERY bad shape after WWII and instituted public health care and have been MUCH better off for it ever since. To bad our cities hadn't been bombed too or we might have decided to fix the damned thing too. Instead we were deluded into thinking we were invulnerable to greed.

Who knows who to trust anymore. Everyone complains about Bush but everyone forget that EVERY politician lies. This election was no different. They are all the same. Do I see it as a takeover? I dont know. Noone will tell you if it is.

...I think its a good idea. Who cares??? We all need health care....and companies need better health care. ...who cares about the 1% or whatever who ACTUALLY LIKE their healthcare systems and dont wanna loose their doctors. THEY ARNT GOING TO... ...and if they wanna stay doing the same thing...THEY CAN. ...and NO they arnt paying for abortions. ...so, let the government do their thing, its not like its a choice anyways.

Government providing an alternative to the corrupt bureaucracy of the health "care" industry.
-
Yes I do and it is. If it was not why would he be pushing it so hard?
-
It is a take over, and i see nothing wrong with that. It is necessary to stop discriminating health care according to wealth. its necessary to bring affordable helthcare to all for the good of the nation. The problem is that the rich greedy bastards out their are showing their true lack of compassion for theor fellow man and are trying to make it look like a bad thing. Government ealth care is necessary for a helthy USA and for a truely equitable USA.

Reform hasn't happened within the privatized healthcare community in America, so it needs to happen from without. If that's a takeover, then so be it. If it means I don't have to pay $6,000 to get a wisdom tooth pulled just because I'm still trying to earn more than 20k a year to fit in an economical bracket the healthcare system doesn't mind catering to, then so be it. If it means my friend who suffers from severs seizures doesn't have to borrow 30 grand just to go to the emergency room, then so be it. Social services should be socialized, and commercial services should be commercialized. The health of the citizens of a country is a social issue, so it is a social service.
