This relates to my ATTEMPT to understand:

The document is 1,018 pages. How can anyone be expected to support a document that can not be read by anyone except a politician?
My biggest question is "will non legal" aliens be allowed coverage?

From comments at a town hall meeting,"
A couple of senior citizens were concerned that the government that tax dollars could be used to aid, help and support illegal aliens, but not enough to help seniors with health care. One lady said that she failed to understand how our tax dollars can be used for illegal aliens, and not for American citizens who worked her life, and couldn't get help. "

What is your position on this VERY EXPENSIVE issue and why is it almost impossible to read coverage on all of the real issue related to health care reform?

I support heath care reform, but in the present form find it almost impossible to "vote" for or against with any degree of intelligence!

Reject this bill! It is a Federal Mandate for abortion in every state, using everyone's tax dollars. It is also the introduction of euthanasia in the United States. As soon as someone needs to use Medicare, they will be required to receive counseling on different ways to end their own life, for the good of society, by refusing hydration, medication, etc. YOU BET I'M NERVOUS!! This so-called "Health Care Reform" bill is an atrocity!

I am disappointed in CR Prescription for Change's endorsement of some of the features of what has become HR 3200. (Keep your insurance if you like it, offer a public option, create a new bureaucracy called the Health Insurance exchange and removes some of the more noxious features of how private insurance toss out high risk beneficiaries). Competition alone will not cure the ills of private insurance. They have had since 1980 to bring down costs and haven't. HR 2300 has gutted the public option of any opportunity to compete effectively. Limited to markets where there are only 1 or 2 private insurers, the public option can never garner sizeable pool of both health and sick beneficiaries, so it cannot compete on price. True regulation would adopt the measures that Germany and Switzerland have done. Insurance companies cannot be for profit. That and universal coverage provides the pool and conditions for lowering costs, while achieving superior results in health outcomes. I don't want my taxes supporting private premiums for low income earners who may not have a public choice. This is a windfall for companies which are already posting record profits.
As to the commenter who worries about abortions and euthanasia under proposed legislation, she should take the time to read it.
