NOTHING!!! Yep. Us Canadians and our universal healthcare have nothing on you guys. I wonder how many hundreds it would have cost me down there...?

Always have, always will. I've worked hard my whole life and have never taken anyone's charity, and I'm not about to start now, no matter what. I'm telling you, there's no way I'm going to sit back and let some president of the United States try to devise a structure to help me pay for the dialysis treatment I so desperately need to survive. Not over my dead body. Just who does this occupant of the highest office in the land think he is, anyway? Some of them act like the whole world owes them something. For example, important government subsidies on my dialysis. You know, I don't recall asking for some commander in chief to embrace protections that would prohibit insurance companies from dropping my coverage on a whim and operating as if my continued existence on earth were nothing more than a strategic liability. Plus, if I go along with this progressive health-benefits scheme, he'll probably hold it over my head every time I receive vital care with the aid of the government to which I already pay taxes. Sorry. I've got too much self-respect for that. Obama needs to know that there's still one American willing to watch his body drown in its own deadly internal toxins rather than have long-overdue reform crammed down his throat. Fact is, nobody wants some too-big-for-his-britches president butting in to suggest that everyone, including me, needs to be treated with dignity. Yet this Obama thinks he can just waltz in and and tinker with a health care system that destroys people like myself every single day. Seriously, when Obama's done drumming up support for legislation that might allow me to see my daughter graduate from college and prevent me from dying before my 50th birthday, what's next on the agenda? Will he try to keep my life's savings from evaporating in a stock market that operates free of serious governmental oversight? Is there any aspect of capitalism run amok that this guy won't tamper with? Really, Obama, thanks but no thanks. The last person I need help from is some leader of the federal government in a position to perhaps improve my quality of life. The worst part is that I'll have to put up with this guy being president for at least three more years. I guess all I can do is try to hold out for the 2012 election. Maybe then we'll get a Republican president back in office. Maybe he'll have the common decency to let me suffer in peace. I take pride in who I am. Always have, always will.

What kills me lately is that a 300 million bribe for a vote is ok, but let Pfizer make a buck the honest way and they are corrupt ones. Great article and video.

As will, healthcare positions. Thousands of dollars incurred in EDUCATIONAL COSTS to even get a license to practice, does NOT BODE WELL for the WAGE CUTS or containment. People say there should be NO PROFIT in healthcare-but then want "healthcare 24/7." Medical professionals DON'T OWE YOU 24/7 healthcare-including holidays&weekends which some people flat out refuse to do. If you take the "free market equation and the incentive" to work in this profession, you will have a shortage! Even if someone takes a position that they don't care to do, out of desperation, YOU WILL END UP WITH SUBSTANDARD CARE! Seems to me, they tried "screwing mechanics" as well. It didn't work very well-did it! THESE HUMANS/PEOPLE that work in these professions need money to live on and have families to support. FLORENCE NIGHTENGALE is dead! For those of you who don't know who she was-she donated her time for free to work taking care of ill people. It would be nice to work for FREE-but that don't PAY the rent/mortgage!

Part of the reason our costs are so high is because other countries like Canada regulate their costs forcing the drug companies to raise prices here!You are supporting the rest of the world whenit comes to drugs and inovations in the drug industry! If you force the drug companies to charge less where will the new drugs come from when you need them because the bugs have gotten iminue to the old ones? Wake Up Stupid! Read a bok on ecomonics and read about the world and how they are dong all they can to steal our wealth because they are too stupid to compete!
