The People's Email Network Last 25 Messages Transmitted Log Go Back The Health Care Bill Is A Total Fraud On The American People ********** [055236:031510] m.r., Levittown, PA This health care debacle being orchestrated by the big hype Obama is a nail in the coffin of America. This ONLY benefits insurance industry and politicians...It has NO cost controls on the industry ...This is why we must have PUBLIC option and/or buy in to the Medicare system!!!!!!!!! ********** [143108:031310] J.G., Chicago, IL A real public option insuring people at a competitive, reasonable rate with the excellent benefits received by members of congress, should be part of the health exchange. Along with this should be lowering the age of medicare to 55 years as part of the health exchange. Imported medicine should be legal - bringing down the exorbitant prices Americans now pay. The present Senate bill is a scam and scorns the cries for help that the sick, insured as well as uninsured have raised. Election day will tell the tale. Beware Obama! ********** [144019:031210] M.C., Chicago, IL In spite of the fact that a majority of the American public has consistently and vocally supported health care reform which includes single payer option, we continue to get worse and worse bills which completely ignore the will of the people. Why is that? ********** [102658:031210] J.M., Chicago, IL As a practicing hospital physician, I am beyond disappointed at the plan that has been proposed and labeled as health care reform. I see daily how the current insurance market creates hardship and suffering for people who are already in the mist of a serious illness. The mandate about buying insurance in the current market is terrible-do you really believe health care exchanges are going to magically supercede all of the obstacles and costs that insurance companies will throw into the mix? in case you didn't know, their entire duty is to their shareholders-keeping people more healthy with easy access to care is never going to be on their agenda. stop being delusional and saying that this will fix our crisis. a public option is still needed to provide real competition. if that doesn't happen, no one should be mandated to buy anything. ********** [102002:031210] L.C., Chicago, IL Listen we all know we are getting soaked. I don't care if Obama is ever reelected, WHY SHOULD I, he lies just like Bush did! He promised us a Public Option, period, end of story to keep competition in the system right!!! and now that we have the votes he won't give it to us, I can't stand him any longer!!!!!!!!!!! Change my Arse! ********** [225056:020310] F.M., Lincoln City, OR MEDICARE FOR ALL IS THE REFORM WE NEED: PASS IT BY RECONCILIATION and NUKE THE ANTI-CONSTITUTIONAL FILIBUSTER!!!!!! IF YOU DONT DO THIS YOU WILL LOSE YOUR MAJORITY AND YOU WILL HAVE LOST ONE OF YOUR BEST CHANCES TO SERVE YOUR CONSTITUENTS and BASE WHO HIRED YOU. INSURERS WILL BE ABLE TO PROFIT FROM SELLING SUPPLEMENTAL INSURANCE. SO JUST DO IT: ENOUGH OF BETRAYAL and BS!!! ********** [104047:013110] M.C., Spotsylvania, VA This health care bill is a total fraud on the american people. We voted you in and we can vote you back out. We the people say no to your so called health care reform. No, no, no. ********** [164309:012710] A.O., Alexandria, VA The only sane solution to America's skyrocketing health care cost crisis is universal single-payer NOW. Anything less is just a scam on the American public. I know: why not give Us the People the same great, taxpayer-funded health care that our Representatives, Senators, and Presidents get? ********** [140219:012610] K.B., King George, VA Please do what you can to not let this happen to the American people. What kind of country do you think this will end up as if we let this happen!? DO NOT PASS THIS BILL! If it's too late please do whatever you need to do to fix this and get rid of it! ********** [204340:012410] c.s., Danville, CA any health bill that does not include a public option, and TRUE competition to health insurance companies, is a tragic, shameful SELL OUT !!! period ********** [054332:011510] k.c., Phoenix, AZ American TAX PAYERS want their public servants to quit playing games and/ or allowing Corporate evil to dictate American's lives. the folks you took and oath to uphold their rights, liberties and freedoms are disgusted with the results! it seems that OUR "public servants" represent their Corporate bosses/bank accounts above their constituents. ********** [140444:011410] T.B., Milford, MA We are THE PEOPLE and OUR voice is becoming OBSOLETE! I beg you to reconsider this scary bill. NO bill should ever pass that has a 'Can not be changed" clause. If that doesn't scare YOU, well than I am mistaken. I thought WE THE PEOPLE, were supposed to have that freedom. Freedom to change. I believe this is NOT a change for the better! ********** [063211:011110] M.P., Portland, OR The bill now written is disingenuous and cruel. To be a real program with equal access to quality health care we must have the following: PUBLIC OPTION NATIONAL EXCHANGE WITH FEDERAL REGULATION EXPANSION OF MEDICAID UP TO 150%. THIS WOULD COST 30-40% LESS THAN USING PRIVATE INSURANCE. THANK YOU, MILLIE PRIEBE ********** [103900:010810] M.S., Cincinnati, OH The Health Care bill is unacceptable. We need to really reform the way lobbyist do business in Washington DC and reform the election contribution where we the people give the money to help representatives run. This kind of thing would no longer happen. Let get real reform Mr President cut off the lobbyist money. ********** [203737:010610] S.D., Seattle, WA You know, what REALLY annoys me, almost more than all your idiotic lies about health care "reform", is you obvious assumption that you're qualified to insult my intelligence with such transparent BULLS--T. No, you are not. And if your little PR charades are instead evidence of sheer authoritarian arrogance and a belief that you can just spit in all of our faces and get away with it, you're WRONG AGAIN. You're setting yourselves up for the worst street fight you ever heard of, worse than the Viet Nam riots. Don't believe me? Good. Don't get comfortable in that office, though. ********** [164935:010610] J.F., Ojai, CA Unfortunately, this is NOT what we were hoping for... nor what we have kept you in office to represent us for! ********** [163949:010610] G.W., Albuquerque, NM Let us have the right to chose Medicare if we want! I do not want to be forced to buy private insurance. ********** [141247:010610] L.R., Reno, NV This so-called reform in health care is totally unacceptable. If there is not to be a single-payer or a genuine public option, you should give it up and leave the matter alone until there is an administration competent and decent enough to do the right thing. ********** [141026:010610] D.M., Grove, OK We don't want to be forced to have health care, some people can't afford this, they are barely able to eat. Please don't turn us more and more into a communist country, this is against our constitution. Reform the insurance and drug companies and health care providers who are the reasons for unnaffordable health care!!!! thank-you ********** [140936:010610] D.M., Grove, OK We don't want to be forced to have health care, some people can't afford this, they are barely able to eat. Please don't turn us more and more into a communist country, this is against our constitution. Reform the insurance and drug companies and health care providers who are the reasons for unnaffordable health care!!!! thank-you ********** [101218:010610] J.B., Homer, AK There must be a single payer provision if one is to call the health care plan a true benefit to the American people. Anything less is likely to cause disgust, distrust, and revulsion in the general populace unlike anything witnessed in our 230 year history. Without such meaningful reform, the Democratic party will be picked apart and marginalized by the right and the left for years to come. DON'T DO IT!!! Get the Kuchinich or Sanders single payer initiatives in the final bill or sign onto what will become the certain demise of the Democratic party. Sincerely, JMBelcastro ********** [085738:010610] M.H., Fort Lauderdale, FL I have health insurance and it is adequate but not good. Insurance companies are interested in making money not American's health. Health care has been reduced by insurance companies dictating what doctors will be paid for and what will not be paid. Doctors/patient relationships are secondary to insurance doctor relationships. A government option is the only way to have health reform. Universal Health Care is the best reform. A Health Care Tax Increase would cover costs but the increase would reduce or eliminate insurance costs so the tax increase would balance with health care savings to all individuals. Also, Government run health care could include more alternative health care, healthy life style promotion and fewer high priced medical needs so cost could go down. Holistic health crisis prevention is less expensive than the high price of bad health. If all people had good health care when they wanted it they could stay healthier and not need high cost procedures caused by lack of health maintenance. Like mandatory car insurance cost will rise and coverage will be reduced. Mandatory health insurance will not solve the problem. Insurance companies care more about the bottom line than the people who pay them. We need Government Health Care. ********** [083155:010610] M.H., Fort Lauderdale, FL I have health insurance and it is adequate but not good.

It is not constitutional. Shut down the crooks and give us all medicare. Medicare or not at all!!!!!! ********** Go Back
