      I received your resent message (from the email list), and while I appreciate your enthusiasm, I cannot stand behind any part of this bill. An insurance company is a business with employees, locations, an IT budget and above all a Profit Margin. All of the money for this comes out of the money you would be spending on health care. The entire bill is to enforce this Middle Man on all Americans, so that they can make a profit on people who otherwise would not choose to spend their food money on insurance. All an insurance company does is insure that you Will spend money, whether you get cared for or not.

      I do not support this “industry” that makes it’s money solely off of spending my Medical budget on advertisements, yatchs, people to file unneeded paperwork computer systems to support these unneeded employees who file unneeded paperwork.

      My father tested this concept before he died. He had been laid off when the economy started to dive and lost his insurance coverage. He had been going in monthly for visits to check his Kumadin levels, to ensure that his blood would not get too thick or thin. Before he lost his coverage, he was paying a $100 co-pay. After he lost his insurance, he went in for the same checkup and only had to pay $65. The “discount” that you see on your bill is a falsification. You pay more for healthcare when you have coverage, and you still have to pay the premiums/deductibles.

      If anything, I would encourage those who have the time, to push for the abolishment of the insurance industry all-together, not the enforcement of this unneeded monopoly. I really would have liked to attend the forum, but I was not able to get out of work in time.

      Obama wins nobel peace prize. Why?
      Hard to believe that a U.S. President can win a peace prize while engaged in two wars.
      Can some one please inform me as to why Obama has gotten a Nobel Peace Prize when he has yet to do what he has gotten the prize for?

      i was wondering this too because i think we should be out of afghanistan

      but it turns out that the nobel prize people usually try to give the prize to someone that’s in the middle of an important change

      like they gave it to de klerk and mandela before apartheid was over

      to try to get them to finish the job

      so i think same thing here

      but actually isn’t this a health care article

      wait how did you even get me to respond to this

      wait are you just one of those conspiracy dudes

      aw frick wasted my time
