I want to concur with what Jennifer Christine said. I just visited a friend in Canada and was amazed at the low quality the hospital that his mother was at.

With new reports uprising about the complications regarding the recent health care bill, how do people feel about this? It seem many were enthusiastic about the bill in general, and as details of the bill were revealed, many organizations opted out. In the medical industry, current events are extremely relevant.

Have any of you heard of Consumer Driven Healthcare. It is a growing trend that puts healthcare back into the hands of the patient and doctor. Are you tired of paying insurance companies ridculous prices for less coverage. Why not try Consumer Driven Healthcare. Good Luck with your healthcare issues, and God Bless!

It’s sad that the healthcare debate is getting so slowed down in the red tape of our political process. All of us have dealt with the plethora of paperwork from one ER visit and how you’re never really sure how much it cost you until 3 months later. Vote for change…thats what we still need.

We really need to focus on the future generations of this country throughout this debate, an aspect I feel has been completely neglected. I read an article recently by a group of doctors and medical professionals, and there was a statistic in the the article that places the U.S. as #37 regarding health care. http://www.ourblook.com/component/option,com_sectionex/Itemid,200076/id,8/view,category/#catid107
The entire health care structure needs an overhaul. Information and Communication Technologies need to updated to be more efficient and handle patient information. We need to question spending in health care and find solutions to some of the smaller issues as well as the national necessities.

To say that only those who want a government plan health care should pay is silly. Our taxes go to all kinds of things that many of us do not agree with like the war in Iraq. No citizen gets to choose what government services they will contribute to. That’s like saying you’ll never travel to North Dakota so you don’t want your tax money to pay for roads that may lead there. Our taxes are supposed to benefit the greater good. I can’t think of a more beneficial recipient of my tax money than a health care system that would elevate the health of our countrymen. As far as this effecting the incentive to become doctors … haven’t you noticed that countries with government run plans don’t have that problem!

@nancymom, The other fact is that what incentive will someone have to become a doctor or researcher if they are controlled by the government? None. None of us go to college and get educated so that we can get a job where the government controls what we make etc.
The only way to do this is for those that want it to be taxed and the rest of us not, nobody should be forced to pay for something they don’t want, that would be communism (look it up)

@Rebecca Reid, Those that want government healthcare should most definately have it, but at their own expense. If 20 million people want it then only those 20 should be forced to pay, it is not right to force those of us who do not want government health care, isn’t that fair??
