Pray that Obamacare is overturned. I'm already seeing new requirements when I go into the doctor office that scare me. Have you ever had your doctor ask, "why are you on medicare"?

Forcing insurance companies to take people with pre-existing conditions, fines for companies and individuals who don't get coverage. Private insurance premiums will most certainly be raised for those that have it. How can expanding coverage to over 30 million new people possibly lower costs? 27 billion of new taxes on drug companies, 20 billion on medical device makers. Those costs will just pass through to us in my opinion. Total of 18 new taxes estimating 503 billion in revenue. New taxes may bring revenue but they will also (also my opinion) slow economic growth which we desperately need right now. I listened to the oral arguments on the Supreme Court website and it seemed the justices were pretty skeptical of the constitutionality of it.

Those who are so against it say they don’t was the government making decisions. But that means they would prefer an insurance company who is for profit, who gets bonuses for denying medical procedures, and who can cancel you after you get sick/injured. I still have not heard 1 good reason not to have national health care. This Obama thing is too confusing. Greg ----------- It's enough to make even a quad kick ass and throw fists. But I am not surprised. The slightest medical problem results in bills for things and from people you never even heard of. To say that the whole thing is an immoral, unethical racket is an understatement. A lifetime of savings can be wiped out in one week. A simple hello from the doctor can cost $300. Your experience is all too common. I don't have a clue if Obama's plan will be better, but I certainly hope so. =
