Hands OFF My Healthcare

Submitted by GloryDaze (not verified) on Thu, 08/27/2009 - 8:12am.
  • How can the proposed healthcare bills be good for Americans when Congress wants to be exempt from it?

  • Have you spoken open and honestly with YOUR DOCTOR about effects of govt. sanctioned healthcare?

  • How long did it take you (Rep. Mike McIntyre) to read the bill?

  • Why restructure the ENTIRE system of healthcare when ONLY 5% of Americans are "chronically" uninsured?

    • Mr.McIntyre vote the way of the taxpaying VOTING citizens you represent or you'll be out of a job soon.

    Questions for Congressman McIntyre

    Submitted by Concerned About Uninsured Americans (not verified) on Thu, 08/27/2009 - 6:41am.
    Congressman, you told the Robesonian that you are going to fight for health benefits for Seniors. What are you doing to fight for health benefits for uninsured working age adults? You have expressed concern that we cannot afford health care reform. Yet health care expenses are the leading cause of bankruptcy in our country. Can we afford that? Our health care system is the most expensive in the world. 30% is absorbed by non-productive administrative expenses. Yet our health outcomes are worse than other advanced economies. Can we afford that?

    If you're an uninsured, working age adult....

    ...where's your money going? Do you have a cellular phone? Do you have cable TV? How many kids did you have? How new is your car? It's estimated that half the uninsured working age adults are uninsured because they choose to spend their money on things other than health insurance.

    Let me get this straight

    Submitted by Commonsensenotc... on Wed, 08/26/2009 - 3:44pm.
    Obama's health care plan will be written by a committee whose head says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that hasn't read it, signed by a president who smokes, funded by a treasury chief who did not pay his taxes, overseen by a surgeon general who is fat, and financed by a country that is nearly broke. What could possibly go wrong?

    You may be considered ugly

    You may be considered ugly by many but that won't prevent you from being covered.

    And you may considered fat and lazy by some but that probably won't stop you from expecting a handout.

    The point is, I do not want

    Submitted by Guest3659987 (not verified) on Thu, 08/27/2009 - 11:43am.
    The point is, I do not want to be covered by gov't run healthcare. I have healthcare. Go get you some. Don't expect me to get some for you.

    I would take

    I would take being ugly over your choice of being unintelligent.

    I sincerely apologize...

    Submitted by Commonsensenotc... on Thu, 08/27/2009 - 10:17am.
    ...if the truth offends you. Live with it. BTW, I'm already "covered," as are 5 of every 6 Americans. Stop trying to screw up our coverage. (It's actually humorous to hear liberals whine about us being so mean, such as daring to ask how we're going to pay for all this insane, out of control spending and planned spending.)

    Hows It Going To Work?

    Submitted by Concerned_Citizen on Wed, 08/26/2009 - 2:05pm.
    How will the government run health care affect other government run programs such as Social Security and Medicare? These programs already have problems that need to be fixed. Do you think the government can handle health care, and not run into the same problems the plague all other government run programs? Finally where is the money going to come from without raising taxes?
