no, our healthcare shouldnt be handed out by the government. they will decide who gets treatment and who doesnt. plus you will be paying for poor people's care with outrageous taxes.

The general idea is that everyone gets treatment, surely? In the UK, for example, there isn't government intervention per se. If there was there'd be an outcry.
they look at statistics. if you are over a certain age, it is no longer "logical" to treat you. plus the bill is already 600 pages. who knows what else is in it? who has read the entire bill?

I completely support Obama's healthcare reform and every time a conservative uses a scare tactic or calls it evil just makes me want it more. As of right now, I have health insurance because of my dad, but once I finish school, I'll be on my own unless I get a job that provides good coverage. I don't want to have to decide on a job based on healthcare plans and I definately don't want to spend thousands on insurance or medical bills over the course of my lifetime. I'd prefer a slightly higher tax so everybody's paying what they can afford to give, with a percentage system on what I can afford. Those with the most money pay for most of it, as the healthcare system directly and/or indirectly affects everyone in this country. I don't mind paying some healthcare taxes if it means I'm helping an uninsured person get life saving surgery that he/she wouldn't be able to get otherwise. We can use this reform to increase our life expectancy, and I believe we can keep the benefits of our current system as well. It doesn't have to be identical to the Socialist countries, but it needs to be closer than it is right now.
