    Coming from the outsdie of the U.S. I am always very dubious when I hear the terms 'free market' and 'competition' used with healthcare. The U.S. is the ONLY developed nation that does not GUARANTEE healthcare for it's citizens. I cannot see why if the public option works and is cheaper why that wouldn't be a good thing. Yes, Rudy got to choose his own doctor and hospital, and so do a lot of people with health insurance: yet people in th UK and Canada live , on average, 3 years longer than Americans. I would be interested to hear what people in the U.S feel about a public option , and also could someone explain the difference between Medicare and Medicade? Thank you.

    he has some good points about the health care program trying to be implemented under this adminstration but i would feel more comfortable listening to someone who has been completely honest like ron paul....god everything he says makes sense... and public option is not better!!! u kidding me here in australia the whole system is under strain/collapsing... the waiting times are huge! even emergency u have to wait i think i heard one story was up to 30 minutes for a life threatening condition... overcrowded, lack of resources, not properly funded, and private health insurance cant compete with the government.... sigh i recommend ppl listen to ron paul, rand paul they have some great ideas...

    The mayor of 9/11 could quite get elected to be the president of 9/11, so he packaged 9/11 in a box and goes around selling it?

    He says Obama is right to make more war in Afghanistan, because that's the place where the people who did 9/11 are headquartered. This is conveniently ignoring the fact that the group around Osama bin Laden was destroyed and disbanded in 2001/2002 and bin Laden himself in all likelihood has been dead for a good while now. What the US is now fighting in Afghanistan is a whole bunch of different factions, and the population is by and large not supporting the US.

    What people fail to see with health care, is that there aren't 47 million Americans without health care. That number is significantly less. There are segments of the population that choose to not buy health care....and that's is their own choice to not do so. What the majority of people also fail to realize is that your employer pays the majority if not all of your health care costs. Think about it. If you're given the opportunity to pay less on a health care program, you're going to pay less. So you're going to get shoved onto the government system. Now, I don't think government is bad in all that it does. But I do fail to see a country where this program has succeeded. I think the government should give a trial period to a segment of states, one large, one small and see how the option does/runs/problems in those specific states...before implementing it across the nation. I also have a rough time in thinking that health care is a right. When you have so many people abusing their bodies with obesity or smoking, I don't want my tax dollars to have to pay for YOUR acting stupid. I'm sorry, but that's the truth of the matter. I want poor people to have access, but I'm unsure as to what that access should be.

    Show me a system where there is a good 70% approval rating for the government running their health care and I'll go for it. Until then, reform the areas that can be done. Tort reform, insurance coverage for all (pre-existing conditions), insurance over state lines, etc. Otherwise, stay out of my tax dollars as I don't trust the majority of government institutions/organizations.
