Welcome to Gaia! ::

The Senators need to get this Health Care reform figured out, get right and get it done for the people

That is true All the conservative Senators are getting in the way So there is bickering going on on Capitol Hill

I'm blaming both sides, Republicans are refusing to really talk about it but Democrats are rushing this through without enough information.

That is all true we dont want to rush a bill that wont work right and We dont want the dems loosing seats in either house. We just want a bill that works right. A health care reform that works for the people

I agree to that, though I would like to get to a point of universal health care our country isn't at a place to afford it right now.

Yes both sides are at fault, I agree with you there. However, the Democrats aren't willing to talk about it either. No one (on Capitol Hill, that is) is willing to debate it. It's always an emergency. WE GOTTA DO IT NOW WE GOTTA DO IT NOW!!! IT'S AN EMERGENCY!!!!!
If it's gonna cost as much as it is, and our national debt is already this high, I think we should take care of the economy first and pay off our debt, then consider a Universal Health Care plan. Not increase the debt when it's already rediculously high enough.
And personally, I'm just flat out against Government Run Health Care. First of all, how are we going to pay for it and where will we get the money? And secondly; Universal Health Care is basically an expansion of Medicare and Medicaid, and those are both flat broke. So how are we supposed to build on a broken foundation?

you overestimate the crisis of the economy. you act like if we have free health care, the country will suddenly be like Somalia....

USA GDP $14.26 trillion

Zimbabwe GDP $1.925 billion


hmmm....methinks that such a comparison is spurious at best....
