fined if they do not offer health insurance and for individuals to be fined if they do not chose to get either private insurance or a public plan?



How will this NOT cripple both the economy and businesses?How will Kennedy's proposed legislation help anyone? His health insurance proposal calls for businesses to be?I am unsure why business's need to offer to pay for health insurance anyway...it is major burden to them



Why can't we do away it and people pay themselves and have a one payer system



PBS.org had a very informative show regarding this idea





Need to look at who is preventing any reform from happening and why

it is the insurance companies who want it to remain the same



and doctors are protesting the fact that they have to spend time on the phone with the insurance companies fighting for their patients non stop



The insurance companies remain the problem and turn away anyone with illness...people believe they are covered but soon as find out they are sick they find themselves in debt a was not



We need to look at many different ideas and think outside the box to have real reform



What he proposes is to ensure all people are covered and no one left out and do not believe that fines are the way to go



As the reform is in early stages...best to get ideas out as the ones we have now do not work....it will go no where and not law so best to keep putting forth ideas....any out there?How will Kennedy's proposed legislation help anyone? His health insurance proposal calls for businesses to be?

Think about it. Social Security dead by 2017. States cannot afford their own welfare programs. Medicare is in very serious trouble. Ohio has completely cut out heating bill assistance which has run out of money, etc... With current deficits, not including future ones, our tax base with the loss of the middle class means virtually zero money in the treasury. I think it is way to optimistic to assume it will ONLY cripple the economy and businesses. I plan on leaving the USA immediately after graduation upon any credible job offers to areas of the world I am looking at. People have always asked me where would I go that is better than here. In four years, that is going to be a long list. How bad will it get here? Here's a couple of clues. Stalinist USSR and Mao's China. Hitler's Germany is another possibility. If you think it cannot happen here, you're not watching the news.How will Kennedy's proposed legislation help anyone?

Federal government's interference in health care is unconstitutional (I DARE ALL OF YOU TO PROVE ME WRONG). If Comrade Kennedy is so confident in government interfered health care, he should go to Washington General Hospital (or the nearest public health clinic) the next time Mary Jo Kopekne's ghost visits him. Anyone who has confidence in the federal government's handling of health care should look at education, the welfare state programs, Socialist Insecurity, Medicare and Medicaid, all failed agencies of the federal government.



Darcy, how many of the people "turned away" by insurance companies waited until they needed help before they got insurance? If the federal government didn't interfere and make up so many useless rules health care would be a LOT cheaper. How's this for an idea - I go to a doctor, I pay; you go to a doctor, you pay? Personal responsibility - what a concept!
