If we had real healthcare reform, how about making it tax deductible for a business to pay for surgery if a worker needs it? That is only at most half tax deductible, but buying that same worker health insurance is 100%.

Don't you think it makes more sense to give money to a surgeon when you have a problem than a paper pusher whose job depends on rejecting a certain portion of claims?

I know someone who has health insurance, whose wife recently died, and the insurance company apparently routinely rejects 10% of medical costs in such cases because they know most grieving spouses won't take legal action before the statute of limitations runs out.
If you really feel your car insurance isn't worth it, if your car is paid off go buy limited insurance for some stupid low price. Nobody is forcing you to pay premium rates unless you don't own your car, then it's logical, it's not yours.

The healthcare bill provides healthcare. I don't care who is dishing it out.

Before the healthcare bill we had nothing... after it, we have something. Expecting it to be perfect, is insane. But getting our foot in the door isn't. Now that we have a healthcare system, everyone, you me, dem/rep, etc should be working to improve it, not stop it.

When I see others not willing to give up a small bit of money to help fellow Americans I truly think the people disgust me. I'm willing to die for my Country protecting its people & you people aren't willing to give up some stupid ass money that is completely pointless shit to help out?

This is the problem with America & Americans.... Greed.
