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.

I am one of the millions of uninsured people this bill is supposed to help.

Before the healthcare bill, I could pay for medical care when I or my family need it.

If the healthcare bill goes into effect, I will be forced to pay for insurance and forced to add a middleman markup to my healthcare. Now, if insurance doesn't want to pay for a second opinion, for example, I would have already spent the money for the second opinion and then some, but I would not be permitted to spend my money on the healthcare I choose.

Please explain to me what I have gained.

We do not have a healthcare system. I would support a healthcare system. This is just more insurance company bailout corporate welfare -- moving money from individuals and small business into the pockets of Wall Street.

If car insurance or health insurance works for you, I think you should have the freedom to buy their products. I have had bad experiences. Maybe you are so paid that liability-only car insurance is a total drop in the bucket. Please explain to me why I should be forced to buy products from insurance big businesses which sell the service of peace of mind, followed generally by trying to weasel out of covering actual need?

Additionally, because insurance companies play the market with your premiums, they drive up stock prices and, the more money they have to play with, the more they can mess with our already decimated economy.
