Comments about ‘Obama moving too fast with health-care reform’

Has set in on our Health-Care, its just a mattter of time and Obama will screw it all up just like everything else he touches.

The thing I enjoy most these days is watching all the unemployed folks that are cropping up that voted for this YAHOO for the White House. I'll bet many of them wished they had never said "YES WE CAN". Unemployment are going to reach levels higher than we've seen it in a long, long time. Its about time some of these OBAMA folks start coming to grips and instead of saying "yes we can" they need to start saying "one and done".

Health care reform was attempted by Presidents Truman, Nixon, and Clinton. All were defeated by the health-industrial complex. This is the reason we pay double for healthcare compared to every other advanced nation. The time to do it is now.

It's about time we got it done. Obama appears 'too fast' compared to what we've witnessed for many years up to this point, which was 'dead stop'. The man is a leader, and wants things done.

I think the fool in cheif should push health-care reform, or socialized health-care, at least as fast as he pushed the bailouts that were never studied or scrutinized because their was not time!!!

Anything done by the government besides law-making, diplomacy, and military business is probably going to be screwed up. The way I see this "healthcare" is that the people who do pay for their own healthcare must also bear the burden of those that don't.

The "fool in chief" left office on January 20, 2009 at noon. He CAN'T "push" anything. He's not in a position any more to do so.

Yes, we have many uninsured citizens & this is a problem that needs to be solved in an intelligent manner. However, "Obamacare" is not the way to solve the healthcare crisis in America. The vast majority of Americans have excellent care & are willing to pay a fee for it. What we do not need or want is a system that resembles the dysfunctional/mediocre plans of Europe and Canada; where people die waiting for treatment. The government now controls a bank & an automobile business; they can now dictate which cars we can and cannot buy. Do we really want them to be able to tell us what healthcare we're entitled to? We will all suffer under a universal plan that is run by the federal government. Those who are currently uninsured and underinsured will find that their care will not significantly improve. At the same time, those with good care will find that their care has dramatically deteriorated. It is incredibly arrogant and irresponsible of the executive branch to think that they can effectively fix this complex problem in a matter of months. Write to your senators and congressmen! Tell them you do not approve of government run healthcare.

Look at the health care system the government does administer:

1. VA... my veteran friends have to wait 6 months for an appointment. One Vietnam Vet friend of mine says he won't even try with the VA anymore, because of the miserable state of health care there. Another example... The VA center by where I live purchased a computer system for ~450million which never really worked.

2. Military... Recall a few years ago, Walter Reed hospital where lots of Iraq war vets were being treated was found to be falling apart around the patients??

Do we want the health care system of the whole nation to be like these? C'mon! Obama is pushing us into Soviet-style communism... Government ownership and management of everything. Whaddya think, COMRADE?

The public likes Obama because he's serious about health care reform. I'm all for him. If the GOP tries to stall the health care reform movement they will suffer the same fate as the Whigs - the issue is that big.

Some comments above, doubtless made by people with plenty of health care probably paid for by someone else, have the ring of "Let them eat cake". Cancer 6:59 delights openly in other people's misery because they were foolish enough to vote for change last fall. Anon 8:17 pretends he/she wants change delayed, when actually hoping the 50 million or so folks without health coverage just die quickly with as little expense to the public as possible. I hope the same folks don't try to argue that the US is a "Christian nation" because you couldn't prove it by them.

DN quote-"Now, three months later, it's clear that our current economy bears no resemblance to the 1930s, that signs of recovery are emerging, and thus far only 6 percent of the $800 billion "stimulus" pot of political lard has been spent.

If this is an indication of "emerging recovery from the Obama admin..then we are on par to move to the next level of Health Care. Certainly the Bush admin couldnt do these stats in his eight years, yet "3 months later" signs of recovery are emerging!

Lets not emulate the "Conservative view" and spend millions of dollars and and subsidize Washington anymore than we have to in protracted televised debates and rhetoric, when we can move on an agenda thats "fair" to all classes.

Theyve already spend their billions on the Iraq War with the only statistics is the dead.
Lets try to focus on repair of our own injured and diseased and frail, where the prevous government hijacked for the wealthty sector.
