Comments about ‘Advocates for working poor deliver petitions for health-care reform’

I am opposed to any form of healthcare. Canadians pay 900.00 monthly for a family. They get to see a doctor on M-T from 9 a.m. to 12 noon. Put down Obama's plan write every congressman in this country. They are selling us down the path of no-return..............we need to wake up America.

I think you must live in a duck house if you still beleive one that our system is not a failer or two that what Obama proposes is the system Canada has.

Hatch, Bennett and Matheson have fabulous taxpayer-supported health care insurance and they've already sold their souls to the big insurance companies and hospitals. They could care less what their constituents want.

Why the lies! I am Canadian have a wife and four children and I DO NOT pay 900 dollars a month. My doctors hours are a heck of a lot more than 3 hours a day... and if he is not open and I really need to see someone I can go to the hospital. And of course I can do this without have to worry that I will not be able to pay for the groceries the following week!!

If you guys don't want to have the same system as ours that is your chose but do you really need to lie about our system!! Come on

I used to live in Montana, and worked in the health industry. We sure got alot of you Canadians coming down and willing to pay us cash for GOOD medical treatment. If it is such a good thing, one needs to ask why people would rather pay cash in the USA instead of getting the aid at home/.

I do not understand how people in a nation which touts Christian beliefs are against some form of universal healthcare option. Did not Jesus heal the sick? Was it not the good samaritan who is held as role model because he stopped in order to provide care to an injured man? Everyone deserves the right to healthcare. It should not be a privilege for the fortunate. Everyone is a child of God, which means it is our duty to care for all who reside in this nation.

Healthcare should not be attached to a job. I had wonderful insurance coverage when I worked for a private company. However, since I voluntarily left to pursue my PhD, I now have a plan that is so bare that it does not offer preventive care.

I have seen my sister pay over $900 a month to Cobra in order to keep her children insured. I have seen people who were severely bleeding calling around to find the hospital which they could afford.

We are a rich nation. We do not have to copy a system. We can create a system with the best healthcare and access to all.
