Text of H.R. 676: United States National Health Care Act or the Expanded and Improved

That's what I'm afraid of -- that, once again, they're going to just tinker with a few details "around the edges," without making any serious, significant change ...

Agreed Elkpark. That is why it is imperative in this country not to make a mistake.I am in a nursing program and actively looking for a SRNA position ( very few offer health insurance). So, it is my wish that I do not get sick, because quite simply, I can not afford to get sick, costly. Furthermore, I understand the burden of getting sick while insured, and having the insurance company deny coverage. It happened to my mother after ten years of payment. All of the sudden she was uninsurable. That is why we must be vigilant, and upright.

Obama will not reach our goals, but he is a step in the right direction. And leave this country. Contact someone from a UHC country and make them aware of the plight here in the States. Ultimately, my thoughts on the health care crisis are, that it won't be relevant to those in power until it starts to hurt them. Nurses are the forefront, you've know idea the power you possess. Drop you insurance, reject the private market and there will be change. I have done so, quite succesfully even though I suffer from a duodenal ulcer.

Thanks cwissy...that's the first chance I had to review the proposal...what a mess.

Pie in the sky, broken promises about payroll taxes, and no proof that these measures will even work.
