Comment: You try going without insurance for a couple of years and see what you think of that situation. from Reynoldsburg, Ohio by Louise M
Comment: My only regret is that the
bill has been watered down in
a fruitless effort to appease
Republicans and spineless
Democrats. It's time to treat
health care as we treat
highways and defense--an
expense that only the
government can provide to all. from Columbus, Ohio by Jim
Comment: The government has their hand in too many things. Already Medicare has cut down on available care, so what will happen next. And now they want to cut back on mammograms too???? I'm waiting to see how many physicians start to retire if this does pass. Just keep praying for the right decision to be made. from Galion, Ohio by Pat

Comment: The Gov cannot run anything right. Just look at medicare, it is a joke. They tell us were we have to get our medicine and what medicine we have to take. It doesn't matter what the Doctor prescribes. from Londonderry, Ohio by Bernadine

Comment: 99% of the people I know agree with the Health care bill, it surprises me every time I see polls like this indicating America does no want it. America does want it, especially those who do not have health care now, or knows someone who needs health care and can't afford it. from Columbus, ohio by Tonya
Comment: It's amazing to me how deaf the
president is......
from columbus, ohio by richard
Comment: I get really tired of the bickering in Washington between Republicans and Democrats. The Republicans are just against the health care reform bill because President Obama is a Democrat. Why don't we forget about what party is in the White House and vote for what is good for America !! from Columbus, Ohio by Pam

socialism? No thanks. When
did we become to good for
capitalism. No system is
perfect but show me a system
that is better than
capitalism. from Plain City, OH by David

Government take over with Obama Care-No from Columbus, Ohio by Edward
Comment: It is obvious Obama and his cabal don't care what's in the bill and most, if any, don't even know it. It's all about power and control, definitely not health care. The president and his Democratic Party have lied about what is in it, the cost and their reason for ramming this bill down the throats of the overwhelming plurality of the citizens who oppose this bill. For 10% of the population, they are determined to destroy excellent health care for 90% of the population. from New Albany, Ohio by Jan
Comment: doing nothing is worse. from columbus, ohio by dana
Comment: Please don't conduct unscientific Web
polls and then present them as legitimate
research on television. from Bexley, Ohio by Mark
Comment: Obama care is an abomination. The only way health care reform will be real is if ALL of the corrupt politicians in Washington are forced to abide by the same health care bill they are ramming down our throats. November is coming -- and not a minute too soon. from Worthington, Ohio by Lois
Comment: Something needs to be done to improve on some of the current problems, but this bill would make things worse. from , Ohio by Jim
Comment: There is no real urgency to pass this unaffordable bill - most of its benefits do not even START until 4 years from now. from UA, OHIO by Ted
Comment: How are the Americans going to pay for the insurance?? Lets face it the government is broke along with state and local governments. from Chillicothe, OH by Roger
Comment: If this is so good for us, why was it put together behind closed doors? from Nashport, Ohio by Larry
Comment: Something as important as health care should be voted on by the people, not by crooked politicians making back room deals from columbus, ohio by roger
Comment: It is unconstitutional. When elected, each member of congress raises his/her hand and pledges to uphold the constitution. Voting for this bill is treasonous. Each and every person who voted for this should, at a minimum, be voted out or thrown out of office. from , Ohio by Veronica
Comment: We don't need reform, we need more affordable and more available health care. What we do not need: is another ponderous, and inefficient bureaucracy. from Columbus, Ohio by Matthew
Comment: They should have taken their time and passed a better bill. "We the people" must not count any more. The Democrats should all be impeached along with Obama!! from Columbus, Ohio by L
Comment: The same folks who were going to have us out of Iraq and Afghanistan 4 years ago are going to take care of us with this Health Care Bill????
Not likely. from Ostrander, OH by Frank
Comment: I would from columbus , Ohio by Jessica
Comment: Yes, absolutely--Healthcare reform is needed and long overdue. Why could amounts of Premiums not be shared by employers and staggert based on income with mandatory deduction from each paycheck. from Pataskala, Ohio by Gisela
Comment: We are heading down a very slippery slope! from Columbus, Ohio by Karm
Comment: if the new health care bill goes through I dont believe medicare will be there for the people that are retiring soon. from , ohio by barbara
Comment: This bill for what it is a
tremendous over reaction by
politicians that have little
understanding of how either
healthcare or free markets
work. This bill is exactly the
opposite of what this country
needs. from Canal Winchester, Ohio by Mike
