when obama campaigned one of his main platforms was health care reform and the people voted him into office,so i would assume the majority of the voting citizens in this country approve of this legislation, i don't care whether it passes or not it isn't going to affect me one way or another,but i hope it will slow down the increase in my insurance premiums every year, and PRAY HARD i hope god will intervene when a person is dying because of no health insurance.

I pray everyday for God to intervene in this Health Care Debate! I am not going to stay silent, and I am going to make my representatives be accountable for their votes. I've never wrote letter before but I am now. I am taking names of who voted for this bill and they WILL NOT get my vote in the future!

All this bill is going to do is cause more people to lose their jobs because if employers have to cover their employees then jobs will have to be cut to cover the cost. This will cause the few people who get to keep their jobs to work harder and everyone knows the harder and longer you work the bigger the chance is for injury at work and your immune system gets weaker so you get sick easier. Then there are the people who are struggling to pay their bills and now they want us to pay for health care too. Well I say come and make me pay for health care Mr. Obama you won't get any money from me.
