This is absurd! Once again, because I follow rules, I work hard, I too am going to be taxed so that those that are unemployed get covered along with the illegals. If only the government put his much energy in fight immigration, those using our systems, etc..
The national government is not responsible for health care. In fact, only 15% of the country's population is uninsured. Compared to the other issues at hand this can be considered trivial. Why not spend time trying to fix something else that effects us all and can eventually have a solution that will be acceptable to all, or at least most? Like maybe the economy? Or are those 15% of Americans insurance problems more important than the country's livelihood?

A "right" is something the Government cannot stop you from doing... it is not something they do for you!!
I look forward to helping to hand as many pink slips as possible to the so-called representatives who have been using the Constitution for toilet paper. Also, I would like to see any and all supporters of the upcoming "treaty" in Copenhagen to be tried and executed for treason - from the White House on down.
Goodbye Pete and Evan your services are no longer desired!!!!
WHEN YOUR UP YOUR OUT!
We need health care reform. But government intrusion into this marketplace (health care is a GOOD after all, not a RIGHT) has only made health care more expensive, which IS the problem after all. So if government has created the problem, why does anybody think that MORE government will be the solution? It's ridiculous.
The Tenth Amendment of our Constitution quite clearly makes healthcare a States rights issue, and the Federal government is Constitutionally barred from being in this.

Moreover, there is NO Constitutional right to healthcare, no more than there is such a right to government subsidized life insurance, homeowners/renters insurance, flood insurance, motor vehicle insurance, boat insurance, or pet medical insurance. This whole thing is absolute nonsense.
