Obama is trying to put health plans on all of us. So that means we would all have to pay for our own heath plans. I think it is important for all of us to have health plans because thousands of people die every year in the united states for not being able to pay their health plans as in medicine, surgerys, doctor visits, etc. Many people in the united states can't afford their medical bills so they refuse to go to the doctor and try to fix things themselves which makes it worst bacuse they are exposed to more infections and diseases they are also in more pain and can cause more damage to themselves. As we see in Britia, England, Canada, and Peru they have way much more cheaper and way better health systems they actually do pay a bit more taxes well not all of them but they get treated better. Like in Canada they pay alot of taxes but if you are an elder and can't afford your medicaal situations or your just not cappable of having that money they have the health care system which is great because they have a higher life span than us. I do think we should have better health system for all ages because people have health issues at all ages and some very very young ages a lot of people die and it's sad because in other parts of the world they get free health care and they get to live.

  I believe that everyone should be required to have health insurance, including non-documented workers, and that it should be granted to all at an affordable price. I have known two men in their fifties with families who died because they could not afford to pay for health insurance. One, a recreational athletic coach, was suffering with chest pains for several days. He did not go to a physician because he did not have health coverage. He died of cardiac arrest in front of his house. I believe that with non-documented workers paying into the health system, instead of getting charity care, coupled with government help, all U.S. citizens should have affordable health coverage, which should be the same coverage that our U.S. senators and congressmen get. The health of individuals comes before profits.

why should the people from health insurance decide if you could ger help

I think that there should be universal healthcare because a lot of people can not afford all the expenses and you should not need to go homeless just because you can not afford it since you can’t control that you got sick in the first place.

I think that everyone should get free health care because there is some people that can not afford to pay fo there medical bills. Everyone that should really have the ability to get well and they shoukd be able to go to a hospital and get medical attention no mater what there economic status is.

Im for healthcare because everyone needs healthcare to get healthy and all of the people of the world would be happy and we would be living in a better environment and nobody would be struggling for help.
