Hello:
I think it is ridiculous that we as Americans CANNOT get the health care coverage that we so need and so deserve to have! I am sick and tired of hearing about the,"Obesity Epidemic,"and I have got a way to solve this problem! How about the government MAKES HEALTHIER FOOD CHEAPER? That's right,make it AFFORDABLE so people don't have to choose between one apple,or three boxes of macaroni and cheese which is a meal and costs alot less. How about we make our health gyms affordable to EVERYONE,and not just to those who have the most,"money."
How about getting affordable and nutritious foods available to EVERYONE,and then talk to people about how they can prepare those healthier foods in a way that helps their health not harm it!
How about EVERYONE gets medical,dental,optical,and all of the other health services that ONLY THE RICH people can afford? Does anyone have any idea how many children have to go without dental care because dentists make a killing how much they charge just to clean a child's teeth,take x-rays,and then do dental work if necessary?
I think there should be UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE COVERAGE FOR EVERY MAN,WOMAN,CHILD,PERIOD,END OF STORY! Every person in this world should have whatever health services that they need available to them WHEN THEY NEED IT,without having to worry about how they are going to be able to afford going to the doctor when they don't have the money. Let's see,currently our American people get to decide between paying the rent or taking their very sick child to the doctor? Pay the utility bill or get groceries?
Now what is wrong with this picture when we supposedly live in the,"land of plenty,"but we can't seem to get the health care coverage that we desperately need and deserve as Americans?

I am an American that works for small business. I cannot argue that I pay a lot for my health care insurance. I am also confident that I am getting the best medical care in the world. The best doctors from all over the world come to America because WE PAY THE MOST. Because of this, American consumers pay the most for insurance. If you want to pay for a Kia, you are going to drive a Kia (not a BMW). When it comes to my health and the health of my family, give me the BMW.

Our health care system does not work for those who are not wealthy. Some of us are at the mercy of HMOs who decide what care we can have and if so how much. Others without insurance are at the mercy of the government plans, medicaid, who decide what care and how much. Not to mention prescription problems. There is no excuse for a country so wealthy. I have experienced this all first hand. Then doctors decide who and how they treat patients according to the insurance coverage you have or don't have !

The cost of health care in the US is outrageous... the American government doesn't give a hoot about the health of it's citizens. so many people die every day because nobody cares. Other countries DO care about their people. but NOT AMERICANS... ( A Canadian and proud of it)

it is absolute bullshit.. I work my *** off all week long to give a lazy *** doctor all my money and he only works 3 days a week. We need to go to a different plan like the british or something.

It is too costly for the people that need it the most.
