I am but a poor student teacher, but when I start teaching full-time I will gladly pay higher taxes to ensure health care for all Americans. Good for you for taking a stand on your blog!Hawleywoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01064844995108425151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5722510478546049893.post-78179334117449955212009-09-17T15:57:15.782-06:002009-09-17T15:57:15.782-06:00I am currently self employed and buy my own health...I am currently self employed and buy my own health insurance. It's not too expensive, but nonetheless I pay for it. It doesn't cover much at all, but keeps me safe, at least, from massive debts if something tragic were to happen to me.<br /><br />If the government offers free health insurance, I'll stop paying for mine. I'll gladly take the free ride regardless of the quality of service. Employers will do the same. Why pay for health insurance for your employees if the government offers a free option? If I were employing 500 people I would drop their coverage in a heartbeat. Enjoy the fruits of your taxes, I'd say. You're paying them. You might as well get the health care you're paying for.Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05696967002943279522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5722510478546049893.post-62101453327156657352009-09-08T09:28:31.968-06:002009-09-08T09:28:31.968-06:00Cathy, I applaud you for taking a stand for all pe...Cathy, I applaud you for taking a stand for all people. Health care is NOT a partisan issue. It is a moral issue. It is a human issue. I am so sick of people making it political and calling a public option "socialist." Perhaps we should rid ourselves of other "socialist" programs like police, fire, military, Medicare and public schools? France is #1 in health care in the world and they have a hybrid system of private insurance and public option. It's a model that works and we should follow it. We are 37th in the health care and we should be ashamed of that, being the richest country in the world. There is a boatload of propaganda permeating the airwaves and the internet -- all funded by the insurance companies and the Republican party. Thank you for doing your own research and thinking for yourself.Lisa Christiano Rosehttp://lisawantsthefloor.blogspost.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5722510478546049893.post-2175759761537210332009-09-06T22:44:15.949-06:002009-09-06T22:44:15.949-06:00It's sad, because I was always told to respect...It's sad, because I was always told to respect those in office, no matter who it is.
