We do need medical relief.But at what cost.I have a prexesting condition.so its hard,to impossible to get medical coverage.With out giving up my whole check. My Son in law has an awful time.He has a good job,faithful in he work ethics.But for a family of 4 insurence takes almost half his income.Whats wrong with that picture.Is that its so unfare.Many people do with out getting treated,old people who have labored hard all their lives paid taxes.watched inflatins rise.Some suffer bad Because they just can afford the insurence,or the medical bill.So they are stuck between a rock,an a hard place.

I pray some kind of relief comes to our people,thats all colors, all people who are legaly in this country!!!

She works hard,an just gets by,raising clothing ,an feeding 2 children,no goverment help..So is he saying lose the roof over your an your childrens head,to pay this outragious medical bills.No one likes to owe medical bills,but who can help but not owe.who can pay 1400 a pop each hospital visit.That just to be checked,an maybe get some fluid,an a script.My treatments will run around thirty eight thousand for treatments ,thats not counting byopseys,ultra sounds,dr visits,an all else in cluded.An how could a sick person not insured,pay that outa pocket,who will insre a person already diagnosed.Its awful in AMERICA,THE MEDICAL PRICES.

Do you really expect people to believe that they will be choosing between “death by hunger and expulsion from their homes” if the government takeover of insurance doesn’t happen? What a joke!! The majority of Americans who claim they cannot afford health insurance have no problem with their monthly car payments, cable or satellite television, multiple cell phone plans, cigarettes, alcohol, etc. They choose not to get health insurance as it is not a fun-filled activity to spend money on…so, in your and the progressive minorities opinion it is the duty of the “rich” to purchase it for them??

What year exactly did self-responsibility die? Every action has consequences. If you don’t pay your mortgage…you might not get to keep your home. If you don’t get a job which provides healthcare and/or purchase healthcare for your family, you may end up on the bad end of a large medical bill. Hello??? It’s not the job of the hard-working American to pay for the indigent…just ask the UK

You say that healthcare is “guaranteed” to all major democracies. What you don’t say is how efficient it is. It may be guaranteed, but it is also guaranteed that you have a better chance of dying on a waiting list for the rationed care that is provided. Ever wonder why so many in these “major democracies” spend the money to come to the US to get surgeries and required care?

The wealthiest 1 percent of the population earn 19 per­cent of the income but pay 37 percent of the income tax. The top 10 percent pay 68 percent of the tab. Meanwhile, the bottom 50 percent—those below the median income level—now earn 13 percent of the income but pay just 3 percent of the taxes. Once again you have stated lies, Mr. Kent. You blindly state liberal talking points without once checking their accuracy.

Unlike your uneducated daily ramblings I have included links to other stories which support what I am saying, Mr. Kent
