In Canada last year, health care cost $4,600 per person. No co pays, no paperwork, $4,600 per person. How much does your health insurance cost? Add on copays, now how much?

Government making your decisions for you? Do you mean like that boondoggle Medicare? How many of you or your parents would give up Medicare? Taxes would go up? How much does your health insurance cost?

Socialize!

5 percent increase in universal health premiums ,

But as on comment stated , I believe this is a low figure..

The main question is ,,,,,

WHO IN THE H... IS GOING TO GIVE US A FREE BAILOUT ON OUR PREMIUMS..

IF you elect Obama, you get a continued focus on a health care plan for citizens. If you elect McCain and his beauty queen, you get a song and dance about how the government can afford to bail every bank in the world (literally, the world), BUT NOT A CHANCE ON PREEMPTIVELY KNOCKING THE SAME CORPORATE GREED THAT CAUSED THE FINANCIAL CRISIS OUT OF HEALTH CARE. Yes, it's that stark. Did I mention that Palin has her "values" upside down?

Rising health care costs

I am so sick and tired of the same old rising health care costs stories. Please, when health care costs actually go down, then do a story. And I promise, I WON'T hold my breath on that one.

Health insurance costs

My health insurance premium rose 20% this year, and I had NO claims against it last year. What a rip-off.

Universal Health Care

Can we all get together now and say enough of this insane rip-off of the american people. When for gods sake are we going to get with the global program of universal health and stop letting the same people who have ripped us off with this present financial crisis continue to cheat us out of a humane universal health system. This is cultural insanity.
