Under his plan there are still &amp;quot;fines&amp;quot; that will be enforced to parent who do not buy in. By him enforces companies to lower their premiums: CO-Pays will sky rocket because there will be no need for competition. Under a universal health care plan. Health care companies will have to compete with the Congressional Health care plan. This means Health care insurance policies will have to lower not only premiums but also co-pays in order to compete with the Congressional Health care. I recieve health care provided buy the government and read the bills all the time ; It is amazing to see the bartering that goes on. For a 500. dollar bill, the governement gets the hospitals to lower that bill buy at least 50% and pays your bills at the lower price. I have no co -pays except for 3.00 medicine co-pays. Imagine a country where doctors and healthcare providers start taking more interest in actually caring about patients not the BOTTOM DOLLAR.</description></item><item><title>Clinton on air in Wisconsin</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/02/12/657845.aspx#658161</link><pubDate>Tue, 12 Feb 2008 17:17:22 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:658161</guid><dc:creator>Sierra, SF</dc:creator><description>SHIRLEY L.

I work in a hospital(26 years) and see so many people with no health care &amp;nbsp;- they come in for open heart or stroke or whatever - and demand the best to save them, spending over 600,00 pr more for their care. &amp;nbsp;We ( the poor schmucks that pay for insurance) have our ins. rise to pay for that care. When you talk with them( the individuals without insurance) they have atvs, nice cars, a nice house, they travel to fla for the winter. In short they have the good life - they take no guff from a &amp;nbsp;boss - quit jobs at the drop of a hat and have a loud opinion of everything. &amp;nbsp;They CAN pay for insurance - but choose not to... a point obama refuses to see. ANY health plan that does not include everyone is one that will fail because individuals such as this will continue to drive up the basic costs for the general public with insurance. IF you have not worked in the field DO NOT make assumptions about the success of OBAMA's plan which is in reality - no plan. Wake up and look at your neighbors. those without insurance are living on the generosity of the middle class and we are getting fairly tired of the load.

Everyone should be asking why Hillary Clinton has been unsuccessful to effectively win the nomination? It is obvious that her campaign was counting on an easy ride to victory, coasting on her name recognition and past history, floating on the gas vapor of good will for Bill Clinton. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are both compelling candidates. No one can fault Hillary for not living up to expectations in debates or speeches. She has been an outstanding candidate. So why isn’t she celebrating victory? What happened to her huge lead in the polls? Why did it disappear when the voters got involved? She had collected huge sums of money for her campaign, or did she? News reports indicated that her campaign trove rivaled Obama’s. Where did it go? Why wasn’t her campaign ready to win caucuses? Now the spin is: we don’t do caucuses, just primaries. Huh? You’re running for president in the Democratic Party and you’re not ready to caucus? Maybe she’s too trusting of her advisors? The same advisors who told her to vote for the Iraq war? It would seem she would have such a huge advantage over Obama who is so inexperienced. Who cares if you’re ready to serve on day one if you’re not ready to run for the nomination?</description></item><item><title>Clinton on air in Wisconsin</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/02/12/657845.aspx#658350</link><pubDate>Tue, 12 Feb 2008 17:56:34 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:658350</guid><dc:creator>Juanita Covington</dc:creator><description>Hillary is the best person for the job.

The law spends more time concerning itself with who has car insutrance, than it does who has HEALTH insurance.&lt;br&gt;Mandated coverage also means that nobody can be turned down, and Obama's plan doesn't cover that contingency.&lt;br&gt;Obama and his followers have name-called, race baited, and LIED their way into the lead for the nomination. I hope your proud of that.&lt;br&gt;You can be qually as proud to know that Barrack Obama will NEVER get this lifelong Democrat's vote. &lt;br&gt;I will do all that is in my power, including volunteer work for John McCain, in order to see to it that Obama NEVER sees the inside of &amp;quot;1600&amp;quot; as President. (If Obama gets the nomination.)&lt;br&gt;Loyal Democrats take heed, our party is being over run by extremeist whackos again.&lt;br&gt;Please, let's nominate Hillary.

She was exposed, sure, to things that others may not have been, but she was not in elected office.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Obama, on the other hand, was. &amp;nbsp;First, working as an organizer is no joke? &amp;nbsp;Make sure you know what that means - because it means bringing people together to make choices and decisions about people most often forgotten - the poor, the homeless, single moms on welfare, etc. &amp;nbsp;Then he was elected - check that word - ELECTED to state senate. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I just think people should be informed. &amp;nbsp;Read their positions. &amp;nbsp;Think about what CAN be accomplished and who is more likely to get things ACCOMPLISHED! &amp;nbsp;I don't think Hillary can get anything passed unless we continue with a Democratic House and Senate and even then it's a stretch. &amp;nbsp;Also, as mid-term elections trend, they switch depending on who's at the top. &amp;nbsp;Why? &amp;nbsp;Because most Americans don't like to be snowballed. &amp;nbsp;So think about who is more likely to get work done with a GOP House/Senate. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Those who are polarizing - or the person who has substantial experience working on both sides of the aisle. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Yes, I support Obama. &amp;nbsp;He's the right choice for America and where we need to go in the future.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It's not good enough to just go back to what we had in the 90's - we need to go further - we need to expand who we are and how we fit into the global economy for financial reasons and for safety reasons. &amp;nbsp;Obama is by far the better choice.</description></item><item><title>Clinton on air in Wisconsin</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/02/12/657845.aspx#658503</link><pubDate>Tue, 12 Feb 2008 18:27:28 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:658503</guid><dc:creator>TH, midwest</dc:creator><description>Look, we will never have &amp;quot;universal&amp;quot; state mandated health care. &amp;nbsp;This is not a knock on Hillary or a vote for Obama. &amp;nbsp;The same issues are championed by candidates in the Democratic party every election cycle, and the profits of the drug companies still go up. &amp;nbsp;Gas prices are still going to go up. &amp;nbsp;Poor people are still shown less respect than rich people.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;To stay focused on health care, I am beginning to get the sense that voters somehow think they are going to suddenly receive &amp;quot;free&amp;quot; health insurance because a democrat waves a magic wand or something. Hillary's &amp;quot;universal&amp;quot; plan still costs a ton of money. &amp;nbsp;In order to acheive this pie in the sky health care coverage, our taxes would skyrocket. &amp;nbsp;I have yet to hear a single person on this or any other site ask to pay a higher tax rate. &amp;nbsp;European countries with state run health systems charge a much higher tax rate than ours.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In the end, when a president and congress finally grow a pair and stand up to the corporations that have been sucking the life out of this country with totally out of whack profit margins, we may finally get to the point where everyone can afford insurance. </description></item><item><title>Clinton on air in Wisconsin</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/02/12/657845.aspx#658511</link><pubDate>Tue, 12 Feb 2008 18:29:25 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:658511</guid><dc:creator>Nicholas, MN</dc:creator><description>[Here's the script for &amp;quot;Obligation&amp;quot;:]&lt;br&gt;--The title of this ad coincides very well with the Clinton campaign. &amp;nbsp;Two things I've glaringly noticed: there is an obligation to vote for a Clinton and an obligation of government intervention to solve everyone's ills with Clinton giving of course.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;drbob10001: Save your breath Dr. Bob, as no Clinton supporter that I have seen here will listen to reason when it comes to healthcare.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Leave the damn media alone, my goodness! &amp;nbsp;Some of the Clinton supporters are using the media to drum sympathy for an attacked woman. &amp;nbsp;Seems to go against the very grain of feminism, and is pretty sad commentary.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It is no different than those who blame the Clintons for initiating the whole race debacle. &amp;nbsp;No, they did not, it was a topic on the cusp of coming forth and the SC primary gave it the nudge. &amp;nbsp;Yet, whilst the Clintons did not initiate it, they sure perpetuated the racial divide.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;i.m.r.</description></item><item><title>Clinton on air in Wisconsin</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/02/12/657845.aspx#658526</link><pubDate>Tue, 12 Feb 2008 18:32:55 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:658526</guid><dc:creator>Keith in Maryland</dc:creator><description>I don't think her plan can ever become law due to the federal mandates in it. &amp;nbsp;Obama is the only one with a plan that has a decent shot of making it through congress.</description></item><item><title>Clinton on air in Wisconsin</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/02/12/657845.aspx#658529</link><pubDate>Tue, 12 Feb 2008 18:33:24 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:658529</guid><dc:creator>Debra             Austin,Tx</dc:creator><description>Do you think she can nurse the country from the Bush administration's attacks on the constitution, particularly the eavesdropping on American citizens here in the US.

So I'll try again here! I want to point out that Obama HAS won four of the 17 &amp;quot;Biggest&amp;quot; Electoral states!(those with Electoral votes over 10). I am so tired of this refrain that he has not won big states. Illinois has 21 Electoral votes and is the 5th largest. I know it is Obama's home state but it is Hillary's BIRTHSTATE - and she lost by a very wide margin. (Obama did much better in her state of NY) Obama has also won Georgia which has 15 Electoral votes. He has won Missouri and Washington, each with 11. If he wins VA today that is another of the &amp;quot;Big 17&amp;quot; with 13 Electoral votes. AND - DOES ANYONE SERIOUSLY THINK THAT IF OBAMA IS THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE THAT HE WILL LOSE NY, NJ, MA, or CA in the FALL TO JOHN MCCAIN??! OF COURSE NOT! Obama has shown he can win in ALL parts of the country - and with lots of INDEPENDENTS and cross-over GOP VOTERS! In a year when Democratic turn-out is DOUBLE that of the GOP, it is VERY likely that Obama will carry both &amp;quot;Purple&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Red&amp;quot; states like Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Maine, Washington, Colorado, etc. He will make the South competitive in places like VA and Louisiana and Georgia. He will definitely be the stronger Democratic nominee! &amp;nbsp;</description></item><item><title>Clinton on air in Wisconsin</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/02/12/657845.aspx#658763</link><pubDate>Tue, 12 Feb 2008 19:29:42 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:658763</guid><dc:creator>sandy, arkansas</dc:creator><description>hillary is only interested in getting power, she could care less about you or me. people in her position cannot relate to people who have to work everyday, worry about gas prices, food, healthcare and how if we will be able to pay for everything each week. there is not one person holding an office position that has not got his or hers own interest at heart and unless the american people stand up and fight for what is right in the country it will stay this way but yet they keep getting elected and we still keep complaining </description></item><item><title>Clinton on air in Wisconsin</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/02/12/657845.aspx#658775</link><pubDate>Tue, 12 Feb 2008 19:32:20 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:658775</guid><dc:creator>James G., Oak Park, MI</dc:creator><description>Thank you Jack in Burlington.

Why would you want to vote for someone who has just told the country that anyone who voted in caucuses are activists and their votes don't really count.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Also, if you saw the movie &amp;quot;Sicko&amp;quot; you would know that she gets lots and lots of money from insurance and pharmaceutical companies. her healthcare plan FORCES everyone to buy insurance... at what price? We have no idea.</description></item></channel></rss>
