No.. Institute a National Health Insurance Model like Canada & South Korea.
@8PBY8XC4yrs4Y
I support the idea, but I would also like for citizens to have the option to have their own private healthcare accounts.
@8R7JPB54yrs4Y
Healthcare is a necessity for a healthy life, we must begin looking at ways to remove the profit motive from healthcare.
@38LNC724yrs4Y
No, either making a universal health care for all -or- open the markets so insurers can compete across state lines and reduce costs. Either would be better as the system we have is anti-competitive with big giveaways to Pharma/Insurance which is why Americans pay more than any other country for health care.
@2HN4HSX4yrs4Y
No, I support the spirit of the plan, giving everyone helthcare. However, forcing a product on the population by government mandate with the consequences of fines or even jailtime is unconstitutional and immoral.
@63ZXW6N4yrs4Y
I dislike the requirement to have it. But aside from that, there should be a public healthcare option available.

@6WHP7WC4yrs4Y
No, but we should offer a national Public Option to compete with private insurance.
@Biasterror924yrs4Y
No, it should just be free.
@7Y67TWY4yrs4Y
More Important to lower the price of healthcare procedures to make insurance more attainable for all.
@8D5J4RR4yrs4Y
Too expensive, we already spend too much.
@8DN4WYN5yrs5Y
The government should encourage a "free market" in healthcare. As an attorney who spent a number of years representing hospitals the over-regulation of insurance has actually resulted in absurdly additive healthcare costs for administrative purposes. Any further expansion into healthcare by the government is actually counterproductive and will not reduce healthcare costs. When has the government ever taken control of a part of the economy and actually made it fair or equitable? Never...
@8MCVG8W4yrs4Y
No, I support federal plans but also have a public option.
@8R7N6V44yrs4Y
Primary Direct Care is superior.
@GreatPondG4yrs4Y
No, it has hurt healthcare more than it has helped but it was good in concept
@8Z6PZKW3yrs3Y
No, but I am for an optional federal healthcare plan
