Health care is FREE in most countries, Cuba and many other countries. So why do Americans have to pay There is something about the new health care bill, that people should be concerned about. 1. The Government is saying that it will me MANDORTORY, for people to BUY health care insurance. 2. And if you don't buy it, you could be FINED up to 3000 dollars, or face up to 1 year in jail. Shouldn't Americans be raising hell over that What about the poor people that can't afford to buy health care insurance are they going to be sent to jail, if they can't pay the 3000 dollar fine? Black Americans you better put your thinking caps on. Edited by Nat Turner, Nov 5 2009, 05:26 PM.

If health care was free, tax would skyrocket. Canado for instance, have you ever looked on the back of a book and seen like "US 9.99, CA 12.99" so they are paying more for everyday convenient items, but getting majority free health care (unless high priced surgery). I realy don't know which one i would choose, how about u? |

Health care and a college education is free in Saudi Arabia, and may other countries. But in America everything is exploited. Should it be madortory for Americans to buy health insurance, what about poor whites and poors blacks that can't afford it. Should they be fined or sent to jail, like this new health care bill is trying to do? |

The problem is America has made everything profitable to the point of no return. We can't just make healthcare free, then the doctors and engineers producing new equipment will complain. Tax will hit the roof to replace health care insurance. |

They take money out of our checks for wars, they could do the same for health care, and that way nobody would miss it. A cheap health insurance plan can host you 150.00 dollars a month. A poor person that's just making ends meet, how can they afford that? |

What Obama said was that if you can AFFORD the insurance and you intentionally dodge it then you will be punished....Fox news tried to twist that around last week. A lot of other countries are not advanced in medicine like we are; and the ones that are advanced with free health (i.e Canada) they pay those bills too but not in a lump sum. Have you ever bought a book and on the back it says US9.99 CA12.99?? that is exactly why, they are charged extra for everything just to pay for this (so-called) FREE health care. "Nothing is free but advice...and sometimes you gotta pay for that shit too" - my dad |

What Nat Turner said I've also heard that all over the news, and I don't even listen to Fox News. What I've heard the news saying is that with the Obama new Health Care Bill, it will be mandortory that you buy it, and if you don't buy it you can be fined 1000's of dollars or you may be sentenced to jail. Shouldn't the American people be concerned about that kind of set up? |

I WATCHED THE INTERVIEW. and if you listen to what he said and not engage into the interpretation from the news...you will her him say that. Yes it is considered mandatory but he definitely was referring to those trying to milk the system when it came to punishment. |

either way American are going to complain. If we did like Canada and boost the price and convenient items then people will complain...raise taxes people complain...That is why we never get anything accomplished |
