    I am one of those “uninsured Middle-Class Americans” who can’t get insurance because of pre-existing conditions. I welcome Obama’s health Insurance reform.

    The saddest part about health-care reform is that the only thing revolving around insurance companies, senators, a tax payers is money. Not health, unless you ARE unhealthy. Money.

    what do you know about european history?i guess nothing. Hitler wasn´t a socialist. His reforms were made up to prepare the german popoulation for a war. You cannot compare a fascist ideology with socialismus. I live in Germany and I study history in Heidelberg.Don´t get your knowledge of History by only playing Call of Duty.

    A little over a year ago, who in their right mind would of thought we would now have pro-Marxist, pro-Fascist, and pro-Communist advisers and heads of departments in the White House?

    “Do you now appreciate the depth of our National Socialist Movement? Can there be anything greater and more all comprehending? Those who see in National Socialism nothing more than a political movement know scarcely anything of it.”

    Does the above quote remind you of anyone within our own Democratic Party, alone some of the statements made on why we need Health Care Reform?

    Well, the above quote is from another socialist, Adolf Hitler. Think about it. . .

    Can someone please enlighten me on how health care is Right and not a “Good” like purchasing food, clothing etc. Such as how it is a Right” in any form or meaning of the word, especially in accordance with the Constitution of the United States.

    They cant, for Health Care is not a Right.

    Finally a man with the sense and willpower to attempt to bring reform to a highly unfair healthcare system. He was clearly admiring our National Health Service.

    You aren’t too bright the crime rate of blacks is WAY higher then for whites. 1 in 6 black males is in jail or has been in jail. Blacks are 8% of the population yet comprise 50% of the prison population. Educate yourself.

    Sir, that is common knowledge, just google “percentage of crime committed by african americans” You will find lots of proof.
    If Denmark’s population was 65% black the crime rate would not be a concern because You’re people would have to fight like “Vikings” for your very lifes.

    if we took 6 million of your black ppl, we would have about 65% blacks in Denmark. And you know what? I bet you that the crime rating wouldnt rise more than a few percent, and the only reason for it to rise, would be because of the massive increase in population. I would like to see your evidence for such an inconsiderate statistic :)

    “Safest people in the world” Take about 6 million of the 40 million blacks we have and see what that will do for you’re crime rate. They make up 13% of the population in the U.S. and account for 75% of the murders.

    Greetings from Denmark!
    Nationalized health care DOES help. It’s probably one of the reasons why we are some of the “happiest” and safest people in the world. Go Obama, for your own sake.

    No, federal dollars will be used to fund abortions…now, i’m not pro abortion (not intending to offend those that are pro abortion) but i think that people should have the right to abort their child or not. Why wouldn’t this be part of the national healthcare. Another thing, he says that the healthcare will not affect the deficit, but it will, someone will have to pay for the medicine, and it will have to be in the form of tax, if people have to pay their taxes then it wouldn’t be free. Right?
