They would if taxes were lowered and they were given a choice.


No. They wouldn't. I don't pay 30k a year in taxes, which is what it would cost to send my two kids to private school.

Won't somebody please think of the children.


According to a news show I listened to, one of the biggest impacts the economic downturn has made is on people who are changing their health coverage to make it more affordable. The children aren't getting the proper care they need, especially preventive care.
By all means let's reform health care...especially for the children.

@FreeDuck,


The future of your two kids rest solely in the hands of the government... that amounts to child abuse.

Look at these issues as if the government was never and never would be involved... what are you going to do?

@H2O MAN,
No, the education of my two kids on the public school system, which I have the power to improve by my own involvement -- sort of like with my government. We are fortunate to have a government that requests and accepts our participation. I think we should stop being afraid of it and start bending it to our will.

You can't cut back on the beer if you have children.

Obama's Doctor Knocks ObamaCare
David Whelan, 06.18.09, 05:08 PM EDT
Dr. David Scheiner took care of Obama for 22 years. But they don't see eye-to-eye on how to fix the health care system.

David Scheiner, an internist based in the Chicago neighborhood of Hyde Park, has a diverse practice of lower-income adults from the nearby housing projects mixed with famous patients like U.S. Sen. Carol Mosely Braun, the late writer Studs Terkel and, most notably, President Barack Obama.

Scheiner, 71, was Obama's doctor from 1987 until he entered the White House; he vouched for the then-candidate's "excellent health" in a letter last year. He's still an enthusiastic Obama supporter, but he worries about whether the health care legislation currently making its way through Congress will actually do any good, particularly for doctors like himself who practice general medicine. "I'm not sure he really understands what we face in primary care," Scheiner says.

@Yankee,
Yeah, he wants a single payer all government plan. Obama's plan doesn't go far enough, according to him. I can't believe you're endorsing that, Yankee.

@JPB,
Hey, who cares? As long as the doctor is speaking out against his own patient ....

Scheiner thinks that a good health reform would be "Medicare for all," a single-payer system where the government would cover everyone and pay for it by cutting out waste in the system. "A neurosurgeon gets paid $20,000 for cutting into the neck of my patient. Have him get paid $1 million a year instead of $2 million or $3 million. He won't starve," Scheiner says.
