Frank
For that amount of money per family ($1300) per year I could take care of my own.
RAP
No, Frank, you could not. $1300 doesn't get you very far in today's health care market.
Dan
This bill covers children of the self-employed. To not have it would be devastating.
MC
So now if someone chooses to be self-employed, others get to foot the bill? And it's not just for the self-employed. If you read the fine print, it covers low-income persons as well. There has got to be a better way to modify our healthcare system.

Dan, on the surface $1300 to cover the children of self employed sounds great. But step back for a moment and take a look at the bills on this site that cost taxpayers money. Now have a look at the ones that save taxpayers money. Do you notice a trend here? The Social Security fund is bone dry, and the average American already pays about 50% or more of his/her earnings to the government in taxes in one form or another. The only way to get health care costs down is to break the monopoly that the government, big pharma, and the insurance companies have on the system, and give it back to doctors and patients. Check out HR 2117 for example.
