The worst part of reading these questions is how ignorant of the facts involved almost all of them are.

Congressmen and -women have access to the same health plans as most federal employees. They pay for it through payroll deductions just like most people with employer provided group plans.
Some Guy:
Quote: Why won't you let peopel buy health insurance across state lines to increase competition and bring down the price of health insurance?
The health insurance overhaul allows you to buy across state lines once your state and the other state in question agree to allow it.

Quote: Why is it that on the health care reform you are not giving people the right to make their own decision. You say that they all have to have health care but let them think for themselves. Let them think for themselves.
Hospitals are currently required to provide emergency treatment to anyone regardless of their ability to pay. This forces them to increase the cost to people who can pay to make up the difference. If we want to reign in the individual cost of health care we can either allow people to die easily preventable deaths on the street or require everyone to pay into the system in accordance with their ability to do so. This was actually a Republican idea and they've destroyed every last shred of their credibility by fighting against it.

Quote: when exactly are going going to let our free market system be free, there will be revolution before the government is able to force me to buy a product i dont want there always has to be a lower class its what makes the free market system work.
Health care doesn't follow the principles of a free market because the demand is inelastic, unpredictable and, frequently immediate. Because of this there can be no mutual equitable agreement of price between buyer and seller. If you still have questions about this I recommend returning to high school and demanding that you be better prepared for life.
and the next one down is blaming Obama for the war in Afghanistan.... I have not the words.

Yeah, and I think there's a very good chance he'd like to deal with it. Just not before his second term, he's not gonna surrender the law & order vote that easily when he's gearing up to fight a national election.
