Just so you know health insurance is available though private companies for decent prices right now. I'm over 30 and I just acquired catastrophic health insurance for $60 / month. It covers me for any serious issues involving broken bones, stitches and admission into the Hospital. Sure, I have to pay for my annual checkups, and if I get a cold I would have to pay for the office visit and medication, but if I'm saving hundreds per month that wouldn't be a problem. I love my country, but what the real problem is that the government has partially regulated the insurance industry already and it is not allowing the free market system and the American people to regulate costs. Just look at the cosmetic surgery and laser eye surgery industries. The reason why I wanted to include the Republicans involved is so that we do everything in our power to properly reform healthcare.

Lets hope that more Democrats decide the same thing. Then maybe they will have to take the bill back and rework it this time with Republican help!

Since when is making a profit a bad word? People who want this Health Care Bill passed are being brainwashed by the left to think that its the big bad insurance companies that are to blame. That is not the case. The government has already set limits on the insurance companies preventing the market to truly be "free", driving up the cost of health insurance.

Those who are angry at the "big businesses" should be more angry at Congress for violating their oath to uphold the Constitution by mandating that because someone is alive they must purchase health care!

By the way anyone who thinks health insurance is too expensive should know that I'm 33 and just got catastrophic health insurance for $60 / month. Yes, that's right $60! I have to pay for my annual checkups, but I'm covered if anything major goes wrong. Including broken bones and stitches.
