20,000 people a year die because they don't have health insurance That's like five 9-11's every year.

No one should die because they cannot afford health care, and no one should go broke because they get sick.

This is not a democrat republican thing. It's an American thing.

We already spend 17% of our gdp on insurance. Canada spends 9 and insures everyone. Is theirs perfect, no. We're Americans, we'll have to do it better. I have faith in our country to do so.

I cannot believe there is opposition to this but then again GW Bush vetoed the Chip program to insure kids whose parents don't have insurance. Thank God we have that in PA. This is not a government hand out. it's an American right..
