If you are old and need medical help he wants to play GOD and tell the old person to plan their death.

There is so much baggage hung onto the health care bill it scares me.  Say if you agreed on one part of the healthcare and you cast your vote for that one item you just voted for all the bad baggage that will hurt all of us in the long run.  Just look at Canada healthcare it is a complete failure.  Congress and senate have not even read all of it and what they have read throws up a big red flag.

Obama said there are 47 million americans that do not have insurance and he wants everyone in america to have it.  There are approx. 20 million illegas here in america that he is counting as americas.  99 percent of the illegas here in america are not educated people.  Why do the illegas think america owes them something.  They are pulling america down

Obama is running this country into the ground financially.  He has maligned the police, himself is a racist... it seems only white people can be racist....not true.  We don't need healthcare by government control.  It is a death warrant to the seniors in the US.  We don't need to provide healthcare for illegals, and their children.  I am tired of my tax dollars supporting illegals...and this healthcare bill would continue to provide services for all illegals. Send them back home.  If I went to Mexico, or anyother country, I would not be taken care of medically or financially.

Obama is an extremely liberal politician and as we learned last Wednesday evening, he's also a rascist.  It would have been difficult to sit in a church under the racist preacher Rev. Jeremiah Wright and not become like him over time.  Obama doesn't give a twit about improving health care; he's a control freak.  First it was a continuation of the bank bailouts, then it was Government Motors, Tax and Trade and now he wants to ruin the finest health care system in the world.  He wants to ration health care, provide money for abortions and sex change operations, as well as, provide health care for 10 million illegals who he thinks will become Democrats.  He's twisted in his thinking and a danger to America.

The comments in this thread are ridiculous, as is the "Playing God" idea.

End-of-life counseling isn't instructing people on how and when to die, it's a form of education that is necessary because we live so much longer. And, given the huge medical expenses concentrated in the last years of life, a better informed patient is in the position to both live better and help reduce the cost of their care by choosing how they want to live. I, for one, do like the idea of being in control and not simply proscribed a lot of treatments I don't need or that don't improve the quality of my life when I am old.

There are nowhere near 20 million people in the United States illegally. The correct number is about 11 million, which is down from the historic high of 12.5 million in 2007.

President Obama isn't a racist. How many racists get people who are in an argument together for a beer? Racists burn crosses and start riots for their own benefit. Having an opinion about the handling of an arrest is an American right and a conservative tradtion. It's the people who are looking to twist every word to portray their political enemies as inhuman who are the danger to this country.

This person who thinks Obama is not a racist needs to dig into Rev. Jeremiah Wright  teachings and anybody that can sit in his church for 20 years and listen how he hates america and GOD SHOULD DAM AMERICA YOU ARE A RACIST.  Obama is letting the Illegals come to this country and just take it over.  If you think different get up from your computer and take a walk around your town or city.

godsdog nailed it by exposing the exaggerations that BATRON131313, CharlieSanders, and Marge have copied from Ruwsh Lamebrain. I am one of those who is well beyond retirement age. I have kept my original Medicare and not sined up for one of the insurance company plans. All those I know of who have signed up for what the insurance companies have offered to replace the original healthcare are crying about the rotten deal that they are getting from those insurance companies.

Also, learn about what "End-of-Life" counseling is -- and what it is not. End-of-Life counseling is about making choices while I can. I can make up a living will. A living will allows me to state now, while I am still healthy and can communicate, what care I want in the event that I cannot be restored to health and cannot communicate for myself. It allows me to appoint a Medical-Power-of Attorney, to speak for me when I cannot speak for myself. It allows me to stop resusitation from being done to me, by completing a form, that will stop well meaning persons from bringing me  DNR (Do-Not-Resussitate)back to a horrible existence, perhaps where I have to live by artificial means (that is living?), with feeding tubes, unable to communicate, or think.

As for Obama being a racist. Some people do not have any idea of what a racist is. Stop trying to hang Jeremiah Wright on Obama. Look at what Obama has done over the years, not just a single comment made based on what he pointed out before he said it was based upon incomplete inrformation. Racist hide behind masks--never apologise-nor retract, burn crosses on people lawns, etc. Obama has and will continue to make mistakes, just like the rest of us. He has and will continue to sometimes miss-speak, just like the rest of us. He never claimed to be superhuman-nor did he pretend that he was God.

In case you are interested, I am not a bleeding heart liberal. I am an educated, thinking, analyzing, caucasian, whose ancestors and descendants, have fought on the side of the USA in most every war including the Revolutionary War--up to and including both of the the Iraq fiascos. I have studied how USA political leaders acquired Mexican land, seperating families, then passed laws that made it almost impossible for them to re-unite, yet welcomed those from other countries. People who want to imigrate from other countries, but cannot do so from their own country, establish themselves in Canada, from where they can immigrate to the USA. They do not go to Mexico and try to legally immigrate into the USA. Why is that? Think about it. It is because USA politicians have made it very difficult to come to the USA from Mexico and much easier from Canada. Is that reasonable? I think not.

Somehow my previous comment became garbled and full of errors. Can anyone tell me how to edit it and correct the errors?

When people come from Canada to the US they dont ask our government to support them such as welfare, wick,food stamps and free medical care.  They bring something good to the US.  On the other hand for the most part people from Mexico or south america bring nothing to the US but trouble and problems which we had nothing to do with.  They dont add but take away from America.  If Mexico is so bad stay why dont the mexican people stay there and make it better instead of coming to this country and drag it down.  The mexican people dont want to learn english or our way of life.  They feel we should cater to them.  My question is why should america do this.  So yes we welcome people from Canada and not so much from Mexico.
