The debate over how much control government will have over our health care system and what that will mean for average Americans is carrying over to the swine flu epidemic. Although originally promising 120 million vaccines would be made available, at this point a mere 27 million doses have been produced. It’s little surprise that this mass shortage has led to a rationing of shots. What is surprising though, is whom the government has chosen to deliver these vaccines to – detainees at Guantanamo Bay and well-to-do Wall Street execs.
If Washington is successful in its government takeover of health care, prepare for more rationed, taxpayer-subsidized care to also be handed out based on government connections and politically-motivated agendas.

I object to this outrageous scheme of the government to seize more control over our lives!
I oppose the dramatic increase of taxes, rationing and loss of control over our personal health care decisions!
Even a layman like me can see that government run health care is a bad thing. Just look at what a “good job” they’re doing in running social security and the welfare programs! Just goes to show that the politicians pushing for this have other agendas to promote and it’s NOT the welfare of the poor or middle class!

It might not get better in the US for years I guess.
Move to Europe maybe?
I think we need reform .. NOT gov. takeover … they need to legislate the industry not take over!
1) tort reform
2) competition across state lines – allow for private coops in all states
3) legislation to prevent insures to deny insurance to anyone
4) caps on policy costs … maybe that would be a percent of your income … insurance company would charge more to senators and high earners less for …. I trust the private sector to do this with less waste and corruption then the gov.
RE: Jonathan
my husband and i lost our jobs we now have no more money in our 401k — and we have no health care our parents are already dead … should I also demand the gov. provide me a job … The overall 5-year survival rate from liver cancer is less than 10% so most will die with our without insurance … I am sorry about your loss but you are supporting the bill on emotions alone .. not good … the facts are this vapor bill is BAD and will be bad for the majority who have good health care.

I wonder what connection this organization has to America’s Health Insurance Plans, AHIP.
It seems that your interests and theirs coincide neatly.
LINDER V. UNITED STATES, 268 U. S. 5 (1925) (9-0)
“Obviously, direct control of medical practice in the states is beyond the power of the federal government.” Even “Incidental regulation of such practice by Congress through a taxing act cannot extend to matters plainly inappropriate and unnecessary to reasonable enforcement of a revenue measure.”
