Health bill price too high for America
The health care bill is unprecedented in requiring Americans to buy something that should be optional and voluntary.
The bill's proponents claim they want to help uninsured millions who are "denied" care, but I myself am uninsured and recently received excellent care for a back injury at MUSC. The hospital's private charity covered 95 percent of my cost, and my friends, family and church community helped with living expenses until I returned to work.
This kind of private solution is what Americans need, not government interference and control. I am healthy and rarely visit a doctor; I don't want to be forced to buy insurance, wasting a percentage of my income to effectively pay for sick people for whom I am not responsible. It is more efficient for me to pay out of pocket and be helped by my private community. Let the private sector work; more government bureaucracy is the last thing we need. This disastrous bill will only further bankrupt America.
