You are correct. Why? Because the American people made it clear they expect health care reform, and if they don't get it by 2010 there will be hell to pay.
Yeah I know the conservatives here will just blow this off, but what the heck...
The reason the WH is pushing for a bill is they are trying to NOT repeat the mistakes of 1993. Just ponder for a moment; $1.4 million a day is being spent right now on lobbyists seeking to derail reform.

Now does anyone think that they have OUR interests in mind, or their own corporate interests?
FYI:
Poll: Most Back Public Health Care Option
NBC News/Wall Street Journal Survey (PDF)
76% said it was "Extremely" or "Quite" important to give a choice of BOTH a public plan administered by the federal government, and a private plan for their health insurance

There was no understanding of medicine in 1776. I assume you are joking.
TARP was "rammed" through by the Bush administration. I don't think it's premature to pass a bill of intent regarding health care, even if the details need to be filled in later. Republicans simply don't want health care because they get campaign funding from the pharmaceutical and insurance industries. It's that simple. Most Americans want health care, and that is who Congress is supposed to represent.
What does the "right to healthcare" even mean?
It means "replace doctors and nurses with DMV employees, tax the living crap out of everyone, and then ration everything."
The bill changes the educational and experience requirements (MD, Nursing degree, etc.) individuals have to meet before they can practice medicine?
You are partially correct. 46% of American favor health reform.
On the other hand, 49% oppose it according to the latest Rasmussen Poll.
That makes you mostly wrong.
I have heard from several sources that over 72% of Americans favor health care reform
But there was an understanding of rights.
Health care ain't a right.
It should considering our training of doctors is antiquated.
It should also remove the ability of licensing boards to limit the number of doctors.
says who??
is college education a right?
Is dental a right?
Where is it in the constitution that the government has the right to take my money to pay for your (general you) poor health habits?
So the government should standardize educational training doctors achieve? Personally I think the medical community should control this.
I agree with this. If I put in the time and money to earn my degree and education and am deemed qualified to execute procedures I should receive no push back on obtaining a license.
Which sources? :lol:
A clear majority of Americans -- 72 percent -- support a government-sponsored health care plan to compete with private insurers, a new CBS News/New York Times poll finds. Most also think the government would do a better job than private industry at keeping down costs and believe that the government should guarantee health care for all Americans.
Sixty-nine percent of Americans support creation of a government-run health plan to compete with private insurance companies, a new poll found.
In addition, 52 percent of those surveyed by Hamden, Connecticut-based Quinnipiac University said such a plan would keep the private insurance companies honest. Thirty-two percent disagreed. Twenty-six percent said they opposed a government-run insurance program. Some health-care overhaul plans proposed by Democrats in Congress would include a government-run plan, while Republicans are leading the fight against such a program.
you are evading the question. Current polls show a wide majority of Americans favor health care reform.
49% Oppose Health Care Reform Plan, 46% Favor It
Monday, July 13, 2009
Forty-nine percent (49%) of U.S. voters now at least somewhat oppose the health care reform plan proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats, while 46% at least somewhat favor it, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey.
Just two weeks ago, 50% were for the reform plan, and 45% were opposed.
The “nays” also continue to have the edge in terms of intensity. While 22% strongly favor the Democrats’ health care reform plan, 38% strongly oppose it, up four points from the previous survey.
Among those voters who have health insurance, opposition is even higher: 43% favor the plan, but 52% oppose it. Those who strongly oppose it outnumber those who strongly favor it by two-to-one – 40% to 20%.
you are evading the question. Current polls show a wide majority of Americans favor health care reform.
The definition of the term.says who??
Rasmussen is usually more accurate than the others......

I see this bill changing how doctors are paid and what doctors a person utilizing government health care can choose.
Don't get me wrong. I don't agree with with the payment or the choosing restrictions. I just don't see how the quality of work performed by doctors would lower. Unless of course the government instituted their own subpar certification program and removed the college educational requirement that doctors must obtain now.
says who??
You ever hear of "government efficiency"?
Me neither.
Why are you people pretending government run healthcare will be more effective than what I have now?
I see this bill reducing the number of people choosing medicine as a career. One doesn't have to study for fifteen years to become a civil servant.
You just need to learn the purpose of rhetoric.
