On Shouting out: Protesters cheerfully oppose health care reform

These people are so ignorant. I lived in a country with national health care and it was wonderful. Never to worry about paying your insurance, losing your job, not even seeing a doctor's bill. Getting into the Doctor right away, the doctor's doing house calls. You don't know what your missing. The United States is the richest country in the world with one of the worst health care systems, and the most expensive by far. You are being fed lies and propaganda by the huge pharmaceutical companies and insurance companies. You need national health care now!

Shame on you Janesville Gazette, for your obvious partisan reporting, "McCain responds to GM plant news, "Obama joins chorus on GM" How biased can you be, just in your headlines. Why didn't McCain join chorus? In fact, of the two of them only Obama ever bothered to come and visit GM.

I would like to ask then are all industrialized countries, apart from the U.S. marxist? Have you ever lived in a country with universal health care? only once you have lived in a country with and without will you know the true value.

I also have to ask billnewbie if he went to public school or sent his kids to public school. How can education be a right, and healthcare not?

The government is us. In case you forget. We pay the taxes. The reason it needs to be run by the government, is because health care is right now a for profit business. Look at how Japan works it, the government controls all costs, that includes the manufacturers of medical equipment, so no-one gets extremely rich, but everyone does ok.

Our tax payer dollars have been sent over to destroy Iraq. Lets use them to help our people. If our health care system was doing just fine on it's own, this wouldn't be an issue. Costs need to be controlled. This is a way it can be. So many other countries have tried this successfully. Why can't we?

To Northman, and whybesad, We should always be looking and learning. Why can't we learn from other countries. If their system works well and people are 90 - 99% satisfied with their health care. It's a crock to say go and live there then, we are trying to improve OUR country and eveyone agrees the health care system here needs to be fixed. There is a mindset that our government can't run anything. Well give us a chance! Our school system works pretty good. How would you like it if that became private. Ok, everyone now you have to pay x a year to educate your kids, and the cost will go up by an average of 25% every year. You wouldn't be very happy. Universal health care can exist side by side with private health care, so if you want to keep on making insurance and pharmaceutical companies rich you can go ahead. For those people that can't afford it, they need to have the ability to get health care without being afraid of the bills. My husband and I have a very good income, but are self employed, we can hardly afford health care, we pay a large premium every month, that basically only covers us if we spend over $10,000, it's crazy! Good job we don't have any preexisting illnesses because they wouldn't even cover us!

Universal health care is the best thing that could happen to us. Health care should be a right not a priviledge. I have lived in England and we had excellent health care. The wait time was no different than the U.S. in fact many times way better. The Doctor's actually come to your home if your too sick to get out of bed. People die in the U.S. all the time, because they don't have health care, or their insurance only covers a certain amount so they don't go for preventative care. By the time they do, many times it's a major illness and costs are astronomical. Badger care is great and it should be extended to everyone. Let's give our tax dollars to the people, not to invade foreign countries.
