Bill Clinton on Health Care: ‘Worst Thing We Can Do is Nothing’

The worst thing they could do is just what the Democrats are doing,they are creating another entitlement when they can't afford the ones already promised. What Stimulus,where are the jobs?

Isn't it odd that when it comes to abortion, liberals are all 'get your laws off my body'.

But when it comes to every other medical procedure, liberals are all 'put your laws all over my body'.

Whatever happened to those liberals that didn't want the government involved when a doctor and patient were making medical decisions?

Where did those guys go?

The Democrats need to stop being scared of the Republicans and pass the bill out of the Senate.If the Senate does nothing healthcare costs go up so Democrataic Senators get up off your behinds and write this healthcare reform bill to help Americans have lower costs and better choices.It is needed now not later.America is waiting.

We need free market reforms in health care. Colon clinics, stitch clinics, you name it. Car insurance is not used for new tires, home insurance is not used for changing light bulbs. Health insurance should not be used for small things. What is small, well we need to determine that. The free market is the only thing that drives down costs. In health care lasik and cosmetic surgery have come doen because doctors have to compete for our business in those areas. We need to look in the opposite direction for answers or listen to Ron Paul.

We shall see if the Clinton era has truly come to an end based on whether or not the Dems follow Clinton's advice and circle the wagons to get a vote done by Christmas. The abortion thing is an example of the petty infighting plaguing the reform push.

"First, he said the opposition is so loud because Democrats are so close to victory." As the driver runs over the children crossing the street. Why are they so hell-bent that they don't acknowledge the danger ahead?

We need to take the Doctor's oath, first, do no harm. To pass a mess like this will certainly do harm. It would be the dumbest thing we can do. The American people know this, the majority are against it in the latest polls. No one needs more taxes, more penalties and national bankruptcy.

There are definitely worse things we can do than nothing. Turning our health over to the government would be one thing.

"The plight of the uninsured (whose number is far less than claimed) should be directly addressed without co-opting and destroying the entire U.S. medical infrastructure. Limited, targeted reforms can ban gouging and unfair practices and can streamline communications now wastefully encumbered by red tape. But insurance companies and the pharmaceutical industry are not the sole cause of mounting healthcare costs, and constantly demonizing them is a demagogic evasion."

NO. NO. NO... there are far worse things we can do!
