Question of the week:What do you think about President Obama's efforts to reform health care in the United States?
“The reason why it’s so expensive
is because of
insurance companies.
It’s like car
insurance. I got
to give President
Obama credit for
trying, though. Anything
is better than
Bush.
— Tyler Wormsley,
retail, Bainbridge
“I think people
should get their own
health care and that
it shouldn’t be government
funded.”
— Doug Gould,
unemployed, Davenport
“I think he’s got the right idea.
There should be a public option
for people who can’t
afford it, so I’m for
it. I think health
care should be a
right, not an option.
As a citizen you
should be entitled
to a certain amount
of health care.”
— Michael
Wilkinson, military, Sidney
``I hope he does it. I am a citizen
who is uninsured and I know what
it can do to you financially
if you do
not have insurance.
What I hope he
doesn’t do is cave in
too much, because
we need an option
through our government.”
— Ania Krasinski,
horse trainer, Stamford
“There are people
in need but
don’t have it, and
something needs
to be done about
that.”
— Gregory Black,
retired teacher,
Delhi
“A lot of other countries have
it, and why should anyone in this
country be denied
it. I’ve heard a lot
of good things about
universal health
care, and I’ve heard
negative things, too,
but I think there are
more positive things
to be said about it.’’
— Gail Black, retired
teacher, Delhi
