Comment: If you are in doubt about the government being able to handle health care, all you have to do is look at the way they fouled up social security! from Mobile, AL by David

Comment: President Barack Obama is doing a great job from pensacola

Comment: no they can't even run Medicare and Medicaid without waste and fraud from pensacola by norma

Comment: Sure don't...look at some of the other ventures the govt has tried. It would also cause longer wait periods for immediate care issues. Look at how long it takes Tricare to refer folks. Sometimes up to 3 weeks for critial tests. from FWB, FL by Jon

Comment: You have to be kidding me. Those bums in DC couldn't come ups with a reform plan for a skunk hunt. from pensacola fl by jim

Comment: The Govt.can't pay what they are doing now.Name one program that the Govt. runs that is efficient and cost effective. from pensacola fl by sam

Comment: No! I think our President means well but he seems to have "all the answers" to everything...that causes me concern. from Pensacola,Fl by D

Comment: I'll answer the question with a question. Have you ever known of the government running ANYTHING efficiently? As P.J. O'Rourke, the comedian, so eloquently stated, "If you think healthcare is expensive now, wait until it's free!" We don't need Obamacare! from Crestview, FL by Doug

Comment: They've screwed everything else up, what whould give us cause to think they could accomplish a successful health care plan. from pensacola florida by Cliff

Comment: I can honestly answer NO to this question. I wouldn't trust our government to be able to find its' way out of the city of Washington, D.C. Since our government already has their own health care plan in place, and nobody is going to mess with theirs; I do not trust that they will be able to devise a comprehensive plan remotely similar to what they enjoy as legislators/administration officials. from Mary Esther, FL. by Tom

Comment: any sort of competition for the for profit health companies would be fantastic!!!! especially the from the government! this should lower the prices of heath care to more of a manageable level! the way the health industry was going, in a few short years, the cost would have surpassed buying a house and only the top 5% of the people here in the states would have been able to afford the insurace and care costs...i consider health care to be equally important as the military, so i think that an equal amount of money spend on defense should also be spent on heath care of the tax-payers...! from p'cola fl by h

Comment: I wouldn't trust government to spray my boo-boo with neosporin and put a band aid on it much less reform health care. from Cantonment, Fl. by Jeff

Comment: Socialistic medicine doesn't work. People will get not get the care required in a timely manner as the 'government' will always be looking to cut cost and corners. Politicians are not physicians. Look at the UK. Look at Cananda. They all are cautioning us not to do this. from Pensacola, FL by D

Comment: Absolutely not. We keep expecting the gov't to run everything and they continue to prove they cannot even tie their own shoes. from Gulf Breeze, FL by Don
