Healthcare

I have never been so disgusted with Washington in my life. If this bill passes, for the first time in my life I will not be proud of my country! I believe that we should have a safety net for the less fortunate, but for the rest of us we should be willing to pay for our own healthcare above the 5 or ten dollar co pay. I just watched a woman argue on MSNBC (was inadvertent remote malfunction) that abortion needs to be covered why can't a woman pay for an "elective" abortion. In this country we have lost sight of the value of healthcare and healthcare providers because so many in Washington and others around the country believe it should be free. We need to go to a consumer centered approach to healthcare.
